Best I can do is a 6.5" 29-2 and a pretty Asian girlfriend.

Good start, let's see them both

I took a Cape buffalo in Botswana with my Ruger #1 in 458 Lott.
Google Jack Lott to learn why he invented the 458 Lott - interesting read.

Hell of a trophy. And fascinating landscapes I'm sure.

Probably more elephants were shot with 7mm rimmed double rifles than any other caliber.

Note to younger guys. Don't buy big bore bolt action rifles. The browning bar semi auto in magmun calibers is easier on your body as you get older. It's something you can always shoot and enjoy. The bar is a sporting rifle.

When I was younger, me and my brother would love to shoot 3" Magnum slugs from a pump gun. The recoil was the point. We'd shoot it, look over at the other guy and just giggle. It was fun. We had nothing to kill that needed that much power, it was purely for the enjoyment of touching off a small bomb and hearing the boom and feeling the recoil. After about 8-10 of those though I was all giggled out. Fast forward 20 years and I find my fun elsewhere. Perhaps on the rimfire range. That is a beautiful rifle and I would love to own such a wonderful firearm. It would look great hanging on the wall.
