My friend (Morris) said his beloved caliber is the 256 Win Mag he got at a Ducks Unlimited banquet last season. My most beloved rifle is the Savage Model 12 I got at Target in Lindsborg.
I really like the Savage Model 12 in 7mm- 08 and 256 Win Mag alot. The best shooting caliber for buffalo and larger game is 256 Win Mag and the best all around caliber for small and medium game is 7mm- 08.
I got my Savage 7mm- 08 online at Wal Mart. The best all around caliber I own is probably the 256 Win Mag from Wiley Outdoor Sports in Lindsborg. I bought the rifle at a garage sale and learned how to work on Savage single actions. I like the the 7mm- 08 best for buffalo hunting.
