I don't even know what that is.

Heh. I'm aware of the Barrett. My ass isn't quite bad enough for that.

The new Adams Arms PDW is a bad SOB!!! It is a 5.56 that has 3 different barrels for different uses. One is a tiny little short one for a close range entry gun, one is a medium length barrel, and one is a long barrel for long range accuracy. They can be swapped out without changing the entire upper which is a new design. I subscribe to Guns and Weapons for Law Enforcement magazine and they have some awesome s**t!!!

Still a huge fan of the 308. Just a damn fine all purpose round. 30.06 isnt too far behind it but the slope it shoots on get annoying. As long as were talking about wierd calibers, the short mags offer some pretty good ballistics.

That's actually where I started, Jet -- the .243 WSM. As I read more about it, I lost interest. Too prone to jamming. But it led me to the 6.5x55, which I'd known about years (& years & years) ago, but long forgotten.

Oh, and the .308 -- that M1A sounds terrific, but out of my price range.

For what it's worth, I hunt with a .270 and it's a fine gun with essentially no recoil to worry about.

Hey urby, they have a automatic shotgun, might be good for huntin'. youtube automatic shotgun...

Not to derail a thread too badly but i'm in the market for a new handgun. I own 3 1911/45acp, 44 magnum, 500 magnum, 2 .38's and a 357. I'm torn between a Smith and Wesson M&P 40, a Beretta 92FS. I've carried the 92FS at work, its a 9mm, shoots well and is fun and easy to shoot. I could break my wife into semiautos with it... but it's still a 9mm....eh. M&P shots awesome, good caliber and quality....but it's not one of my truty 45's....thoughts and opinions. Also a buckmark 22 looks like fun, could be used for plinking and small game acquisition. Probably be a good addition to my survival kit.

Make the gun non-rust metal (stainless) and synthetic stock.

Make the cartridge something that is readily available like Win 308, 30-06 or 270.

If it is a "just-in-case" gun  you want to be able to find ammo and you don't want to worry about rust.

After a drunk Duty, I believe the cape buffalo is one of the most dangerous animals on the planet.

Perhaps, but you can't disable a buffalo with a well placed kick to the ankle.

I went with the HSM AR-15 in the 5.56. I'd say that the ammo should always be pretty easy to come across. Haven't had the chance to shoot it yet. Can't wait.

I am going for my first cape buffalo this october. It has been a dream a long time coming. Last year I took a lion which was amazing. This year buffalo. After that maybe leopard or gizzly.
