How do you not have 1M subs yet?! Videography, clarity and video setup is far and above what others are doing!
If I could have only one rifle for hunting and sport shooting even long range - I would dependently take the .308 Win. A lot of ammo in .308 you could find round the world, for sport and hunting in all kind bullet weights and so so on. Even .308 is price wise very interesting. If you don't hunt South African Cape Buffalo or Elephants it is good for all kind of antelope. Even for shooting up to 1000m it works if you know how to calculate the ballistic. But thanks' god, I life in Switzerland and I'm allowed to own as much gun I want to own in all kind of calibers!
regards from Switzerland
If I could only have one rifle to use for everything it would be a 7MM REM MAG. hands down one of the best calibers ever made!
Yup best for all
I also have one
Well after a lot of thought I would say 308. since it can do everything. But if you are reloading then 6.5 Creedmore.
Creedmoor
@@hencooosthuizen467 Fixed. Thanks Bud 👍
I do own a lot of different rifles in different calibres, but If I would have to get rid of all my rifles but one it would differently be my Tikka T3x CTR action chambered in .308w I would keep. The 308w has the most abilities to cover the whole spectre of tasks I have at least from my point of view. It can hunt most species with great results. It has a decent performance while long-range shooting. It's relatively cheap to train with. At least where I live.
I would keep my Tikka 300wsm. As I was reload fairly cheap and very good accuracy mine likes the 155 gr bullets seated so they just barely work in the magazine. Loaded with Suprformace by Hornady specs can get 3410fps
Dude... you stole my answer!!! 😊👍🏼
I would really love to see a video on South African gun laws
Forgotten Weapons did one a while ago. which did 2 things show how silly many of our laws are and how lucky we have compared to other countries. I would love and update and maybe even some encouragement of people to get involved with some of the petitions going on like "license the owner"
@@MScholtz what do you mean by petitioning for "license gun owners"?
@@GrizzlyDude in SA we need to license each firearm which includes new barrels slides frames each needs a new license if changed and takes about 6 months. Its like doing you drivers license everytime you buy a car or need a new engine in it. This is why Piet doesn't have his new guns yet. There's s petition that once the person is found competent the firearm is registered to them.
Dont give the commies here any ideas.
If it's only one to do all of them... Gosh probably .308 because ammo is relatively cheap and available, many farms only allow 30 caliber to hunt for larger game, 308 can be used for very long range PRS, doesn't kick like a mule to train. (And no, I don't own a 308 but 6.5CM guy here)
God bless you, too, Pieter - you just went up three places in my book of cool people.
243 win. Few years back I would have said my 308 Win, but now I basically do everything with my 243 Win.
300wm can’t go wrong. Also enjoy the new KTM. I’m on my second one, also can’t go wrong. Cheers
.308Win, From the Beginning have learn from this platform, never looked back.
6.5x55 💪 in Norway its the biggest cal. Aloud on small game and the smallest cal. Aloud on big game. So its the best all-around bullet that we can use. My opinion 🙂
My Remington 700 PSS .308, Best rifle i've ever owned.
If I had to choose it would be a gunwerks 300 win mag with a vortex 4-25x55 mil for scope
300wm for sure, i love my 30-06 but dream set up would be a 300win mag
I would choose 6,5x55SE, Tikka T3x kitted with a MDT Oryx chassi with a Vortex Viper PTS on top!
Easy a winner!!
nosler partition
folks in US snipe vs hunting using bullets ment for paper. 6.5PRC is a 400 yards rifle max (remaining energy 1799 at 400)
6.5 Grendel!! Plenty of quality ammo available with a steel case alternative from Wolf.
Just doesn't have the range
.338 LM, any continent in the world for hunting and popular enough to get rounds, can go extreme long range for precision, my two cents
Im not hunting - but my favorite right now is 6.5CM... best allrounder and enough power for easily well placed shots...
Definitely .308
We do a lot of hunting in the Laeveld and take big animals like eland with the .308 but it also works well in the Cape for some long-range.
7mm-08!! Best of the 6.5cm and .308
Mine will be a7x57 Mauser on a Modern action and a custom barrel in 1:9 twist, no need to say anything more!!
i have a chance to get a fn browning in 6.5x55 with a timmie trigger,the bolt bent ,tapped with 1 pc base.has a new blued brl not sure length or twist for 450 us, it is a belgium ,worth it to use it as a base
@@michaelmuzzy8401 I got my CZ 7x57 in my gun safe all ready. I also have a Mauser( Carl Gustav) in 6,5 x 55 in my gun save, receiver tapped and a scoped on it, very accurate rifle!!!!
For a do everything rifle.
POF Revolution 20" 6.5 Creedmoor with a 45° MRDS and March FX 5-42x56mm optic. Atlas bipod. OWL or MODLITE PLHv2. Vickers Padded sling.
1 x (one) rifle only...6.5 PRC, will be suitable for hunting from Impala to Eland, up close or far out, plus Lapua is now making brass for it...
Ek gee nie om watter kalibers jy in jou kluis het nie solank een n 308 is. .30 kaliber is die minimum kaliber wat op baie wildplase toegelaat word.
24" 6.5CM gasser - I could hunt, shoot PRS, protect hearth and home, etc
Black bears are out of control here in the states. I'm gonna do a black bear hunt in Colorado next fall. Still a Red Stag hunt in New Zealand is my dream hunt.
308 howa in an XRS chassis. Just like I'm building now lol
Good all rounder and ammo is abundant and relatively cheap.
Building the same hahaha.
Hard decision...I love my 6.5 cm, but I’d probably go .30-06 or 7mm rem mag.
A Question for next time. How can you deal with shooter fatigue? This has become a major problem for me in the past year.
6.5PRC or .300PRC, i love my 6.5 Creedmoor but from what you listed it wouldn't be the be all end all rifle
6.5-284 would never leave the 6.5 family🔥
Great Q&A I'm from America and to answer your question. I would go for my 308.
I love my 243win but for overall i would choose my 30-06 spr best rifle ever
Yeah do one on our licensing hassle. Starting out as a new gun owner I can agree it's a hassle
Please do a SA licensing process with emphases on barrel change? That would be freaken awesome!
It could be an interesting thing. As far as I know you need to take it to a gunsmith, order a new barrel and get a certificate saying the previous one is toast and that the replacement is similar. Then you need to apply again for a new license...
.308 win for its’ versatility: long 220 grain high BC, and 110 grain soft points for HD, and 150 grain soft points for hunting.
Hands down i love my 300 win mag....
It would be what I bought. Howa 1500 6.5CM in a mdt oryx chassis. Light enough to carry modular enough for adding bipods etc. And with that the equipment to reload for it.
If reloading I'd pick 6.5 Creedmoor cause it gives the 30 caliber round but a flatter long range round than 308 but if only factory rounds then 308 would still get it done too
The 300 win mag would be my choice honestly. Sure, it might not be the cheapest to shoot but other than that, Magnums in general have more versatility. To me, since there is a lot more offerings in the likes of the .308 projectiles mixed the better extended range performance / lethality of the magnum case while still being able to load it light when the extended range isn't needed gives it the thumbs up in my opinion. I look at it as its like having a 308win, a 30-06spr and a 300win mag all at the same time because I can load it to do exactly the same as any of them....
i would say 270 great big game like deer and elk and it is extremely flat shooting
Awesome bike news. I'm riding the white and blue ktm. 2018 husqvarna te300. Amazing!!!!!
6.5 PRC
Love the content! I just recently got into PRS shooting and I plan on shooting in the next Grind here in the US. I would love to see you there! In my home state of Oklahoma we have a couple companies that make some very nice custom rifle parts. Have you ever heard of impact precision? If so have you ever had the chance to play with one?
Yeah I know of Impact and Tate, I shot a 25 Creedmoor in Oklahoma back in 2018!
@@IMPACTSHOOTING sweet! How does it compare to the bat machine action in your opinion?
I will take a scar l love your videos also life in
SA just in the Northen cape
If I could only have one caliber I’d choose the 280 AI. I love the 7mms and feel like they are now over looked for the 308 calibers especially here in the states. It would allow me to shoot both 280 ai box ammo and safely shoot 280 rem box while keeping fair accuracy for hunting. On the hand loading side I can work up a load for any species I’ll be chasing, whether that’s a moose or a steel plate. Put a good brake on one and I’ve never had a problem watching my impacts.
308W, just built my absolute dream rifle, ran me just $3,500 alone, and then I got my bags and gear for it obviously
No way I could choose only one, but if I had to probably 308. If I could choose two, lightweight 30-06 for hunting and heavy 6mm for competition. If I could choose 3, add a 223 or 22lr. And fourth would definitely be a 12 ga
In the end, for Everything, it would be 308 Win. However, for All round hunting including the big 5, it is really hard to beat .375 H&H, especially in Africa. Finally, my personal favorite is .300WM which due to cost and recoil is marginally second to 308 Win.
N150 in the Dasher should be money, i run it in a 6BRA and i know many others here in Sweden runs it in 6BR, 6BRA and Dasher. ES is ridiculously low and the powder burns cool and are almost insensitive to changes in air temperature witch is a big problem here in where the temperature swing between summer and winter can be 50-70C.
25-06 with 30 krieger barrel for me... Shot in a 1k steel shoot with it. If I wanna go longer, I'll get my 408 CheyTac. Next year will be 25 creedmoore or 250 blackbird. If you can't tell I like the quarter bore.
300wm all the way!
Barrett 416. 😅 no I'm not that rich think I'd stick with my 300-RUM (300 Remington Ultra Mag)
🥃cheers🍻
Now I just need a can that can shut that thunder stick up 🤪
One Rifle?... well If hunting was the only application I would go with 300WSM... but a rifle for both hunting and PRS style target shooting would definitely be 308WIN in a Tikka T3x CTR.
Hello 👋 wou nog graag weet hoe oud moet jy wees on ń geweer te besit in SA is daar nie ń manier wat ń twaalf jaarige een kan besit nie
Die issue is mens moet 21 wees om n competency sertifikaat te kry voor jy nog by geweer lisensie kan uitkom. Dit is teoreties moontlik vir n 12 jarige om een te kan kry deur sport motiveering maar dit is vreeslik moeilik. Dis makliker om een van jou ouers te kry as die lisensie houer en die verantwoordlike persoon en dan gebruik jy dit net onder hulle toesig. (Iemand moet jou in elkgeval na en van die skiet byeenkomste vervoer, hulle kan netsowel saam kyk of saam skiet) omdat skiet ook noggal duur is sal dit ook moeilik wees om dit te finansier sonder massiewe ondersteuning van jou ouers.
right a do everything rifle probably a magnum cartridge a 300prc or a 300 norma mag, 300 win mag something along those lines wont be as good for say shooting 100m but when you want to shoot a mile plus your ready to go.
on the other hand in an apocalyspe situation will have to be a Scar in .308win with a nice scope on and on of those canted red dot. will be able to use that for everything
I’m a big fan of the smaller cartridge so if I had only one gun I’d have a Henry lever action 357 magnum. It’s a very odd choice considering there are so many good guns chambered in so many good cartridges but i like it and that’s what counts
BTW... love your content. Maybe a bit of a stretch on your question but your opinion of a 243 Savage. My fathers hunting gun choice... he was born in Montana, visited the cabin with his dad every weekend, bears, deer you name it but that was the gun he preferred. Been quite awhile ago I know... 1940's but even up to 1990's he hunted deer with the Savage. BTW he even carried a 1872 Schofield 45 pistol on his hip.
6.5 prc all the way
Great content. Keep up format
6.5 sherman short would be my go to cartridge. Shooting the 153.5 bergers it's a very versatile option.
For me... the .308 Win does it all reasonably well out of all the calibers I have.
6.5 x 55 Mauser on Vitavouhri N560 - 139 Lapua @ 2950fps
getting a swiss 91 and a browning fn in about 3 weeks
How available are BAT actions in SA and who imports them?
Kan jy dalk sometime info deel oor hoe die import/licensing proses werk as jy 'n roer import?
CZ 527 in 222 ok it's not got the horsepower to compete with the big boys but it's been very cheap and accurate I also shoot Parker hale safari in 3006 an have done ok in competition with it
300 wim mag in boswana is the best
260 Remington
The 308 gang winning this battle
Probably 270 Winchester. Great round for hunting and long range shooting.
would be a great video if you came to New Zealand and came shoot some species like tahr or chamois (love the vids)
I think we Americans would be interested in how SA gun laws work at lease I would be. For my one cal 6.5 creedmoor. Solid hunter proven prs shooter and works well in a AR platform. Excellent performance with hand loads and great factory options. My 2 cents. BTW great work you do love your content
Do you use a single stage or 2 stage trigger?
.243 win!!!💪🏼👍🏼
I'd go with a .308
Gotta say, nice MDT shirt you've got there. 😁😁 I happened to come across the exact same shirt in a shipment not to long ago. 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️😂😂😂 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
6.5x55 swedish
Hii piet
Can You plz tell us how the licensing works when you import a rifle
30-06 cz
300 wsm rimless case easy to find good loads
300 PRC custom build
If I could choose 1 only........old faithfull 270win....
30/06
i would like to see a video on how to change barrels, im from south africa too but im not quite sure how to go about changing a barrel, so it would be good info :)
308 With barrel life and ability to shoot 110 up to 200+ grains
Pieter, op jou tweede kanaal sien ek nog net 1 video, is daar iets fout aan my kant of is daar net een video tans op?
6.5 Creedmoor
Dagsê Piet
Sal jy 'n bull barrel of 'n standaard loop vir kompetisie skiet en jag aanbeveel?
300 winny for the win
7mm
I'd have to go with 6.5 Creedmoor, it dose every thing I've asked of it.
I recently considered buying the 300 WSM as my one and only. I thought the caliber will be good for hunting and long-range work at an affordable reloading rate. A combination of .308 and 6.5 Creedmore qualities, don't you think?
308 just because you can find it anywhere and it does the job
If I only had to take one bolt action rifle/caliber it would probably be a 308 Win. with the selection of projectiles out there, you could cover all the bases
Have a 308 but I think 338 Lapua
7mm - 08
7×64
Not sure if you still have your AR but I would love to see you get a 6.5 Grendel upper for it and provide your thoughts on it functionality for long range shots.
