a rifle is when I hunt in a country that does not allow handguns. I hunt the Arctic Circle from time to time up in north eastern Canada in Quebec/Labrador where no handguns are allowed. In those situations I have used a custom Ruger #1 in 45-70 for my 2 caribou and a Drilling (3 barreled gun) in 9.3 X 74, 16 gauge and 22 Magnum. I took my 2 caribou with the 9.3, an Arctic Fox with the 22 Magnum and Ptarmigan with the 16 gauge.

If I hunt Australia and New Zealand again, due to their no handgun rules I will have to use a rifle but right now I have no idea which rifle I will use. I have 5 screws holding my right shoulder on so I will have to be very picky as to the caliber. I really like the 275 Rigby I built for Colleen for Africa but I will have to see when the time comes.
