How about 257 Roberts?
Soft shooting, won't be too hard on the shoulder, all deer legal in all UK areas... I really like mine...

Just had a look at your ad - you're giving it away!
No deer ever was embarrassed at being killed by a "lowly" Parker Hale.
I agree! It looks to be a really nice rifle, and at that price it's a complete steal. I'd definitely prefer to keep it and re-barrel it if it were mine
I've got a 270.
I only found out after a test shot it was a 270, it was super light recoiling. .
Eddie you must be the perfect bloke to have a shot out of my 505 Gibbs bolt rifle.
I see it now "here Ed have a shot out of my old bolt rifle"
I genuinely don’t think anyone has ever shot out a Gibbs, or anything above a 404J

Definitely . I always get a chuckle when I see large bore rifles for sale here . Usually the ads run the same " Great shape , low round count and will include a partial box of ammo " lol . Everyone likes the idea of a 40 cal and up rifle ......... until they shoot them . As the saying goes " Many are called , few are chosen ".
I've seen exactly one big bore that was used up , an older Ruger M 77 ( tang safety ) Tropical in 458 WM . It belonged to a friend of mines father who guided in BC and Alberta for Coastal Browns and Interior Grizzly for many years . The only reason it was wore out was because he only carried one rifle due to weight and space restrictions ( light aircraft ) . Being the practical man that he was , he shot everything with it , including Grouse and Rabbits with reduced velocity hard cast lead bullets . He shot that rifle on a continuous basis and was one of the best game shots I've ever known . Guys like George are a rapidly vanishing breed , he's been gone for about 10 years now ............ My apologies , old guy ramble .

The Weatherby family of big bores are particularly obnoxious . First off , they don't fit me , secondly , Weatherby always has to push their rounds a few feet per second higher than everyone else . As bad as I found the 460 though , I thought the 378 WM was even worse . The recoil impulse seems to come back a lot faster , it might be just me though . I'll stick to the H&H version , nothing has walked away unscathed so far .
