Although I don't own one, I really like what I read about the old .358 Win. Most of the outdoor writers write favorable articles about it and my reloading manuals have some pretty good numbers for it. I think it would be an excellent brush gun, and most likely will be my next purchase.

I beleive any exceptionaly accurate boltaction rifle is an excellent brush gun.
With many of the 7mm being some of the best, because they don't rise as much as a 30 caliber.
So you can shoot between limb's, branches, small openings and what ever better, due to "flatter" trajectory.

Now I didn't say through limbs and branches I said between them...A.H
