Re: Got my first big bore rifle, interested in opinions / ad



Good day Brewman,

Your rifle is most probably one of the most popular "new" rifles purchased in South Africa, and many freelance PH's and game guides buy these ....... They are rough and I would suggest a bit of work on the feed ramp and clean up the Mag etc, etc, even have the action polished up a bit, but in essence you have a VERY!!!! functional tool with an action strong enough to handle almost anything you can shove down the chamber....

375 is considered entry level for DG, but only because it is the smallest in the range of DG calibers .... There is nothing wrong with it, I have used one extensivle for a fer years and although bigger is considered better you need to take a few things in-to consideration...the 375 was developed in 1912 by H&H and then it was entry level....now almost 100 years later there has been a huge improvememnt in Bullet make up and performance ...Bullets like GS-Custom and Barnes X compleatly change the rules.... 2750 fps being eisily obtainable from a 265gr bullet and now even 380gr bullets being developed for the 375 (and yes they will stabelise) so you can add at lest 40% improvement on the 375 from 1912..........

Your scope require no introduction to anyone .......it works, is reliable and does the Job....As for the stock, I dont like "Plastic" but own a few cause they are darn rite functional...

You have a perfect setup....
