DPhil., it looks like there is a Hagn in my future. I am to the point in my life that one or two perfect rifles are preferable to the vault full of factory jobs.

My only real decision at this point is caliber. Its going to get used daily for maybe 10 years before I go to Africa and I had hoped that I could do a 9lb 375 Holland that would end with me kiilling a Cape Buffalo with it. I've been shooting a .375 Ruger #1 and even with reduced loads the recoil is a bit much. So I may end up with a 300 Win. and hunt plains game. I just don't know yet.

I am going to make the ACGG show in Reno in Jan. and try to make some decisions. I've been corresponding with Steve Hughes on the rifle and it looks like we may come to an agreement.

Any input that you more experienced guys have I would appreciate.

Thanks,
S
