Thanks ovny and bigmaxx. I'm reboring my 375 H&H to 470 Capstick and shortening the barrel to 22" which should be about the same recoil as the Lott. The 470 Capstick shoots a 500g bullet at 2400 fps out of a 26" barrel so should be about 2300 fps full bore out of my 22" barrel. I have the same scope as you do bigmaxx with Talley QR rings. My 470 Capstick should weigh in at 9.5 lbs without scope/rings and 10.5 lbs with. I can always add weight if recoil is a bit too much. I'm still a few years away from my first African DG safari, but the rifle should be something on elk, and mule deer here in Colorado until then...



Thanks much,

Chuck
