3 of the 4 are new or new to me. Only 1 has seen service, but they are squared away and finally ready for the spoils of a good track (404J, 416 Rigby, 375HH, and snuck in a little 7x57)
I’m digging the 416, but they all look like they will hunt well for you.
Yes sir, that 416 is a veteran. I’ve no idea how many safaris it went on before me but it does have a track record for sure. Very accurate for a big gun.Yep, my eye went right to that dark, used stock too. It's beautiful and is telling a great story.

404 has Recknagel quick detach mounts with a Zeiss Diavari C 1.5x4.5....416 has claw mounts w/Zeiss Diavari C 1.5x4.5.... 375 wears Leupold quick detach post mounts with a Kahles 2x7.... 7x57 wears Leupold Mount with a Zeiss Diavari C 3x9. All Zeiss scopes are the West German models.Very nice collection!!
Just curious as to which scope and ring combinations you are planning to put on these rifles.
I actually have brass and bullets for a 505 in anticipation of that ! For now my 450#2 double is my big gun.All you need now is a .505 Gibbs and you’re set.
No sir I’ve not had any issuesI'm envious, what a collection! I'm hoping to pick up my first Big Game caliber bolt gun at HSC this weekend. Have you had any issues running the quick detach mounting options with your .375?
Fantastic looking lineup you got there! I'm curious to know the makers and models of each. I don't have a 404 or 416, but I sure do enjoy shooting 375 and 7x57.3 of the 4 are new or new to me.

Thank you very much. The 404 is a custom FN action build.... the 416 is a Dumoulin (Belgium maker) ....the 375 is a custom FN action build also... the 7x57 is a custom build on a VZ33 action.Fantastic looking lineup you got there!
