Welcome aboard!
 
raytraps, after reading about your previous hunts and the rifles you own, I'd have to say that you are pretty well set. I too have a push feed 375 H&H and was hesitant to take it to Africa as well. Be patient, a suitable CRF will show up. Please be advised that some but not all CZ 550(s) have had feeding problems. Those problems can best be sorted out by a knowledgeable gunsmith, although a few folks have done it themselves. Keep your eyes open for a BRNO ZKK 602 in 375 H&H as well. They were the precursor to the CZ 550(s.)

Thank you for the info. I am also considering a kimber 8400 caprivi. Do you have any thoughts on the Kimber? Thanks again
 
Hello raytraps,

Khomas Highland Hunting Safaris of Namibia, welcomes you to the greatest forum on earth.

I too am a fan of the .375 H&H cartridge, as well as the CZ 550 Magnum rifle, the Brno 602 Magnum, the Whitworth Express Mauser and the controlled round / Mauser type, powerful extractor versions of the Winchester Model 70.
Also, if I could afford to spend $10,000.us upward, I would love a genuine Oberndorf Square Bridge Magnum Mauser Model ‘98, in .375 H&H, claw mounted with an Austro-German, 4X scope.
Or, I would settle for a Brevex Mauser of the same lines and specs………
Oh well.

Last but not least, I wish I could comment on the Kimber Caprivi rifles.
They look pretty good, both in pictures and I did see one in person one time, in a sporting goods store, many years ago.
But alas, I have no experience with any Kimber rifle and I do not even know anyone who has one.

Best Regards,
Velo Dog.

Welcome aboard. I’ve seen a few 375s in CZs and a Zastava on gunbroker lately, you might want to check there.
I also hunted out of Ivory Camp with Omjevee last year. When were you there? I was there in late September. Great place and lots and lots of game.

I was there in mid July. I loved it and am going back on the 6th of July to the 1st. of August.

Thank you for the information. My PH had a Kimber which I hunted with. It worked well but this year I want to take my own rifle. I have a Christensen 375 but I think I want a controlled feed which the Christensen is not.

You’re welcome.
When you get time, have a peep at:

www.gunsinternational.com

Use the search feature and just type in:

.375 H&H

There will be many to choose from and the list is updated daily.
Cheers.
 
Welcome to the posting side. Enjoy.

I'm unfortunately on a diet. Presently in VA hospital as Agent Orange finally caught up with me. Cancer and I no longer can speak. If all goes well I'll be out of here and back home in Thailand by end of July. Tough road but I'm a tough old guy. I'll make it that hunt.

Nice one there. I guided for mulies and elk for about 10 or so years in northern New Mexico.

Business is the only way to fly. I'm headed to SA August 25. I'm hoping that business isn't an arm and a leg. If you don't mind, what airline and the cost for your trip. Mine will be convoluted. I'll be flying into the states to pick up my 416 Rigby as Thailand doesn't allow firearms (pay no attention to the daily shootings and killings) so I'll have 2 very long trips.
