Have our first safari booked for 2019. My daughter and I will be hunting plains game and a lioness. I bought a ruger m77 in 375 ruger a couple years ago for a buffalo hunt in ozzy that did not work out. I bought it because of the muzzle brake so my daughter could shoot it. She was 10 at the time and shot it with no problem. Ended up selling it. Looking for another rifle now for this hunt. She might be shooting it as well. Just depends on how much we can save up before the hunt. She is tall and in good shape. Boxes and into mma and does not seem to mind getting hit in the face.
I have always wanted a 404 Jeffreys. I like the history and the name is pretty cool. It seems pretty hard to find one for sale. Am I better off just picking up a CZ in 375 h&h or spending more and getting a 404? would like to hunt tuskless elephant and buffalo someday. But with more recoil I worry about her shooting it. Don't know how well that Mercury recoil reducers work?
Sorry for the long post. Just trying to give out some info along with the question. Any advice or ideas would be great. New at this kind of hunting.
