    Ivy Safaris

    Thank you for all the welcomes. I currently own a 7x57mm Mauser and am in the process of buying a .303 British on a sporterised P14 action. Then I am contemplating on a .375 calibre, either H&H or Ruger. I think my inclination is toward the .375 Ruger. The shorter case and action appeals to me...
