Nice rifles, but I think a few unrelated pics snuck into your first listing. GLWS !

Awesome hunt, beautiful leopard, thanks for sharing !

As HogPatrol said, PacNor offers this chambering and barrel, so that is your "easy button." I have had PacNor rebarrel a rifle and am very happy with their work. Send barreled action to them, $675.00 and you will have a .318 WR barreled action.

Absolutely gorgeous ! All three are, and a great set of rifles for anything on earth.

Love this thread, I had my buff hide tanned in Namibia and shipped to me, as of yet I havent decided what to do with it. It is a huge chunk of beautiful leather, naturally grey in color, soft and supple but thick. Getting some ideas.

3d printed, interesting, hadnt thought of that.

You are probably aware, but if using a P14 bolt and a 1917 barrel, some small mods will have to be done to either the bolt or breech, the 1917 breech is coned, P14 is flat. Not a big deal. Also if using a P14 extractor with 1917 barrel the extractor cut in breech needs to be altered as well.

The windage adjustable rear rings are not a strictly Leupold design, in fact I believe Redfield first made them before Leupold. They are far from my favorite design, and not well suited for heavy scopes on rifles with heavy recoil. Dont judge all Leupold rings and bases by this design. I am a...

Interesting that the .375 RSM has a 4 round magazine, while the .458 Lott only has three. Too constricted at front of box apparently, being case heads are the same diameter.

Not a 77, but Leupold rings are my preference on Ruger No 1s, never an issue.

Here is a link to a thread describing my Remington 30 Express .375 H&H project. Mainly posting it here because it details what I did to alter magazine and action to magnum length cartridges. https://www.africahunting.com/threads/the-rifle-remington-should-have-made-30-express-375-h-h.100378/

I found some pictures. Here is a 375 H&H round next to the stock 30 Express magazine box and the Magnum length P14 box. As you are aware if you have a 1917 box, the ends are heavy steel and reduce the length of the box front and rear by being riveted inside the sidewalls. These mag boxes are...

I did not shorten or alter the bolt stop in any way. I also did not have to cut the feedramp forward of the cut for the factory magazine box feed ramp. I used a magnum length P14 box I found on Ebay, they are hard to come by now though. My receiver rails were already altered for the 300 Win Mag...

Another vote for Diamond D guides choice chest holster. I have one for my 2.75" S&W 69. It is just an awesome holster. The strap that goes around back is easily adjustable for different clothing layers and or sizes of people.

Awesome hunt, thanks for sharing ! Some great animals ! I am headed to Namibia in July for buff and Elephant, will be going through Windhoek. Can you elaborate on the visa process you mentioned ? Did you have your Visas beforehand or acquire them during customs processing at the airport ?
