Thank you. I do not think I've ever owned a gun with prettier wood. And there is just something about the G33/40 that I love as well. I had to pry this one away from a buddy.

I usually take a 300 win mag for PG and either 375 or 416 for DG. I've never regretted that combo.

Hi everyone,
This would be my 2-rifle battery, and I would have every confidence hunting anywhere in the world with them...
Top. Custom Zastava built by NT Firearms Gove in 425 Express, fitted with a Leupold VXII 1-4 scope.
Bottom. Weatherby Vanguard in .300 Winchester Magnum, fitted with a Bell & Carlson synthetic stock and a Nikko Stirling 'Platinum Nighteater' 3-10x42.
On left is the 425 Express loaded with 360gn Atomic29 projectile, and on the right is a factory Winchester .300 Win Mag loaded with 180gn Power-Point.

My two-gun battery would be 2 out of these
… depending on what is on the menu and where we are going
Blaser S2… one 470NE and one 9.3x74r… barrel interchangeable so should count as ONE rifle
Husqvarna Custom 338 WM… love this rifle for some odd reason.
Sauer 202 9.3x62 (also have barrels in 223, 308, 3006 ) technically also only ONE rifle…

May I ask where you got your cartridge case for your belt?

I'm a one rifle for travel hunting guy, but I do bring two different cartridges. Does that count? Blaser R8 (top rifle) in 375H&H with Barnes 300 grain TSX and Woodleigh 300 grain Hydro for smaller stuff and whenever the PH asks me to load them.
If I take two rifles, it's because my bride is hunting as well. Hers the wood stocked gem in 300WM. Although she has a new 17mm barrel on it now.

Hello,
Am I reading your post correctly to say that the Tsavo rifle will be coming out with a composite stock later this year? I ask because I had been looking very hard for a Tsavo, but if there is going to be a composite stock model I will wait for that.
Thank you for your time,
Andrew

Saw your post. Nice. Denver too. Genesee area (just off 70) if ever up this way. Alternatively, do you have a membership at GGC? Whatever, you'll have a wonderful time in Africa. Enjoy.
