After humming and hawing over buying a double, I decided to put alittle money into my old .375H&H Sako magnum Mauser to keep me happy and my mind off spending more money.
A local gunsmith installed a lovely red recoil pad, they scream safari and adventure to me, he had the rifle apart. The wood was cracked near the trigger inside and he did a cross bolt and glassed it for strength. He stripped and sanded and redid the finish.
And doing so, it reveiled a beautiful grain pattern inside the stock. We also figured warne bases would still allow use of the iron sights. I mounted a beauty leupold 2.5-8x36mm on QD rings.
Absolutely love the feel and look of this rifle. Need to find a buff hunt now in one of the wilder countries
