Not in hand yet, but on its way from Accurate Innovations. Wes sent me some pictures yesterday. I picked up this SC production 375 H&H Safari Express a few years ago and hadn't done much with it. Decided to spruce it up with a nice stick of English. Found something on the AI web site that tickled my fancy and gave Wes a call. Checkering pattern is a custom one to match my 404J and the cross bolts are, of course, faux, but I think it completes the look.

:Facepalm:Well, I posted this in the wrong forum and can't see that I can move it. Could one of the moderators move it to the 375 and up forum please?
 
Looks great, AI does a great job from what I've been hearing.
 
Beauty! No one easier to work with than Wes.
 
That sir is a nice looking rifle. Out of curiosity, why "faux" cross bolts?

The AI stocks use an aluminum bedding block so there is no need for actual cross bolts. I suppose you could put them in, but it would be two belts and three pair of suspenders.
 
Thanks, agreed. You can't tell a book by its' cover.

Is this wood you supplied or some they sold you!
 
Congrats on your "new" rifle, looks outstanding.

Accurate Innovations does some incredible work.
I have three rifles currently that have A.I stocks on them and I love them.

Lots of people look at me sideways when I tell them my .500 MDM weighs only 8.5lbs, as does my .458 Lott, but as they are both stocked in A.I stocks that fit me to a tee both rifles are pleasantly manageable to shoot AND carry.
 
Lovely stick of wood that has made into a beautiful rifle.
