Thoughts on Kimber Caprivi .375

IvW said:

Do hunters still buy new 460 Weatherby's or used ones for that matter?

For Cape Buffalo and Grizzly the 375 H&H is probably an excellent choice.......

Of course it is! I am a great fan of the 375 H&H.......especially when people who know what they are talking about load and use it to it's maximum lethality.

I only offer my opinion on situations that I have personally experienced and will say that when attempting to kill anything that can be deadly my choice is the 458 over the 375 any day of the week on any continent.

My ultimate choice would be the 460 as it crushes whatever it hits.

I have yet to ever hear anyone who is in harms way curse the 460 and ask God to put a 375 in their hands instead.

Choose whatever suits your capabilities.

I really like my Caprivi. Mine is chambered in 458 Lott. Little on the light side for a Lott but still not bad to shoot. Only problem I have is when I shoot with the express sights, I can’t get my fat face down without some trying. But with a scope it is perfect. It shoots well.

Does anyone know if Caprivi is still available in .4 calibers? I was told by a local distributor that they are no longer available in Europe in anything above 375.

I’m still looking for one in 375HH. They are 8-12 weeks out at the factory. I asked my dealer if they would ask for a nice smoke and Carmel stock since they order by phone. The Kimber guy on the other end said you get what you get

I thought that was kind of shitty considering what these things cost.

Call corporate and explain that their customer service representative sucks. I was about 10 minutes away from flying to Kalispell Montana and stuffing a caprivi up someone’s ass after they ruined my stock. A couple of emails and a phone call later corrected the situation. The market on the Caprivi is pretty Niche and the minions at the lower level don’t quite understand that it isn’t a 1911 they are selling. Upper management is very receptive and gave me wonderful resolution

that’s sound advice I think I will take you up on if I order from the factory.

what do you guys think of the one on GB right now. The stock is kind of plain compared to some others I have seen and especially @Aussie_Hunter new one.....that’s got a nice stock by the way.

Ha I do too! I have 2 rifles I’m looking at and will probably pull the trigger today.....see what I did there.

The Caprivi and an AHR 550 is what I have it narrowed down to.
