300 Weatherby's were the rifles that Herb Klein and Elgin Gates used on their Marco Polo hunts.

7mm Weatherby Magnum 160 Accubond Long Range bullet.

The 280a The 280ai is an excellent cartridge. THE best sheep cartridge is Roy Weatherbys best, his 7mm Magnum. Less recoil and muzzle blast than the 300, optimum case capacity, velocity, energy, bullet weight.

Yes Tikka T3x 300 Win Mag. Read Ron Spomers Dissertation on the perfect Alaskan rifle. 20" barrel. Mag-Na-Ported in a Richard's Micro-Fit STRAIGHT LINE THUMBHOLE BASTONE WALNUT STOCK.

3 300 Weatherby Magnum with 200 gr.long range bullet.

Let me tell you something The 416 Remington Has a reputation of breaking extractors in the heat of Africa. More than one professional hunter It had it happened to their clients. The pressure is too high. Rem quit chambering the 416. It is available from the custom shop only. They install a SAKO...

I like something different Just think when you tell somebody you have a 400 Holland in Holland.

Watch Desert Dog Outdoors dissertation on the Remington 700 416.

Rem 700's extractors would break with the high pressure of the 416 in the heat of Africa. PH's had it happen regularly. The rifle wouldn't extract the rifle being useless. Rem quit chambering the 416 except in the custom shop. There they installed a SAKO EXTRACTOR and probably reinforced the stock.

I find the 300 Weatherby more versatile than the 338 with 180 or 200 gr. Premium controlled bullets for sheep, Caribou, goat and a 220 gr. Semi Spitzer Nosler Partition or Woodleigh 220 gr. Round Nose for the big stuff Moose and Bear. Barnes X bullets work well.

My 404 will not have a barrel any longer than 22 inch and maybe 21 in with at least a number five contour Barrel but maybe a five and a half barrel Contour. Rifle weighing at least Ten pounds maybe 10 and a half. Quarter rib Express sights.

I believe you're right but I would call it the Jeffrey. John Taylor in his book on African rifles said it has immense power, fully capable of any dangerous game in the world.

Those German 460s will have either a screw bead Mesquite or African Babinga stoc. Really Cool.

There's only one rifle cartridge for muskox and that's Roy weatherby's magnificent 378 Magnum you would shoot clear through the entire herd

How much for a rifle like that I'm guessing a hundred fifty to two hundred thousand dollars

I would add the second crossbolt, pillar and glass bed the action, epoxy four and a half inch Hickory Rod through the pistol grip and relieve the back of the tang. Then the rifle might stay together. Also epoxy or pin the floor plate shut. You don't want to lose your cartridges with DG.

Good working gun in Africa if it feeds reliably and Positively. The 400 gr. Spitzer bullet gives it more versatility especially in Alaska.

I find I carry the 300 Weatherby more than anything. With the light 24-inch Barrel it is no heavier than most 30 ought 6 s. I have 1000 more foot pounds of energy, a lot of authority in a relatively lightweight compact rifle.

My all-time favorite rifle cartridges are 270 Weatherby Magnum and the 300 Weatherby. I do have a 340 weatherby for Alaska.

Exactly what I do. I have seen them as short as 21 in. The muzzle flash is shocking and glorious!

Craig Boddington said the only action he has seen fail in field was a controlled round feed. His stopping rifle is a 458 Remington PUSH FEED. It's in his book African rifles. Btw a buffalo was charging at the time.

You're absolutely right. I wear plugs and muffs and I have still lost hearing due to the dam muzzle brakes. Should be not allowed at the rifle range. The kids like them on assault rifles because they look and sound cool.

Sullivan is an egomaniac, arrogant man. I heard he got a client killed. They took away his PH license. Two rifles 404 Nitro and 500/416 are my choice.

Weatherby stocks are a little too short. I had a 340 with an old Roberts high conb rollover with palm swell stock. I could shoot it all day. With the Weatherby stock I was pummeled. I mounted the scope almost as far forward as the back of the bolt.

Well said. I have been a Weatherby Mark 5 collector for 50 years. My favorite caliber is the 378. I have to agree I'm starting to restock the big guns 340,375, 378 with a straight comb stock. The 378 had a #4 heavy barrel in mesquite wood. It weighed 12 pounds. Recoil was managable.

A Hunter who had lived and Hunted in Africa all his life said for PG the 300 Holland (HxH) Magnum with a 200 gr. heavily controlled expansion bullet is perfect.The 300 HxH made its reputation with the 220 grain bullet I believe was a round nose. Recoil is acceptable by most everybody and the...

Yes the safeties on the German guns were made of a zinc alloy and had a tendency to fracture. I've seen four of them, as I have been a Weatherby Mark 5 collector for 50 years. Gunsmiths replaced them with a timney trigger. The Japanese Guns have an All steel trigger and were advertised as such.

Or even a custom 700 grain bullet. Velocity down sectional density up. It would shoot clear through an elephant lengthwise. A guy with African experience claimed that 600 and 700 grain bullets would put the 458 Magnums in a new dimension.

Absolutely correct. You have educated yourself. What a stopping rifle that would be.

Boddington the who wrote the book African rifles says that it's widely maligned in Africa by phh's the bullets do not give straight line penetration that said there is a professional Hunter said it was the deadliest cartridge he has seen on Buffalo Craig said he doesn't doubt that a bit the...

Craig boddington in his book African rifles claims it's widely maligned in Africa. Its velocity does not contribute to strait line penetration. That said, Craig knows a professional hunter who claims it's the deadliest rifle he's seen on buffalo. The times Craig has used it it was devastating.
