I used the 375 Ruger for Buffalo in Oz. Great gun and cartridge, but it was not the Guide Gun configuration.

My understanding of the forearm notch is to better settle when shooting from sticks.

My favorite No. 1

I have one of the Guide Guns in 300WM. I replaced the stock with a Hogue. Great rifle.

I had one in 45-70. Great rifle. Used it for black bear. Factory loads from buffalo bore. Not the super hot stuff. Fun rifle. I moved to a 9.3x73 and sold the Kodiak.

What airport are we flying in to?

Looks like we have a group of four. Is there a way to do a private chat with the group to see if we can find dates?

I'll ask around with some of my hunting friends locally as well. Can we keep an informal log of interest? I suspect the 4 hunter required might feel like a barrier, but, we can likely find four individuals here.

Solo hunter as well. Maybe we can organize an AH group? Interested in this hunt.

I have an Arctos in 30-06. It's my favorite all purpose rifle.

I have used both techniques for distant photos. The phone to scope method works great. The only downside is taking multiple pictures or using the phone to compose the shot. I prefer to not have the phone mounted to the scope. But my needs are likely different from many here.

If you want to have soft cases for your rifles while you hunt, the tuffpak is hard to beat. I also put clothing in mine and haven't had any problems so far. I think it's super easy to pack and only remotely looks like a rifle case. Very versatile.

PM sent on these and the 375 bullets

I believe it is a 1 in 8.75 twist. What bullets does the collective forum wisdom suggest? I hope to take delivery of one of these rifles next week. Eventually I will reload for it. I would also welcome suggestions for lead free bullets for this rifle. Thanks. Mike

Mine is at the ffl. I am super excited to see/shoot it. I have a nice vortex razor for it when it gets home. Any recommendations for general ammunition to roughly zero and get an idea about possible accuracy?

I will concur regarding Mr.X. He does a great job. I will use his services again for my next safari.

I have not used Gunsmoke Adventures, but I am planning a buffalo hunt through them. Contact me via pm for details.

I have used that round for elk at medium distances. It worked very well and had a trajectory similar to 30-06. I also used it for boar, again with excellent results.

PM sent on remaining boxes

Good deal. Brass arrived and is as described. Thanks.

Pm sent. Interested in the brass

Hill People Gear. I have one of their small, top loaders. They are built very well, reasonably priced, and the suspension system is very comfortable. I prefer fewer zippers on my backpack. Less chance of blowouts.

The one featured on GB listed above is the same model I have. If one can appreciate the appearance, it's a fantastic rifle and likely a bargain if it doesn't go much higher in price.

I have the ruger model the OP asked about. It's a fantastic gun for the money. I've managed many sub moa groups with Hornady 270 grain ammunition. The rifle is durable and has accounted for several nice animals in my freezer. The only complaint I have is subjective. I don't like the appearance...

Thanks for all the greetings. I'll likely be looking at a plains game hunt. Hopefully in the near future.

My name is Mike. I'm in Southern California. I'm excited to have found this forum. I'm looking forward to planning my first African hunt.
