375 H&H my journey begins

Recoil was far less than I anticipated.




That's been my experience. The recoil of every rifle that I've fired, up to 458 Win Mag has been oversold. Not that the 375, 404 & 458 didn't get your attention when they fired, but it was always less than the devastating blow that experts had advertised.
 
For anyone interested I got a front sight hood straight from zastava online for about $11 shipped
Didn't need it but wanted one for original look. Not sure if it's the same but it fits.
 
yeah i found 375 handh to be fine, havent shot a .404 yet, id say 458 winmag is where recoil becomes a factor, you know its big... but its not insane, demands respect.
458lott gets pretty punishing... and you go from there

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks

hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
