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

thanks for your reply bob , is it feasible to build a 444 on a P14/M17 , or is the no4 enfield easier to build? i know where i can buy a lothar walther barrel in 44, 1-38 twist , but i think with a barrel crown of .650" the profile is too light .

I have quite a bit of 458 win mag brass, most of it new. How much are you looking for?
