Several months ago I posted about the Mauser M98 125th Anniversary No. 6 rifle in 8x57. Below is the No. 1 rifle in 375 H&H which I picked up at the same time. My dream is to one day take both rifles to Africa for buffalo and plains game.

That case hardening is really something! I hope you get much enjoyment from them both.
 
Beautiful and exquisite! Not sure I would take hunting though, just too nice!
 
I am not always a fan of case hardening. I’m a HUGE fan of that case! Beautifully done!
 
Very very nice! Well done !
 
I like the CC action, and the timber is also very nice.
 
That’s a real work of art! Please take it to Africa and let it fulfill its purpose in life!
 
WOW, I'm speechless. Congrats, and yes take her to Africa.
 
That's a beauty
 
Beautiful gun. You can hunt a lot of buffaloes with the value of that gun ;)

Jokes aside, hope you take her on a proper journey when the time is due.

Thanks for sharing.
 
Holy Sh*t, that is a nice rifle. I would be afraid to take that out of the box.
 
Lovely! Now quit buying those things and book a hunt with a great outfitter.

I agree. Take those beauties, contact Leon DuPlessis in Zim and hunt for your buffalo and plains game!

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 .
