Planning a trip to Africa. This site has been a great help
I have been a tremendous fan of the .375 H&H since my early 20's when I bought my first. I have used it on whitetails and mule deer and black bear.
I recently purchased a used custom .416 Rigby built on a Dakota action that I am trying to get sorted for Africa. I would like to hunt Cape buff. and elephant, hence I thought the step up was a good one.
I am also working on a Legendary Arms Works model 704 that I purchased in the white with an unfinished synthetic stock blank. The Dakota is the first rifle I've owned that fit me. It has a LOP of 15". LAW doesn't offer LOP as an option. That is why I opted to finish the 704 myself as much as possible. It is 7mm08.
I am at an age at 53 that I am looking at a deer gun smaller than my .375.
Today I worked on the stock and a bolt knob on the 704. The bolt knob furnished was not checkered. I prefer one that is. I have a couple pics in "other" but can't post here apparently. Oh well, I tried. Might try pics in another thread tomorrow.
Thanks,
KEJ
