How many .375 H&H's and/or .416's do you own and shoot?

Down to just one of each, sold my CZ .416 Rigby. Now I just have my Montana Rifle Company .416 Rigby and .375 Ruger Alaskan.
 
375's and 416's are easily among my favorite calibers. I've sold a few but currently have...

.375 Flanged Dakota 10
.375 H&H Sako
.375 H&H Champlin full custom
.375 Blaser R8

.416 Ruger
.416 Rigby Dakota 76
.416 Rem Blaser R8
Krieghoff 500/416 double

After that, I jump up in caliber to .458 Lott and various .50 calibers.
A man after my own heart
 
Well I only have
3 375HH BOLT ONE 375 HH DOUBLE
2 416 REM MAG
2 458 win mag
2 458 LOTT
1 450 ACKLEY
1 460 WBY
1 470 NE DOUBLE
I have been going to therapy but i missed my appts since they coincide with my african safari and other hunting opportunities LOL
I aspire to be able to write a similar list someday :)
 
I now officially own my first big bore. Only had time to snap a quick pic.

Nice...you might find the recoil pad is a little thin if you run healthy mag loads. They do climb a bit in recoil but hope you love it!

It's an older rifle so it's probably brittle. I am going to clean it up and consider refinishing it. In the process I'd probably add a new orange recoil pad.

I'm definitely anticipating this thing thumping quite a bit.
 
I remember the big bore Ruger #1's bouncing off the front rest on the bench. I always loved the look of the #1. Great rifles.

I guess it's probably good that I just got another sandbag for my sled...

Not sure your price range. Have a 375 H&H with a muzzle brake. Nice rifle only fired a few times. Also a Mossberg 375 Ruger its been used and shows a few hunts on it.
Two African Safaris Hunted South Africa both times,
9 game animals taken
Has anybody hunted with Phumba safari in steenbokpan south Africa?
