Interesting, I've never actually seen a rifle chambered for 400H&H or commercial ammo for it. That's one of H&H's newer inventions right?
 
.375 zkk brno for long shots upto 200m
.458 Lott Heym martini ( my new gun crush) for general hunting of all big game
.505 on a long action like GMA or Heym ultra / genuine Mauser magnum for big elephants when things get naughty!

Yes, I see it as a bolt action, slightly souped-up, 450/400
 
.375 H&H bolt gun with 2-10 x scope
.458 Lott bolt gun with low power 1-6x variable scope. A .450 Rigby would have been much more stylish but much less magazine capacity for little gain.
.500 Nitro in a double with small neat red dot ( aging eyes :cry:… would have loved to say express sights)
 
.375 (H&H, Wby, Ruger): Street legal for DG everywhere
.458 Lott: Readily available and getting into stopping rifle class.
These two are all you need but….
.450/.400: If adding a double

Thanks greatly! I'm leaving for the holidays so won't be around until 8 December. If that works I'll be appreciative. Address is [redacted].

Sir, I think I have been writing to you about the purchase of the HK 639 rifle under an email "Tt Jake." If this is you, then I am truly interested. I am just trying to verify identify. Tt Jake is asking for a cash transaction. No disrespect intended, Just trying to verify who I am talking to. Thank you. Respectfully. Dan

Hey my friend, I am returning to SA for a Cape Buffalo hunt in June 26. My outfitter has suggested Highveld but I have read some poor reports. Wondering how satisfied you were with your mounts from them? Thanks in advance.
