Need a new custom for Africa!

[Tex .416]

First take a look at the customs on Gunsinternational. The second hand prices are shockingly low on some beautiful custom rifles, many of which appear in new condition.

Customs in .30-06 and .300 Win Mag are common and fairly reasonably priced for the quality.

275 Rigby or 300 H&H would be my 2 choices to decide between, prob pick the 275 Rigby. Anxious to hear what you decide upon!

 

[RedTag]

.300 H&H Magnum for the win!
That said, .30-06 is never a mistake.

 

[Old3Toe]

That's an easy answer. Without hesitation or reservation, 7x57. The harder choices are barrel length, open sight/scope and stock configurations.

 

[318AE]

I have, hunt with and reload for a 275 Rigby, 300 H&H, 318 WR, 333 Jeffery, and 350 Rigby, each by their eponymous maker.

While the 318s are my favorite, the 275, 300 and 350 have much better bullet choices. Given Rigby has reintroduced the 350, and 358 bullets are plentiful, I think that would make a great choice. A 250gr 358 a-frame or similar at Aussie level 35 Whelen velocity is a lot of mojo.
