Confusing.
I thought Kevin asked Tundra Tiger what the rifle was.
Yes I was wrong. 798 is what I meant, 788 is the new budget line Remington.

I have seen one 798 in .375 I'm not sure they are doing these anymore but I was told they are a Zastava maybe CRF action polished and assembled by Remington.

Oops, Once again I got confused, I really need to reread these threads before posting, must be the jet lag. Kevin was asking Tundra Tiger about his rifle and some how had me thinking Kevin was asking about my rifle.

I'm pretty sure Tundra Tiger and I were chatting about our hunts as we waited for our plane ride from JNB to Doha and he described his various first time Africa hunts using his 45-70.

Tundra Tiger's hunting report should be very interesting reading.

PH said that between 16-17”. One of the biggest shot in that area.

Yes I was thinking around the 16in+, bloody awesome & once in a lifetime that Boar that .

I have seen two in that league & had bad luck both times, once on the side of the main Highway in Namibia & once again in South Africa after a hunt & I put the rifle away as just heading onto the Highway, both times I was heart broken.

He looks in good nick in the photos, the ones I saw this size looked like melted wax over a bone frame, they were so old & worn !

Congrats again !

First Warthog. Have never measured him but he sure was fun to go after! Took him with my 7mm RUM and Barnes 160 gr TSX hand loads.

Didn’t know if I was going to get a chance at a decent wart hog. Grass was so high and those fast suckers were no cooperating. Saw a giant briefly and could never catch up to get a shot. But I am very pleased with this old and very fat boy.
