I’m referring to heeren single shot actions. I understand Martini worked with Hagn actions and H&W worked with both.

Can’t wait to see it finished!

@Muskox, I thought Hartmann & Weiss and Dorleac and Dorleac used older actions. Hartmann & Weiss has reportedly manufactured them, but their website is down. On the Dorleac and Dorleac webpage they indicate they use heeren actions "originally made by Nagel and Menz, Stefan Heym or Outschar..." I...

Heeren falling block please

And if you reload, I recommend the North Fork 400gr semi spitzer and cup point solid.

I used a 416 Rigby for my first and only Cape Buffalo to date. If I had unlimited funds and was able to build / find one, I might take a 404 Jeffery, but I would be very happy to take the 416 again.

@Phil Giordano Yes! I went down a rabbit hole theoretically building a 7x66 Vom Hofe SE, but it just didn't seem anywhere near realistic. But what a cartridge, super fast, accurate, a killer name and connected to 300 H&H via it's predecessor the 7x73.

Nostalgia yes, but performance first. Using a 300 H&H for plains game in Africa ticked both boxes. 300 H&H is not dead, but it is on life support. Just look at those beauties, Norma brass stuffed with Vihtavuori powder and Northfork semi spitzers.

Forster Co-Ax press with the the big boy shell holder plate. Very smooth and positive... every case.

Welcome. All the game I ate in South Africa was good, but Eland was the best. You'll enjoy it, especially when you've harvested it.

Wonderful little video @Just a dude in BC

@RLD, welcome to AH. There's lots of good info and good guys here. Which coast are you closer to? You should consider taking your own firearms to Africa, it's not that hard, you just need good info and you will always have that experience to remember when you look at those rifles. Cheers

Ya, that first piece of lumber is the choice I would make... from that selection. It's going to make your Oberndorf look amazing! I can't wait to see it! Now if everyone wants to see another piece of wood that is going on the brother Oberndorf, they should pop over to 'Oberndorf Goodness' :giggle:

So, I found a piece of wood that will go on my Oberndorf. I’m getting excited about this project again!

Point taken. Good info.
