    My first African hunt rifle question

    Velo Dog, You are a wealth of knowledge. Thank you again, lots of things to consider here. I plan on the express sights being mounted along with the optic. Thank you again,

    My first African hunt rifle question

    Thank you guys, I am used to first focal plane optics, is their a similar optic anyone has used in that magnification before or should I just go second focal plane?

    My first African hunt rifle question

    That is an excellent way to look at it thank you. I truly appreciate all the input from you guys. I ended up going to my local shop who luckily had a 375 Ruger guide gun with a 20" barrel. I then went and handled a standard rifle with a 25". After handling both I called and bought the 20". I...

    My first African hunt rifle question

    This forum is great, I have been reading up quite a bit but this is exactly the kind of info I am looking for. I am 6'3" so for me its more the handiness of 20 vs 25. Unfortunately I do not have the ability to handle the rifles beforehand. I have a savage long range hunter in 300 win mag, I...

    Gentleman, I am booking my first trip with my best friend to go to Africa. We are buying .375 H&H as our caliber of choice and to have the same ammo etc. I have a line on two rifles one is a cz550 custom with a 20" barrel glass bedded etc. the other is a 25" same glass bedding. The only...
