Ok probably last update before we fly out. Again guys thank you for all the advice. Just took the rifle out. Cooper told me they ran 25 rounds through the gun. I cleaned the barrel then shot 15 more rounds through her. No problems with the bolt trigger, iron sites ect ect. Here are my last 3...

Just my 2 cents Jennifer. Follow the law where ever you are going to hunt. But I just don't understand why a .375 is forced upon hunters as the legal minimum to shoot a 180 pound thin skinned cat. I know they are vicious and all but a Leopard can be taken with a .270, .280, 7mm & 30.06 easily...

Honestly I use a .325 wsm for all African plains game and Ive had ALL one shot 1 kills with it. Personally I think it may be "too much" gun. I shoot Winchester Accubonds 200 grain. The 325 wsm is the answer for whats between the 300 win mag and 338. That being said my PH uses a 308 and has...

Ok guys UPDATE. Just got the gun back Friday from Cooper. I sent it over night Friday, they sent it back the following Friday they paid for everything. Now as it stands I spoke directly with the smith that worked on this rifle. He apologized again over and over. He assured me that the only way...

I dont know if you guys remember. But I made a post here around October 2016 asking about Big 5 calibers. 416 vs 375 is what I narrowed it down to. I ultimately select the 416 Rem mag. I have a Lion hunt coming up in 2 weeks. Lion, Kudu, Black Wildabeest and Warthog. Ill be using my .325 wsm...

Guys THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!! I've decided I'm going with....drum roll...................................................... 416 Rem Mag. Here's why, I said before I have no interest in hunting elephant. But I do and will have Buffalo on my bucket list. I'm only 43 years old and I'm...

Man thanks I guess that sucks for me I sure have a lioness hunt planned. I'm already excited for that and the Kudu hunt! Thanks for the info I'm sure Ill be asking you some stuff later. BTW be honest with me does your 416 kick like hell? I'm really close to buy the Kimber Caprivi 416 Rem mag. I...

Gentlemen thank you for your advice, Ive read each of these replies. I live in the Carolinas and love to hunt. I'm leaning heavily now to the 375 simply because of the advice here and because I really have no desire to hunt elephants or hippo. I want 3 cats, male lion, lioness and leopard. Next...
