Bought me a Krieghoff Classic in Caliber 470 NE

Beautiful. Use it well.
 
It`s a little difference between 375 H&H Mag and 470 NItro Express

Very nice rifle!

I've said it before - am sure this website is the ONLY place where we start to believe that a 375H&H is a small caliber:LOL:
 
Beautiful rifle! My K-gun is in .470 and shoots very well. You will enjoy your rifle I’m certain.

Yep took a 375 to the range yesterday and many were asking what that “thing” was. One guy asked for a spent cartridge to add to his collection!
 
May your rifle shoot as good as it looks!
Yes it shoots very accurate, 75Yards I shoot groups at 1,5" and with my Aimpoint even tighter 1" are normal.
The recoil is heavy, but absolutely manageable.
I ned to lenghten the stock with 1 " and I am going to make a Pachmayr Deccelerator for this rifle.
 
As a poker player would say "that is a pair to draw to." Enjoy them my friend. BTW you know that you are making us all jealous.

Nearly every time my wife and I go to the range to shoot someone comes over and asks "What the hell are you shooting?"
It's just my 375H&H and I explain that this is a mid-bore rifle (IMO).
Kinda funny to see them look at a spent casing that is the same size as their loaded 308 or dwarfs their 223's.

Beautiful rifle you have there.
Hope to eventually join the ranks of the "big bores" and maybe even a double.
Cheers.
 
2 months ago I bought a Krieghoff Classic Big Five in cal 375 H&H Mag, this is a very fine rifle, and I used it on my hunt in South Africa last week.
Shot Buffalo cow and 2 Bushbucks.

I also ordered an extra barrel in cal 470 NE. A little while ago I came over this Double rifle, also a Krieghoff Classic Big Five in cal 470 NE.
I bought this and cancelled my extra barell.
Here is some photos of the rifle:

I really enjoy "variations" .. as it can be difficult to picture an end result sometimes on a custom build.
I think, this is my favorite K. for what it's worth ..
 
great gun
great caliber.
.470 Nitro Express was created by Joseph Lang/UK, in 1907.
And "we" use it over 100 years.
Some things cannot be improved.
Envy yourself

Like the 7X57, the 9.3X62, 375H&H, 416 Rigby, 404 Jeffery, and more; all over a century old, and still going strong!!

Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
To much to political shit, to little Africa :-)
Spending a few years hunting out west then back to Africa!

Hello. If you haven't already sold this rifle then I will purchase. Please advise. Thank you.

I doubt you are interested in any trades but I was getting ready to list a Sauer 404 3 barrel set in the 10-12 price range if your interested. It has the 404J, 30-06 and 6.5 Creedmoor barrel. Only the 30-06 had been shot and it has 7 rounds through it as I was working on breaking the barrel in. It also has both the synthetic thumbhole stock and somewhere between grade 3-5 non thumbhole stock
