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!!

Nugget here. A guide gave me the nickname as I looked similar to Nugent at the time. Hunting for over 50 years yet I am new to hunting in another country and its inherent game species. I plan to do archery. I have not yet ruled out the long iron as a tag-along for a stalk. I am still deciding on a short list of game. Not a marksman but better than average with powder and string.
