Man, my wife may be snooping on here. I’m out. .


Suffice it to say too many.

Open up a "gofundme" account, and I'll pitch in a few bucks!

I have a Winchester M70 Safari Express in 375 H&H, a CZ 550 in 375 H&H and a third 375 H&H, which is also a Winchester M70. The action from that rifle will be used in a 416 Remington build. And I also have a CZ 550 that has been re-barreled to 404 Jeffery. Some might say this indicates some type of problem, I just say it gives me options.

 

[7mmFan]

One 375 h&h
One 375 Ruger
But I want something bigger.

 

[Ruraldoc]

One 375 Whitworth Mauser
One 375 Model 70 Alaskan
One 416 Model 70 Safari Express

Also have one Brno ZKK 602 in 458

Had a CZ 550 in 416 Rigby but sold it for a reason that escapes me at present.

 

[Wyatt Smith]

1 CZ 550 in 375, 0 416s.

I had an Interarms Mark X in 375 for a hot minute, then I sold it to @TX_GreatPlains. I'm pretty sure it was in his safe for even less time than it was in mine. I'm afraid we both have the dreaded trading disease.

I'm still keeping an eye out for a 458 WM or Lott, but I'm in no hurry there.

I hate to ask but thought this crowd would have a logical answer to why someone needs more than a couple. I have a herd and it is growing.... Tell me....

I buy what I need.
So, I have one 375 HH.
Have no need for something bigger in my present inventory.

Repetitive hunts on DG might bring a person in need of more of the big guns.
Those are also expensive hunts, so, in general, I think that DG market and DG gun owner market is shrinking. So, owning one DG rifle, is already above average.

I know personally from my circle of acquittances, only one person that owns one 375 HH. I am the second person.

I am planning to hunt DG, but I dont think it will be more then few in my wildest dreams. Possibly two.
Many will not buy a gun just for one or two animals in a lifetime.

Considering I'm not going on safari I have more than I'll ever need. But I like the fun of shooting the biguns so I have more of them than I need. As I tell my wife "At least I didn't spend the money on drug right????"

 

[Ryeboy86]

I don't have a DG or big bore rifle yet.. But I'd LOVE to see some pictures of some of the rifles you guy's have!

2 x 458WM (1 Pre64, 1 Post-64 CRF)

Sold a pair of BRNO 602's with the hide-away peep sights (.375 and .458WM) a few months ago, as well as a Pre64 Transition M70 .375.

If anyone knows of a clean Pre-War M70 in .375 I'm looking ....

“Logical” and “Needs” have no place when discussing gun purchases. You need to go somewhere else with that kind of negativity. Lol.

I have one 375 fiberglass stock stainless for hunting in Africa to Alaska

I have one beautiful Cooper 54 in 416 Rem Mag. Beautiful wood stock traditional African safari rifle.

My lion and elephant hunting days are over so my 416 is pretty much like a beautiful piece of furniture to decorate your gun safe.

 

[uplander01]

Too many.
