Howdy hunters

Welcome to AH!
 
welcome welcome welcome
 
Welcome aboard Pole Pole. What kind and caliber rifles did you use on your African hunts? What are you planning to use on your Bear hunt?
I am using a 1957 model 70 Winchester 300 H&H. Should be good for the smaller griz. Also, I think it would be fun to use a model 71 in 348
 
I have a Winchester Mod. 71 that was built in 1936. I wouldn't mind owning / getting a Winchester Super Thirty providing I could get it for a good price. The last pre 64 Mod 70 (30-06) that I bought had little if any use. I paid $850 for it at my "Local Gun Store." BTW the Mod. 71(s) have / had a good reputation amongst Alaskan bear hunters.

the 375 is on the small for buffalo. Granted you may not pancake one but a heart shot or double lung and you got your bull.

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
