New Comer from the horizon!!!

Welcome to AH! It is a great site, glad to have you here.
 
Welcome! I am also an inexperienced hunter and I don't know if I will ever make it to Africa, but I have learned a lot here and I just bought my first Safari caliber rifle from the classifieds.
Do you mind telling me which one you bought! I believe you are located in louisana right? It's so bad the situation for hunting in Southern California there are not too many animals to hunt.
 
Winchester Model 70 Safari Express in 375 H&H Magnum. I am just north of New Orleans.
It's a beautiful rifle, I always wanted to have a 375 caliber but the recoil may be too strong for me. Have you tried it and what's the difference to compare with the 308 on recoil! I remember the 300 win is almost 2 times more recoil than the 308 don't even say the 3.75!!
Some one says the 375 is overkill in North America is it true?

I have not received my 375 H&H yet, but from all I have read you'll know the gun has gone off when you pull the trigger, but it is not punishing or sharp. More of a hard push. It also depends on your tolerance for recoil, but most shooters can shoot the 375 H&H with competence (at least based on what I read). The 375 H&H has such versatility and be downloaded or uploaded to suit almost any hunting needs around the world. I am sure others will pitch in on that note.

Sorry the late reply, it's a busy day today!
Thanks for the 375 hh inf! looks like if I have chance I may get one to try! Hope it's not too bad for me.
 
Hi, I'm so happy to become a member of the AH !! I'm from LA Ca , so excited just got my hunting license and try to sell my ddm4v7 ar to get my first hunting rifle. Hope, one day, I could be like everyone here who is experienced hunter can be together to hunt in Africa... it's my dreaming to be thee. But at this moment I need to train, practice and find my dreaming rifle first.
Thanks again to meet all of the pro hunters here!!

G'day and welcome,

I own a .375H&H, yes they say a slow push. Remember you are not shooting a match over a bench so it's not strings of 50 shots.

Yeah, it boots but it's kinda fun. , Haven't hunted so much with it, location and game etc but it's a lot of fun. Hunted with .308 and .300wm etc

Tons of experience d people here.

I don't think you overthink the recoil if you are standing and shooting on game.

I also don't think you will be worried about recoil if you are up close with big game.

Again, welcome

Thanks for the information about 375 I'm in the US probably I'll get the 308 first because you barely need the 375 in n America.
In the future I may try to get it if I'm going to AF .
THANKS

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
