I picked this guy up yesterday. A new Kimber 8400 Caprivi in 375 H&H. The fit and finish are outstanding which is exactly what you would expect from Kimber. The best part is that it points better than any gun I've ever owned.

Now to cry over the price of the glass and figure out what to feed it!!

Looking pretty good there. Now you need to plan another trip to Africa and give her some experience. Bruce
 
I've been looking at those myself, great looking gun!

For sure. Next years trip is already booked and I'm researching options for '19. In the meantime I have a feeling that a few very unlucky pigs are going to help me break it in.
 
Beautiful rifle! Congrats on the purchase!
 
Great rifles. Jamy Traut had a couple which were "loaners" while he managed Eden. They saw a lot of use, were supremely accurate, and never a problem. Did I mention they are very elegant as well and don't weigh that extra 1 1/2 pounds that so many .375's seem to? Congrats on your acquisition.

Very nice!
 
Have one just like it (in my avatar). Great rifle, like everyone else has said. Used it on buff and eland, and they didn't argue much.
 
Give those pigs a bunch of hot metal! Congrats on the new toy!
 
Step two is done. Settled on a Swarovski Z6i 1X6 and bolted it down with Talley QD rings. At first glance I was afraid the scope was too high. As it turns out it's perfect.

Ammo is on the way. Hope to be shooting it this weekend.

Perfect scope with a beautiful gun(y)(y)(y)
 
Congrats on the addition! Love Kimbers
 
Man that looks good!
 
Very nice rig!
 
good move on the QDs
 
Man thats a nice looking rifle. The wood and recoil pad are classic. I have 2 kimber 1911s and love them both but never handled one of there higher end hunting rifles.

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)
