I've had several excellent .375's over the years including an amazing Dakota Safari, but this one tops them all. My work takes me to Africa each year and during 25 years of those trips I have hunted pretty extensively in Zimbabwe and several times in Namibia on the margins of those trips. Only recently, I have found that I couldn't budget the time for actual safari hunts and have spent most of the time I could carve out doing "problem animal control" with two PH friends who do such work for the Government. Those adventures usually tend to be two or three day events. As a result, I sold my heavier rifles since my hunting in the states is confined mostly to deer hunts in the midwest along with an occasional run out west for elk or antelope.
However, last year when I ran across this rifle... I just couldn't resist and acquired it right before my trip overseas. I couldn't wait to shoot it and got it scoped up and fired about 15 rounds of random ammo a couple of days before I left. The rifle paired with the GPO scope proved to be a dream set-up I would normally never consider parting with. However, I learned on that trip that my African itineraries will be increasing significantly in length, also involving multiple stops in several additional countries. With the heavier itinerary involving multiple border crossings, plus staying in places where a rifle could not be secured or in some cases, even possessed, taking my firearms would be an absolute nightmare. Given those realities, it's obvious that I would be a fool to continue to attempt bringing my firearms along. So, sadly, this rifle and a Lane Precision .300 Win Mag need a home other than my safe.
