Some are factory chambering.

Several wild cats.

Use only one for hunting now.

A 375/404.

It simply works.

Accurate and deadly!

I only have one, a .375 RUM.

And it also simply works.

And is accurate and deadly!

416 Hoffman . I only have this rifle for ALL game.

.

Sauer .375 H&H bolt action
Krieghoff .375 H&H double

CZ 550 Mag .416 Rigby

then we move on to .450s and .470s !!!

.

I've had a number of each but it always seems that the next shiny thing to come along require a sale of something to justify the acquisition. Presently I have only a one in 375 WBY built by Lon Paul.

While we are confessing our sins of overindulgence, we do realize, don't we, that the 9.3x62mm is just a brother from another mother, right?

Nope, I’m a hunter, just not a shooter. Owned a .375 and took my first buff with it in 2001. When it got to be a PITA to travel with a rifle, I sold it and never regretted it….

.375 H+H - 4) Winchester 70, Ruger Magnum, Ruger #1, Whitworth (Interarms)
.416 - 2) Ruger Magnum .416 Rigby, Winchester 70 .416 Rem

I am always surprised at how few big bores most people on AR own and shoot.

Bill

Two 375H&H's; one CZ550, one Winchester (Miroku) 1885

One 416 Rigby; CZ550 with the AHR treatment

Custom modified Legend stocked Mod 70 Classic 375 belted mag, original magnum Mauser takedown H&H 375 belted mag takedown from early 1913. 1952 Pre 64 375 belted mag. Custom ‘09 375 belted mag in the works. Set H&H 375 Flanged mag barrels for my H&H Royal in 500/450 3 1/4”. Also 458 Win mag Classic Safari Express.

Everyone on this thread is my hero...
I love seeing all of the big bores being owned and used.

Keep it coming.

Big bores start at .45, and I have far more of those than I need as well.

Just one .375 H&H.

1 Chapuis 375 H&H
2 KDF 375 H&H
3 KDF 411 KDF
411 was very effective on Buffalo and plains game,very accurate

Have a 375 and 416 Ruger

you cant say so to the 375 fan choir ... and the 9,3x62mm is even born before the 375hh ...

2 375
3 416

I have two .375 H&H rifles, and no .416's. My preferences tend towards the lighter end of the spectrum, with three 9.3's to compliment the .375's.

2 .375’s one stainless one a safari express and a .416 safari express all Winchester. I find both very useful. If I had to have one all around it would be .416. Impressive round

That said I was toying with making a .375 RUM

Currently a .375 H&H in a left-handed Zastava, having owned two .375 H&Hs previously: a Win M70 and a Browning A-Bolt SS left-hand at different dates.

Never a .416 - as my favorite cartridge is .458 Win Mag in three different rifles - the most versatile cartridge extant if a handloader. Currently in a Ruger No.1H. Previously in a Ruger M77 and a CZ 550.

Well, I just picked a pair of Martini-Heym .375 H&H express rifles....

Why??? I have no idea... Just did it...

Two at the same time? Of the same identical rifle?

Are you sharing this information only with fellow addicts, or also with family, friends and physicians?

I fear it is truly time now for an intervention.

Will you sell one to me?

I may need an intervention or an excuse to go back to Zim and shoot them like a double rifle - one on each shoulder!

Honestly, thinking of have some adornment done and give to my two sons….as long as they come in one more hunt with me!

404 Jeffery
Sweetest gun with ugliest stock ( 2x4 comes to mind )

Now that is a consummation devoutly to be wished!

Pre-64 375 H&H
375 H&H built on BRNO 602

None yet, but looking hard

I have a .375 H&H Heym Martini Express, my absolutt favourite rifle. Hard to use both at once, but the more the merrier

Over the years I’ve had 3 different .416 but currently have one .416 Weatherby Safari Custom.

One .375 but it’s not a H&H, it’s a .375 Flanged in a Verney Carron double.

Both used successfully in Africa and US hunting.

Paul, is that the one you got from me years ago?

The horrible question is we have fake hunters using over rated, pretentious toys masquerading as rifles for hunting!

The are called BLASERS!

Hey Jon!

No. I think you helped to sell my first one to someone else.
And you helped sell my GMA-action, AHR 600 Overkill (another, on MRC PH action) should arrive soon …

I lose track :-)

Yes, and we drive to and from the airport for our fake hunting trips in those fake, over-rated Mercedes-Benz automobiles!

Saeed,
You hurt me. You hurt me bad....

I hate to say it but I have tried to hate the Blaser R8 but cannot. They shoot, they shoot accurately, they don't jam, they are inherently safe with a round in the chamber, they handle "fast" and they fit my frame.

What is not to like????

375 Ruger, 375 &H, 416 Rem, 9,3x62. and a 404 Jefferys and always a double or two back in the day when I spent 30 days or more in Africa every year. Since retirement I have a 35 whelen as my big bore.

None presently. Not likely to be more. Previously, more 375s than I can remember. 2 416 Rigbys. Do have a 450/400 and a 458 WM.

What's not to like about Blasers?

To start their looks are enough to make anyone with a sense of taste

I used 3 different Blasers on my most recent hunt in UK and Spain. There are a couple of quirks you have to be aware of but they work slicker than snot. I may have to buy one.
