I am alerting the African board to several rifles I am offering in the classifieds.

Savage 425 Express


416 Howell


375HH


300WinMag


7mmRemMag

Those are really nice looking rifles. Of course the bolts are on the wrong side for me. I think I remember years ago the 425 express. What is it and what is the actual bore size and what case was it made from?

The 425 Express is based upon a blown out 300WinMag Case, or a 458Win case if you are lazy and can abide a shorter neck.

It shoots 404J sized bullets: 400grain at @2400fps.

The 416 Howell is a shortened 404 case, necked down to 416. It too shoots 400grain bullets to @2400fps. According to some, it will do better than that, but that is about all I can stand.
