Surfing for opinions on this as a back-up rifle to my CZ .416rigby for my upcoming Buff hunt.
Please share your thoughts.

Perfect! Use North Fork bullets. Good to go.

It wouldn't be my first choice, but if you like it, go ahead.

Not sure what the model 995 is but a mentor of mine from years back, Ian Goss in KZN has used a SakoAV carbine in .375 as a PH back up and loaner for clients, including a number of buff and rhino, he loved it when I was working for him....he removed the front part of the full stock, leaving it looking like a 3/4 stock afair, with a 1-4x scope on it. Really handy and very reliable.

Thanks everyone. After speaking to a few owners with very good feedback plus the AR crew---I did it. I should get it in about a week. I will post a report and pics after shooting it.

Now I need bullets!
