Nice rifle, shot Rob's in Vegas a month ago, and am leaving for Namibia in a week with one of AHR's 375 H&H. Talked to Wayne (AHR) and may get a 600 OK going in six months or so.

Like the stock, but be prepared to hear from the knothole group. Especially like the fore end tip wood. Like to see a pic once it is finished.

The big bores are addicting.

Isn't 10 lbs going to be a bit "mundane" after playing with svelt 8 lbers?

She going to be a stunner!

I like it all, especially the front banded sight design. Very "Springfield" looking. Is that a one-of-a-kind?

Not bad,just doesn't have that powerful ring to it though..maybe Dooma! Ha!
Latest update,we are pulling the nice blonde tip off and replacing it with darker stuff,the coats of oil just didnt do it dark enough for me....
