Odd mix with beautiful outcome.

My friends nephew Jan is 14, shooting his uncle's Victor Sarasqueta in .375 H&H Flanged, loaded with GS HV 265gr going ~ 2800 fps:



He managed to take 6 pigs on this driven hunt that took place in Croatia (Belje) in duration of 2 days - there he is with one of his pigs:



And the quarry (8 hunters took 33 pigs):

mouse93,

Beautiful rifle, what kind of accuracy do you get with the scope mounted?

Thanks guys - yes Jan is a big boy Smiler, AZGuy - I was only present at range one time the rifle was shot during load developement - and it looked allright at 100m (~2" spread between barrels). Rifle is mainly used as a lending rifle on a bear and boar hunts (close range) tho some Hungarian red stags were taken out to 200m - scopes (there are two - Swaro 1-4 on pic with illuminated circle dot reticle and another Swaro 1.5-6x with 4A and iluminated dot ret.) are fine tuned to the right barrel.

If you own a gun and you are not a member of the NRA and other pro 2nd amendment organizations then YOU are part of the problem.

If any monos are to be used in doubles - GS would be my first choice.
