I'm new to the site and have been looking at all the recommendations for African Rifles. I figure my first trip will be a PG safari so I been looking into a rifle to dedicate solely to hunting African PG. I have seen a lot of good recommendations but I never saw the 300 H&H mentioned. I was thinking of building a 300 H&H and have it push a good 180 gr bullet. This should take damn near anything right?

I have started building a few .375 and .416 Ruger rifles for a couple of friends and myself. All of them are going to be on Model 70 classic actions that were originally .300 Win mag or .338 win mag.

I have a M77 tang safety action in 7 mm mag. Wanted to have a custom.375 H&H built on this action. Are these actions a good choice? Is a Mark 4 a better choice because of three wing safety? Why don’t you see many custom rifles built on Ruger actions?

I’ve been reading a ton of great info on this site while...
