Hi eljefe,
> Hey that was a great link you gave on DG rifles - made very interesting reading.
> By the way couldn't take my eyes off the image of the rifle in that article - was it a .375 mag Winchester - atleast looked like one.
Cheers

My biggest fear is; when I die, my wife will sell my guns for what I told them it cost me!
>WHAT A PITY, WE CAN'T THEM WITH US TO THE HAPPY HUNTING GROUNDS!!!

I think thats a 416, not too sure though.I have bad memories of a 375 in a pre 64 mod 70 Win and concussion from a scope

Seems to me like a .458 Win.Mag...

Re: DG Rifle anyone?
Nice article. Thanks for sharing.
The rifle is the new Ruger Hawkeye African in .375 Ruger.

Ammo availability could be an issue outside of North America. The .375 Ruger is very similiar in performance to the .375 H&H in a standard length action.
