[QUOTE="BallisticsGuy, post: 1322852, member: 96226"] Thanks guys. I went out and got the tent poles out of one of my old busted tents and made a set of shooting sticks that I'm practicing on, particularly practicing getting on the rifle in the way that you have to do with hard kickers like .375H&H. Don't want any recoil surprises because I got used to light kicking match rifles. I've also increased my daily strength training regimen on the core (especially my lower back) and legs and added longish walks which I'll slowly work up to runs. I should be in good physical shape compared to my current form which is closer to an internet tanned office body, well maybe not that bad but I'm pretty pasty. I'm really thinking about building a rifle to take with me. I'd really like to have something I know will fit, fire and function instinctively for me, especially if it's going to be a hard kicker and the shots are once in a lifetime. For plains game antelope species, are there any caliber/chamber restrictions or, better yet, how about suggestions. I'd be just as happy to use an 6.5x55mm Mauser as a 9.3x74. If it's best to bring a .375H&H, that's fine. LMK. [/QUOTE]
