[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 2122763, member: 10291"] Nothing wrong with an off the shelf rifle as long as it’s well tested before the hunt. I used an Interterms Whitworth Express Rifle(Mauser action) in 375H&H for my first trip back in the 80’s. It had a German detachable mounttidsys equivalent of a Warne) with a Leupold 4X scope. This rifle was used on multiple trips and proved to be quite accurate, reliable, and sufficient for undisturbed Buffalo with some distance. For close shooting I prefer my larger bore double(500-450) or Winchester pre-64 African(458WM), both with good, open express sights. Same general requirements for Lion. [/QUOTE]
