[QUOTE="memtb, post: 2121578, member: 75451"] Built it (semi-custom) in 1989.....though it never made it to Africa. Winchester Model 70 action, McMillan Classic synthetic stock, Douglas SS 24”match grade barrel (lightest contour available) with express sights, Leupold QD bases/rings with 2 scopes (3.5-10 & 2.5-8) zero’d and ready for service ( though would get a lower magnification for the African hunt), weighing 9 pounds 1or 2 ounces (scoped/loaded/slung), chambered in .375 AI. The AI offers higher velocities than a standard H&H......but, the worldwide popular .375 H&H can be readily fired in the AI chamber, with only a small decrease in muzzle velocity! That was my rifle! Or....you could get a Kimber Talkeetna, and run an AI reamer in it (very inexpensive) and have your “go to” rifle ready to go! Then sell-off everything else you have....use the money gained to hunt the world! 😉 memtb [/QUOTE]
