My question is around accuracy - many of the high end hunting smiths will guarantee 1" with a custom load, while many of the "precision rifle" smiths will often commit to .75" with factory, some will go to .5".

I realize the "precision rifle" smiths are generally doing this with .308, .260, 300WM, etc. But I've been wondering if any of you know someone who could build an absolute tack driver .375 H&H?

Don't want a very heavy one, built to carry and hunt, all purpose Africa rifle - buffalo in close, or gemsbok at 300 yds - and yes I know 1" is fine for both animals, but like the rest of you I'm a gun nut and am looking to see if a tackdriver can be built in .375.

Appreciate any ideas, suggestions.

Thanks



I'd be more worried about where that 1st. shot is going to go. My 375H&H is very predictable in that respect. You could check with Gene Simillion. Seeing how you want it to go into an echols stock, he's the guy I'd be calling..
