I like your plans. The problem is, when your rifle is finished, it will be so handy, you might render your 300 magnum obsolete.

Jesse Occumpaugh down in Oregon, will rebore your original barrel for much cheaper than buying a new barrel. The pre 64 barrels drill out nice and clean!

The 9.3x62 Mauser would be ah dandy, especially if you'll keep heading back to Africa.

Mine sent 300 grain A-frames into moose and caribou at distances as long as 400-500 yds.

Do you dare go "full timberman" and afix a fixed leupold 2.5 ultralight?
