JB writes that if one is truly practical he'll get a .416 Rem or stay with the .375 H&H.
That's what he says and it makes perfect sense. He's a Loony, however, just like us, and I don't how "practical" he would/could be starting from scratch, shopping for a big rifle. I think he'd end up with another .416 Rigby or something similar.
I just like the .404 J. I had my hunting partner ready to go halves on one I found. Then, I sobered up and took a deep breath. It may be a long time before we go to Africa. And we already have more than adequate firepower for anything that walks on the North American continent.
So, I'm going to wait. If I run across a used M-70 in a RUM caliber, I may pick it up as a donor for a future build. Time is on my side, but of course, that's logical thinking. I'm just not too sure about the effects of time on the sanity of a Loony...
