The owner accidentally communicated the incorrect LOP to the gun builder and now, was looking to quickly sell the rifle and wanted to commission an identical rifle (with the correct LOP) but in 375 H&H. He is, as am I, that impressed with the builders workmanship. It has taken more than a few attempts to find loads which meet my accuracy standards but I found several.


87 gr Hornady SP (no longer available) with IMR 4350
115 gr Nosler BT with either IMR 4350 or IMR 4831
120 gr Nosler PT with IMR 4831
110 gr TTSX with Hybrid 100

It was 4 yrs before finally harvesting my first game animal with it. I almost sold it several times but fortunately talked myself out of doing so, knowing i'd never find such a gorgeous rifle nor being able to afford something similar. My son and step son have both taken their first deer with it as well as mule deer and elk by myself.

The seller, emailed a bunch of pics to me hours after we first talked. I think I had to keep pulling my jaw off the ground as I looked over each picture. Here are a few for your enjoyment.
