Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Express Rifles and Big Bores Only Kimber Caprivi .375 H&H--Any Improvement?

Hi Oldman,

Not so easy to make a transformed semi-auto reliably work, and with heavy bullets can be worse. You can find real good steel BAR in 338Winch mag, some of them where transformed in bigger magnum calibers like 416 Taylor or even 458. lots of time and works! But in Africa semi-auto hunting rifles are banned in most if not all countries!
If i had to play with a semi would surely goes to a steel BAR or HK/Merkel one rather than Benelli.

I know. I bought the actions a long time ago, with thoughts of building a 7X57 and a 257 Roberts on them. The 1909 won't accomodate the 375 H&H, though. Maybe a 35 Whelen and one of the ohter two mentioned above. As I said, Africa is probably not on my list, so I don't have to have a 375. But I sure would like one. I alos have an original complete Argentine 1909 rifle.

Just trying to get some focus in my rifle collection. I have a few Remington Classics from when they produced a different caliber each year. I'd like to replace them with Mauser actioned guns. The 1909 is, IMO, one of the finest actions to build a custom on. I guess the question is, how big can I go with one?

I really just need the action barreled, the wing safety, scope mounts, etc. I don't feel the need for truing the action, lapping lugs, etc, as these actions are so good. I shot an 5 shot, 1.25" group with iron sites with a 150 grain Sierra bullet at 3003FPS with that rifle. Who does that kind of work here in the US?

Poor Jorge, he keeps quoting a site that is history.

The current Ruger site does not list them nor do any major wholesalers indicate they can get a new one from the factory.

Try googling Ruger rifles. It will take you here.

click on bolt action rifles and show me the RSM.....(GRIN) Just KILLING you that I got one at such a good price and you don't. (LAFFIN)

Then click on African: you'll get this:

One thing you gotta love about the brat pack they are all the same (see below)

Look stupid, if you go to The Ruger site you have linked on your sorry-assed and EMBARRRASING post and then go "bolt actions" scroll down to where it says M77 MKII under "magnum" (right under "target") you can link to the the RSMs. THERE IS NO LINK THAT SAYS RSM it's UNDDER "MAGNUM"...STUPID:

M77� Mark II

Target

Magnum

Life is tough enough, but a lot tougher if you're stupid. Hope you haven't procreated, we have enough retards to go around as it is. jorge

That is the same site.

Go to Bolt Action Rilfes at the top left and then down to M77 Mark II

Mike: do you all know the expression "shallow end of the gene pool" Down Under? That's where Oldman hangs out, his microcephalic brain completely starved of oxygen...jorge

Jorge,

I guess he is a troll like you have all being saying. If he is not a troll he needs to see a doctor.

+100

That link works for me as well.. No problem pulling up the MarkII magnums

Well let's see if he has the balls to show his face after just pegging the needle on the BUFFOON-O-METER LOL! jorge

Jorge..

Oh, he may post here again, but he WILL NOT admit his mistake...

He cannot be tought anything new because he "knows it all", even when he is PROVEN wrong..

Read this thread-

The more he posts here, the more he acts like "Lee24"..

Jorge, thanks for that.

On the subject of Kimber Caprivi (and probably the big Ruger) in Australia, America might be the same, it is very hard to equal those rifles for the same cost by customising a cheaper rifle, assuming you start with a new action or new rifle.

Even if you get the blank for nothing the stock making is expensive.

If you took an M70 375 as the starting point what would itwould it cost in America to restock, get metal work up to the level of the Kimber Caprivi and add barrel band front sight.

But if comparing tosomething like Dakota or Wby Safari then things get different. A Wby Safari would be about $8000-$9000 with wood upgrade and I think Dakota would be similar and both are $6000US plus for the standard gun.

But overall, if the Kimber QC problems are over reported or if they don't apply to the Caprive then it is a good deal for a nice 375.

Mike: I "hounded" Ruger when they started to advertise this rifle way back in the early 90s. In fact I even have one of the first ones to come out and as you can see it has the 24" barrel and front swive on the stock. I had the action tuned up and the metal recoil plate bedded by Mark Penrod. It is unbelievably accurate. I've shot two buffalo with it. Mine and my friend's as a back up shot when he tried to get up and charge us. jorge

Thank you all for you kind and courteous way of pointing out my error. Gentlemen always are easily identified.

Still seems no wholesalers have them. They still cost a lot less (even at MSRP) than the Kimber. Mine only cost $1200 with two scratches in the stock and a lot nicer wood than any current Ruger. Several on Gunsamerica are also a lot less that the Kimber.

Kimbers are nice, I have an 84 NRA in 333 F, but $2 grand difference is a lot of money to have a Kimber with their spotty reputation (try the search function)

Do keep up the good work!

Laugh away.... you own none of either. pompous AZZ!

We are laughing, at you! Look man, when you insisted, on more than one ocassion the RSMs were no longer being made, all I did the first time was put up a link to the Ruger site. The SECOND time you posted the same BS all I said was :
"EOS??? not hardly...." I don't think that qualifies as rude by any means. Then you come back with your "poor jorge"garbage in a weak attempt at ridiculing me. Well guess what dipshit, you've embarrased yourself again. RSMs are available and you were wrong...again. jorge

What does EOS mean?
