My favorite......though not practical all the time, it is a custom job built on a Sako action in .375 H&H. I have a Douglas stainless barrel and British express sights on it with interchangable front sights. A McMillan synthetic stock and a Leupold 1.75 - 6 scope mounted with a set of Warne QD rounds it out. The whole barreled action was coated with a special nickel type coating which makes it pretty much impervious to the weather.

I have used this rifle as a back-up while guiding for about 2 1/2 decades now. It has been to Africa a few times and a lot of other places over years. Stopped a few pissed off grizzlies that my clients managed to stick in the wrong spot along the way as well.
I just like packing the old girl around.

Thanks to bullets like the 260 grain Nosler Accubond and the 250 Barnes X I can take her out ot play on moose and elk hunts once in a while if nothing big and nasty is in the offing.

Hey Billy D...........I didn't know you were a 7x57 fan. That is a hell of a good cartridge.
