[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1559101, member: 10291"] One of my favorites that I have owned for almost 35 years. It’s an Interarms Whitworth Express Rifle in 375H&H. Quick detach German scope mount/Express sights. Very fast, low felt recoil at 9 pounds. Don’t under-rate a well bedded and sealed, quality walnut stock. Still has the same Leupold 4x scope. Shot everything from Impala to Cape Buffalo(at 20 Yards). This Kudu was taken at 300 yards in the early 80’s. Still shoots sub MOA with 270gr SP’s and 300gr Solids...same POI to 100 yards with open sights or scope. Excuse the crummy old photos. For the serious, close encounters with teeth, claws,or horns at spitting distance I “very” much prefer +5000 FPE and the penetration of a 480 gr at 2150FPS with my 450 Nitro Express H&H Double. IMO, the difference in stopping power between the 375 and 450 with the big, dangerous guys is quite noticeable.. Bottom photo, 450 NE H&H Double... 2nd photo: lion at 21 yards. Never hunted the big bears, but I’d expect them to be equally, or even more dangerous as an aggressive lion in close quarters because of the much greater body mass.
