Take his name off of it, finish the metal and wood like it should be, chamber it in 375 H&H.........and I'd be on board.
Couple of questions -
Just wondering what you've got against Boddington. I met him when he was speaking at our local BPS, and he seems like a down to earth guy. Answered everyones questions before he left, and very knowledgable about any kind of African hunting. If you've seen his elephant hunting DVD, it's obvious that he'll stand shoulder to shoulder with the PH or other hunters when the average guy would probably be soiling something.
Also, I understand that long time 375 H & H users may find it hard to try something new, but as a DG cartridge, the ballistic differences are insignificant. An elephant or buff isn't going to notice that the bullet may be travelling 100 or 200 fps slower. Just wondering what your resoning is.
Finish is a matter of personal preference. I like the more subdued look of the metal and wood on the commemeratives.
