As to the link to the .416 Weatherby Magnum,after shooting a .460 Weatherby Magnum (twice no less ! ) ,I will pass on all things Weatherby.OUCH !!!
Practically,I should just get a Ruger 77 Magnum in .375 H&H or .416 Rigby.
Giraffe and leopard ? What did he have to do with the leopard skin ? I am fairly certain that US laws prohibit bringing them into the country.
That is the only reason that I am not hunting leopard.I need to talk to your father.I am pretty certain evrything will be ready by next July.
The M77 is a fine affordable rifle:rock: with so many calibers available too

Ruger Centerfire Bolt Action rifles
Release
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you choose a Ruger Centerfire Bolt Action rifle, you have a wide range of options. There are 25 calibers to select from and barrel lengths ranging from 16 1/2" for the easy-to-carry Compact Rifle to 26" for the supremely accurate Target Grey® M77 MKII Target Rifle. Material choices include blued alloy steel or stainless steel, and American Black Walnut, laminated hardwood, or All-Weather synthetic stocks. In total, Sturm, Ruger offers over 150 top-quality centerfire bolt action rifles to meet your exact needs.
Ruger centerfire bolt action rifles also meet your needs for reliable, accurate and convenient scope mounting. You will never have to buy traditional separate scope mount bases, because all our centerfire bolt action rifles are produced with Ruger's patented integral scope mounting system. Ruger scope rings attach directly to the receiver's machined mounting surfaces, eliminating a potential source of looseness and inaccuracy in the field. Ruger scope rings are included at no extra cost, a $60 value. No other American rifle maker offers this system, but you get it free with every Ruger bolt action rifle.
Ruger's proven bolt action design includes a one-piece bolt and a non-rotating Mauser-type controlled-feed extractor, the most positive case extraction system ever invented. The fixed-blade-type ejector positively ejects the empty cases as the bolt is moved fully rearward. All Ruger centerfire bolt action rifles also feature our easily accessible three-position safety, which allows the shooter to lock the bolt, or to load and unload, with the safety engaged.
Since its introduction in 1968, the Ruger M77 has been recognized as a leader in the field of Centerfire Bolt Action rifles. Its diagonal front-screw bedding system firmly anchors the receiver into the stock inletting more effectively than any other system devised. Its one-piece bolt has proven to be one of the strongest on the market, standing up over the years to such magnum cartridges as the .375 H&H and .416 Rigby.
Today, Ruger M77 Mark II Bolt Action rifles are available in both right- and left-handed configurations, and in calibers ranging from .223 Remington to .458 Lott. M77 Mark II rifles feature a patented floorplate latch that is mounted flush with the front of the trigger guard. This secures the hinged floorplate against accidental dumping of cartridges, yet allows quick unloading of the magazine well by simply pressing from the outside of the guard.
M77 Mark II Standard Model Rifles: Ruger M77 Mark II Standard Model rifles are suitable for a wide variety of shooting requirements. The M77 Mark II Standard offers classic features including checkered American Walnut stocks, sling swivel studs, blued alloy steel components and your choice of sighted or unsighted models.
M77 Mark II Compact Rifles: For hunters who trek far into the wilderness for their game, we offer the 5-3/4-lb. M77 Mark II Compact. Ruger Compact bolt action rifles have shorter barrels and stocks, making them convenient for hunting over large areas. In spite of their size, Ruger Compact rifles offer real stopping power - including five popular calibers from .223 Remington to .308 Winchester.
M77 Mark II Magnum Rifles: For those who confront the largest and most dangerous game, the Ruger M77 Mark II Magnum rifle will fit the bill. Ruger Magnum rifles offer deluxe features including heavy barrels with machined integral ribs and Express sights, and premium grade Circassian walnut stocks. Ruger M77 Mark II Magnum rifles are offered in .375 H&H, .416 Rigby and .458 Lott - for the ultimate stopping power.

Ultra Light rifles feature reduced contour stocks and barrels to save weight without compromising performance. In general, Ultra Light rifles are one-half to three-quarters of a pound lighter than equivalent standard models.
77/22 Hornet & 77/44 Rotary Magazine Centerfire Bolt Action Rifles: Unique among bolt action rifles, Ruger 77/22 Hornet and 77/44 rotary magazine centerfire bolt action rifles incorporate Ruger's patented detachable rotary magazine, plus the three-position safety of the Ruger M77 Mark II.
