scored me a new 375h&h

[high country]

I found a nice 375 built on a montana rifle co action and sitting in a mc millian that was built by roger biesen......so I had to buy it! I built some brass out of 300roy stuff that I had laying here and stuffed some accubonds into them, I hope it will shoot as good as the sum of its parts! I feel bad to have mounted a redfield wideview in redfiled weaver bases.....but it is what I had laying around.

[400out]

UM........ Ok I don't have to say it! do I   

[high country]

tomorrow after I pound  few through it......range report and pics.

[Kent Hunter]

Let us know how it shoots bro!! I've wanted a 375 H&H forever. Someday,someday.

[Gutpile]

I want one too. Was gonna buy a 375 RUM last year but couldn't connect with the guy. I need a 375 for some reason. 

[high country]

surely for the same reason I do....to fend off the ground squirrels this spring.

[Skyvalhunter]

I guess the next question is what are you going to use it for? Pounding nails?

[Hyde]

I think you'll be pleasantly surprised that the recoil on that rifle isn't bad at all.  Not a sharp recoil at all.  It's been said it feels more like a big "push", and I can confirm that.  I hope it is on the heavier side though.  Classic cartridge.

Who DOESN'T need a .375?  I do.  I might, someday, go hunt bears or water buffalo and really need one.  I just want to be prepared when the day comes.   

I also need a .17, a .204, a .22 mag, .22-250, .222, a .223, a .240, a .243, a 6mm, a 6.5mm, a .257, a .270 mag, a .280, a .284,a 7mm, a .300 mag, a .300 ultra, a .325, a .338, a .340, .35, a .416, a .450, a .470, a .50 and there are probably a lot of other calibers that I could also used - I already own some of them and I can think of a few others that would be useful but aren't on the list.  And, of course, there are all of the "flavors" of each caliber that I would need to own for different shooting situations. Just to be prepared, of course.

Amen!  I like how you think. 

[high country]

the thing is a cream puff compared to my cristensen ultramag. I see dead things in its future

[halflife65]

Yeah, I was looking for a lighter caliber for hunting prairie dogs, too.   Thinking about a nice flat shooting rifle like a .450 Marlin. 

[bobcat]

Should be a great elk rifle! I'd like to have a 375 H&H someday.

I have used my 45-70 lever gun on songdogs and chucks.......it is not as neat as one would think......nothing like a sierra 165gr hollw point at 3600

Yeah..just about like me.

[Buckmark]

Right on, the .375HH is on my list right next to a .416REM.......
Why........Because........

[400out]

UM........ Ok I don't have to say it! do I   

OK I give!  lets play a game! "THIS THREAD IS USELESS WITHOUT _ _ _ _" 

[bow-n-head]

I'd love to have a 375 H&H, I mean I already have a 300 H&H, love it. I wanna see pictures.

[woodswalker]

NO NO NO...416 RIGBY.....I GOT that..need a .375 H&H and a 300 H&H to go with it.

[WDFW-SUX]

I used to have a 375 H&H sold it and got the 375 RUM...  They both kill stuff..

[yorketransport]

Good score! I hand an Encore in 375 H&H. I loved the idea of that gun, unfortunately I just couldn't get it to shoot well. Sold it and went with a 375 Ruger in the Hawkeye Alaskan. It's my favorite rifle/caliber. I can't think of anything that a 375 wouldn't be perfect for!

The only gun that could possibly be better would be a 416 Rigby.

Just loaded some 270 Hornadys for a buddy over Re-15.  Tackdriver.

How was the recoil on the 375 Ruger?  (compared to the H&H?)  I am ogling a left hand 375 Ruger now.  My next rifle I think. 

[yorketransport]

Recoil from the Ruger Hawkeye Alaskan is not bad at all. Scoped and loaded it weighs 9lbs. I can shoot it 30-40 rounds before it stops being fun. Compare that to the 375 H&H in the Encore of the same weight which stoped being fun after 15-20 rounds from the bench. It's not a fair comparrison thought. there stock and recoil pad on on the Encore don't do much to help with heavy recoil. In either gun though, I think that the 375 is perfectly managable if you aren't sitting at the bench.

When my cousin first started deer hunting with my family and i, he was using a 375h&h and he shot 5 or 6 deer with it and never ruined any meat with it... we were all pretty surpised by it

[coachcw]

for 150yards in its a masher after that it a  plow. I'd still love to get my hands on a .375 ruger , I got a encore with a 7mm heavy vx2 and a .280 with a vx2 . both stainless ,I'd trade for a .375 ruger .

[high country]

I expect to kill some coyotes with it soon

AMEN!  When the Flesh eating aliens descend from the Mother Ship we will all need one, nothing less will do...

I use RL 15 in my RUM works good. I was getting almost 3000 fps out of my 270 grain barnes X bullets...
