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.
-
UM........ Ok I don't have to say it! do I :dunno: :bash:
-
tomorrow after I pound few through it......range report and pics.
-
Let us know how it shoots bro!! I've wanted a 375 H&H forever. Someday,someday.
-
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. :chuckle:
-
surely for the same reason I do....to fend off the ground squirrels this spring.
-
I guess the next question is what are you going to use it for? Pounding nails?
-
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. :chuckle:
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.

the thing is a cream puff compared to my cristensen ultramag. I see dead things in its future
-
Yeah, I was looking for a lighter caliber for hunting prairie dogs, too. Thinking about a nice flat shooting rifle like a .450 Marlin.
-
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.

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

UM........ Ok I don't have to say it! do I :dunno: :bash:
OK I give! lets play a game! "THIS THREAD IS USELESS WITHOUT _ _ _ _" :dunno:

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

I used to have a 375 H&H sold it and got the 375 RUM... They both kill stuff.. :o
-
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. ;)

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.
-
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
-
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 .
-
I expect to kill some coyotes with it soon

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