375 H&H

After seeing a very nice 375 H&H at Bucky O'Neill's Gun Shop, I feel a slight need for a 375 H&H in which to shoot cast bullets, and the occassional new fangled copper thingys too. I thought I wanted a 35 Whelen, as I could then shoot the bullets I cast for the 357 Magnum, but now I could be ruined. One of the sweetest shooting, and very accurate rifles I have ever shot was my Uncle's Browning A-Bolt in 375 H&H.
A few weeks ago, the LGS had a Ruger M77 Magnum in .375 H&H
Don't recall the price, but condition looked excellent or better, and they hung it on the wall, above and well away from its lesser cousins, which treatment they reserve for special items.
I haven't gone to the shop in about four weeks, but since it's the 'off' season, there's probably a good chance the rifle is still there.
Might be worth a shot anyway.

I'll send some H&H brass your way. I'll NEVER wear out all I have.

Thanks Hoot! Young Airman at work is interested in my AR, if I let it go, the .375 is a go!
375 H&H
I had a Ruger #1 in that caliber which I sold about 10 years ago when I picked up a Ruger Mk II Express rifle. Its a great rifle. Would like it to be a bit lighter though.
If I had it to do all over again.....
I would buy ONE 375H&H (probably a sako w/shilen octagon barrel) and never buy another rifle. I can load down for varmints, a little more for deer, pigs 'n antelope. a bit heavier for elk/bear and if I won a trip to Alaska or Africa I'd be good to go. I sure would have saved a bunch of money over the years buying a rifle for every occasion.
YEP! A friend has used a standard push feed Win 70 in 375

Last year I was looking at the Winchester lineup...

They had an 1885 model singleshot in 375 H&H for a reasonable sum of money, dealer cost. Even had a dealer offer to let me have it at cost plus shipping... howsomeever, priorities don't include yet another rifle cached up north. But it still sings a siren song if I unstop my ears...
How 'bout .375 Ruger?
There don't seem to be any flies on the .375 Ruger, and you can get it in a standard-length action.
Just sayin'...

Priceline seems higher

I really wouldn't care either way, looks like the brass is a bit more, and not as readily available as the venerable H&H. This idea is the culmination of a lot of years of thinking in terms of minimalism, I could literally have one rifle that would work for North American deer all the way to the plains of Africa. I do know the neck on the 375 Ruger is .047" shorter than the H&H, not sure if that could be a factor for shooting cast bullets.
Priceline always was 'high'
The book said so.
