"stlooiearch: Your suggestion is still an option. As I’ve stated many times, I haven’t made a decision yet. I’ve also considered that by purchasing a used custom Mauser, I may indeed be purchasing someone else’s trouble. .375 H&H is a good option, but I find the recoil above my tolerance levels."

the difference between these 3 cartridges is very small.

my A-bolt 375 is a lot nicer to shoot than my springfield sporter in 9.3 or my 35 whelen no. 1

it comes down to weight, stock design and recoil pad.
