... I would also pay a lot of attention to the barrel profile and length. Most .375H&H barrels are too long and bulky. I sold my M70 Classic in 375 H&H after one Africa hunt for exactly that reason. The cartridge certainly does not need 26" barrels to achieve benchmark velocities. I would be thinking in the 22" range (maybe 23", which would look better with a Legend stock), and about .675" muzzle diameter ...
^^^ Good advice here.^^^ ... Made same mistake with the one .375 H&H custom that I built. Went with a Douglas #5 @ 26". Not exactly same/same. But, the 9.3x62 that I am building now will be a Douglas #4 @ 23".
