My first .375 was bought for a Brown bear hunt, nearly 30 years ago. It was a Golden Eagle, kinda a Wby lookalike, but reasonable cost wise. It shot Win. Power Point 270 gr. ammo rather well, and it accounted for a monster Brownie which I entered into the B and C record book.

The hunt, on the Aleutian Islands of Alaska, was in wet and cold conditions. It took quite a toll on the blue/wood rifle, in spite of my efforts to keep it clean and oiled.

On return, I cleaned up the rust spots, and sold it.

Now, I own another 375, almost 30 years later, and wonder what took me so long......


I'd rather be a free man in my grave, than living as a puppet or a slave....
