Roger, I really like the new model 30 that you bought. I just got back my 8x68s that was at my gunsmith to use as a pattern for opening up my old model 30 for use as a 375 Wby. Yes as far as I know the 8x68s rifle was owned by a past NRA Pres. originally a 300 H&H. For people who want to open up a 1917 Enfield or 30 Rem for 375 H&H, it is pretty easy. My gunsmith pushed back the rear mag wall and the front wall giving 3.670 mag length and only milling back the rear receiver opening near the trigger spring was necessary for the extra length. I only need to have the bolt face, extractor and feed rails modified now. Good luck with your 375 and a wood stock on it like the 30-06 you bought would be great. Randy
Thanks, I guess i really like the 5 down magazine and they are different then my mausers and model 70's. Also they are both made in the 1930's.
That 375 Weatherby is probably weatherby's best cartridge a long with the 300.
The 375 turned out to have a synthetic stock,but I have a real nice caro blank that I have been saving,kinda torn whether to use it.
