Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Express Rifles and Big Bores Only 375 Whitworth Gunshow Score

I have one like that as well. Monte Carlo Stock rather than the straight English stye stock. It shoots well, despite having a few corrosion pits a few inches back of the muzzle, inside the barrel. I've scratching my head for a while, trying to decide what to do with it. Also a .375 H&H.

That is what I thought too, until this happened to me on my first game animal in Africa,
blue wildebeest at 150 yards, one shot with 300-gr Old X-Bullet, 2530 fps from .375 H&H handload with RL-15.
50-yard run with excellent bleeding from both sides of critter, and my left index finger:

Old Kimber of Oregon QD rings and bases with a Leupold 2.5-8x36mm VX-III:

The first rifle I ever had a gunsmith put together for me in Alaska in 1987,
it used a Mk X Alaskan-pattern .375 H&H barreled action.
My first-ever "gunsmithing addiction enabler" claimed to be allergic to epoxy so that is when I learned to bed a rifle myself.
The Brown Precision bare fiberglass blank was about all I could find at the time.
Masking tape pattern for roughed up epoxy grip panels.
Flat black Krylon spray paint over bare fiberglass and epoxy, easy to touch up.
Voila:



Leupold fixed 4X above in 3 Weaver rings, fold-down Redfield "Bo" peep attached to rear Weaver base,
Ruger No. 1 rib for scout scope and fold-down rear open sight.
Sighting redundancy, double redundancy.

Brockman used to make these:



I have several rifles with the Brockman hangers.
That much steel adds weight.
I really prefer just installing a stud on the tip, the one with machine threads and backed with a nut
buried under epoxy in the barrel channel.

LOL ..... I can see your point. Looks like you almost bled out there.

Picked up a CZ 550 in 416 Rigby with 200 rounds and a lot of reloading components for $1600 at the gun show. Amazing deal I think.
