Lighter spout than most of Winchester's attempts,which is .640" at 25". Hint. Typical Winchester,the throating is schit. Hint....................

2012 SHOT special on the SS 375. They dried up pretty quick; no idea on production numbers or why they didn’t keep SS in the lineup.

My son has one in 338 Winchester. I have seen 1, if not 2 in the 375 H&H. I pondered the purchase of the 375 H&H for one day too long. Missed that one.

Guys over at africahunting say the Alaskan is better balanced in 375 H&H than the Safari Express, which has a heavier barrel profile.
Nice rifle. They should make another batch.

Balance/handling is GREATLY improved and it's now a vastly superior platform,though in fairness...I actually fhuqking shoot. Hint. Had it out yesterday gunning reticle DOPE and am on the money to the 650yd line(270 Speer BTSP's). As per Winchester's fhuqking usual,same seated to mag constraints(3.610"),are jumping over .100++ to the lands. I should set it back and fix that too. Hint. Got sidetracked with Chrome yesterday afternoon. Hint. [/URL [URL=https://imageshack.com/i/poubgd9Wj]"Fair" day today,thus far. Hint. Too bad nobody at Winchester actually fhuqking shoots,or they could connect a few fhuqking dots. Hint.......................

If I did,I'd chop to 19" for R&D extrapolations. Hint.(grin) Needed a Wingman this morning,for pics in tight spots. I'll hit my first 100 fish of the R&R by Thursday afternoon,or Friday morning. Hint. Best fish of this morning was a 36" Chromer Hen,but she wouldn't lay still,when I let loose to frame Pixels. Not a great spot to land her and with a single flop she was gone. All you can do is laugh and make another cast. Hint. Fhuqking Laughing!.............

I like the fish pics and your right just laugh when they get away during pics. BTDT. Did you open the magazine or replace it? I had to open my box on my Win 338, I should have just set the barrel back. How about the stock are you changing it out? Took the Grandson out Sunday but fishing sucked

Trying to be nice to fish and landing 20,30 or 40 a day and sometimes schit happens. Always tough when solo,to reap killer pics,but that's part of the game. Always easier,when punching schit in the ear and carting it home. Hint. I don't have a like Model Winny in 338 to extrapolate,against this Six-bits. I'm unaware of an OEM Winny 338Win,wearing an Express magbox,but they sure as fhuqk SHOULD. Hint.(grin) A setback should hinge on a coupla constants. Firstly RPM and secondly COAL latitude. Connect RPM,COAL and Throat Geometry and you'll NEVER not reap a sound mechanical platform. Trouble is,Winchester "thinks" schit BC's and wadcutter COAL "fgriendly" magboxes are "sound". Hint. The handle is "sound" enough,given McMillan's current status. Hint. GrandBaby Fishing is my FAVORITE. Hint. Fhuqking LAUGHING!.............
