I have a very nice marlin 375 win A friend if mine has a mint New Haven Connecticut feather weight classic 300 wsm he would swap even for I’ve got other levers and a few other 300wsm rifles Not a have to by any means but I’ve never shot my 375 Should I just hold onto it Kind of on the fence about it What would you do??
Value is probably close enough if you want his gun. IMO yours is worth a bit more and would be an easier gun to sell. I wouldn’t do it just to do it, but if I really wanted his, I’d go for it. Would something else bring you more joy than another 300 wsm? Good luck either way.

Your Marlin 375 is worth more than the Winchester model 70 300wsm, so there's that.. Someone said the 300WSM's had feeding issues. That was never an issue with the model 70's. In the Ruger 77 and Remington, it was an issue on the early ones. I probably would not trade, but that is on you..

I'm with you, I wouldn't do the trade the model 70 in 300WSM's are a dime a dozen. I can count on one hand how many marlin 375 Winchesters I seen.

Exactly, and that says a lot, since I know both of us are Winchester model 70 guys. I've seen a couple nice Marlin 375's in person. The first one I screwed up on big time. Saw it locally for $600.00, went home to ask about it here, everyone said go back and buy it dummy!!! When I went back, a couple hours later, it was gone!!! Later found out that rifle was worth about $1,200-$1,500.00. They don't grow on trees, and they seem to be very popular. I have a like new Winchester 94 big bore 375, so I was not too disappointed I didn't buy the Marlin, but learned big time from that mistake.. The lady at the gunshop had to rub it in a little too, when she said it wasn't in the shop for more than 3 hours!!!

There were only a few over 16,000 Marlin .375 rifles made. That alone should make the trade a no deal. You already have a 300 WSM so another is really not needed. The .375 Marlin is a great woods deer rifle. They carry and point very well. I got my buck this year with a .375. I have several deer rifles but that .375 gets carried every year at least one day or more. Have a great day. Jim
What matters is what you want. I sold a Marlin .375 cheap, without looking into what they were worth probably 25 years ago. Couldn't seem to find ammo or cases to reload. I didn't like it as a show piece enough to care.

Well did some digging around in my stash of stuff and I do have 11 boxes of factory 200?gr Winchester pony rider boxed ammo And fixed 4x m8 or a vx2 matte Leupy I May put on this rifle and finally shoot it I know I’ve had it at least 15 years so maybe it’s time to knock the dust off it (always used 35rem and 444 and 45-70 since I had way more ammo for them )

You won’t be disappointed - it won’t do any more than the cartridges you typically use but it will have a uniqueness about it the others won’t - it’s a rare bird!
My brother had a 375 Marlin for a while. When prices started going up he sold at a handsome profit. He could do even better today. Those guns have gone crazy in value. It is worth a lot more than the 300 WSM. If you don't want to use it, sell it. But this isn't a fair trade for you.
I actually like the 300 WSM, but not in the FWT stock. They used sporter barrels in those cartridges and they just look WRONG in that stock.
Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.
Jmr40 Agreed I have 3 a bolts (medallion stainless stalker and a synthetic stalker in 300 wsm and a custom heavy barrel on a 700 action I love the caliber) but after this I’m gonna hold on to this 375
