Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Africa Thoughts on Interarms/Whitworth for Safari

The Rem 798's are basically the same rifles only with laminated stocks. They can use a bit of slicking up but when that is done they are every bit as slick and reliable as any other CRF action. The barrels are usually very accurate as well.

I would give my a$$ and half of Georgia for a Whitworth Express or another Comm. FN in a .404....No, make that all of Georgia!

About a year before they closed down their NJ operation,Navy Arms had about a half dozen Whitworths for sale in .375 Weatherby (not .378).They also had another 3-4 barreled Whitworth actions in the same chambering.The rifles went for $175.00,the actions $125.00.So at least a few were also made in that chambering.Navy Arms regularly had oddball stuff on hand that you wouidn't find elsewhere.
I bought one of the rifles along with a matching 7x64.Two months later a guy gave me $400.00 for the .375 and I let it go.Been sorry ever since.Never got the reloading stuff together to make up some .375 Weatherby,so never did shoot any .375 H&H in it to fire form.

That groove is standard on th e.375. I wouldn't trade on for a M70, just slap a McMillan stock on it. I have a pair, as well as a number of FN's, they are tremendous hunting rifles, both here and in Africa.

Thanks j! Thats the plan now that I have more info..........

One of the better functioning rifles I have ever had in my hands. reflex264

I have a 375 H & H Whitworth and it is not marked Safari, Mark X. It just says 375 H & H and Whitworth. Are they all marked like the one I have? I have seen photos of some which have the front sling ring on the barrel not the stock forearm and a three tier rear sight. Can anyone bring me up to speed? I am also looking for any Interarms/Whitworth literature on the rifle and had no luck at all.

The other Mule Deer logging on now. I also saw one of the .404's at the Bozeman gun show maybe 5 years ago, and passed it up. Every time it appears in my memory I take a baseball bat and whack myself unmercifully in the forehead. I do have a somewhat customized .416 Rigby CZ with very good wood on it, but my notion has always been that we should have one of everything.)Note: not need, have.) I have also passed on a couple .458 Mark X's and regretted that a little, but not like the .404.

I have owned several .375's, but the one that always stays started out as a Whitworth barreled action that somebody had inexplicably put into a cheap plastic stock. I got it for $225 and after quite a bit of work (Gentry 3-position safety, walnut stock built to fit me, NECG irons installed by D'Arcy Echols, etc. it is probably one of the last 2-3 rifles I would ever part with, especially since it was the first rifle I ever took to Africa. It shoots just about everything well, and to pretty much the same POI as well.

My dad has one that he planned to take to RSA. Very well made rifle and shoots quite well to boot. I'd certainly take it without hesitation.

I have an Interarms Mark X chambered in 300 win mag. I have had it for about 7 years and although it has never been to africa, I have killed alot of deer with the rifle and love it!! The action is a little sloppy due to normal wear and tear, can anybody advise me on how to tighten up the action or where to find parts. It also has a composite stock and I would love to put a wood stock on it but don't know where to look. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and God bless.

I have one in .270 & I really like it.
