Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Express Rifles and Big Bores Only 375 Chatfield-Taylor gets a face lift.

I had this one in for a facelift .....

Here it is in the "budget" form, Model 700 BDL complete with Rem factory front sight and B&C stock. Action was barreled up by Bevan King in BC.




The 22" stainless King bbl got a set of NECG sights, action, bbl and sights got a bead blast and blueing job. Stock was replaced with a Boyds laminated with Decelerator. I shortened the forend and hogged out the buttstock and forend to reduce weight. R&B are all steel Warne QD Weaver style. With the 2.5x8 it weighs 9.25lbs as shown, but I have a VXIII 1.5x5 on the way to replace the larger scope.

Dennis Sorenson in BC did all the metal and bedding work on the gun with his usual excellence and very fast turnover. His kind advice helped me do the finish on the stock.

Oh, Dat looks more better!

I'm guessing at the answer..
But did you shoot those irons in before mounting the scope?

Very Nice . . . . .

I am glad that Ruger Bought out the 375 Ruger and solved the 375 action length issue.

Otherwise, I would have made a "taylor"

What caliber did it start out as? Any problems with getting it to feed the larger round? I'm looking to do a Browning A-Bolt I in .300 Win Mag to .416 Ruger. Nice looking gun.

7mm RemMag


None what so ever as the 375CT is based on the 338WM case.


The A-Bolt would be the LAST gun I would rebarrel to a heavy caliber as the buttstock is far too small.

Check out this pic. The top on was used on this rifle on the original B&C stock. The smallest one is off an A-Bolt in 375H&H ....OUCH!

Super Cub: Slick rifle!

What an ugly rifle in a horrible chambering.....

SuperCub those new sights look awesome, as does the rest of the makeover.

Very nice rig

Rifle looks vastly improved!

I think the deck needs some attention though..

momma always said "if you can't say something nice..."

Awesome rifle in a Cartridge that has always appealed to me... thought about building one, but with the 375 Ruger being available, probably never will

That's OK, I know that Wrongside fellow. He's a bit of a reprobate, so I expect nothing less from him.

Took long enough to get a nibble......

SC, I'm looking forward to more pictures of successful hunts with that fine rifle. The fall is coming quick!! Can hardly wait... Any plans for 'big stuff' or will it be a deer rifle this fall?

wahunterinrok, If your location is truly Mosul, Stay Safe and Thank You, Sir!

Timing is everything!


Prolly be a deer rifle this fall, although I might be hunting with a First Nations friend later in deer season. I'd let him blast a moose with it if the opportunity arose.

Is it bad that my 'troll timing' is off?

Biggest deer rifle in NB, eh? If it's scoped by the fall I'll likely tote my .375 for deer also, just cause.....

I have a 1.5x5 on the way. I wanna use the 2.5x8 on my 257Roberts.

Great caliber/scope pairings. In my not so expert opinion.

Looks like a working rifle from here...

I'd give it a make-over as opposed to a face lift, and punch that chamber out to a 375 Ruger, but that's just for me, and probably a waste of time as the CT is a fine round, but I'd still do it....
