Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting 358 STA or 358 Norma Magnum for deer?

Do you "feel" the recoil of the 375 as being less than the 338 running 250s?

How much does your 375 weigh, Bob?

Have an friend in the North who is an accomplished still-hunter of mature whitetails, I admire his skill--he uses a 375 H&H....

I prefer the 7x57 for that, myself...:)

Both recoil substantially,but are manageable to me.Either is more user friendly than a full length Holland case blown out for 338 or 375 diameter bullets IMHO.

One of my 375's weighs 8 pounds on the nose scoped.The other two weigh 9 pounds,app.

Hard to beat a 7x57 for shooting whitetails in the pucker brush;I use a 270 or 30/06 meself,but have used the 7mm a bit.I like it...hell I like them all!

Some better pictures. M70 with 23inch shilen, Mcmillan supergrade stock, williams bottom metal, leupold 1.75-6, talley lightweight mounts. 7.5lbs empty

that is a nice rifle and a very interesting cartridge. The action then as I understood from the discussions was a 375 H&H action. This was a more recent New Haven action?

Gosh I cannot imagine anything you could not shoot with it!

It started out life as a M70 classic synthetic matte in 375H&H. Probably made in the early 90's.

It was a lot more fun to shoot as a 375.

I know....BTDT
