Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Africa Help Choosing .375 H&H

For me CZ or a Withworth or BRNO. Basically all CRF Mauser designs. Browning other than an FN Mauser action no. Ask what your PH suggests. Bet you will find the above on his list.

No one mentioned a Zastava or only indirectly as a Whitworth.

There were some great deals on these and if it is a rifle you will have tweaked by a gunsmith anyway these would be a great starting point.

FWIW, if I didn't already own a Sako AV in 375 H&H, I'd go with the M70! Actually, I have an extra Winlite (McMillan) stock waiting for a SS M70 in 375 H&H.

Since I own a Winchester in 375 and am expecting a Zastava in 3006 which, hunting gods willing, will one day be stablemates with a 375 I'd say either of those two. I recently was in the Texas Hill Country and visited with gunsmith Tip Burns who was working on a few of the Zastavas and a couple of Whitworths. They are the same and they are commercial FNs as he was quick to point out. What's not to like? They fed beautifully and have a satisfying Mauser feel. Then again, a well tuned Winchester is no slouch.

I'd say get the one which feels best. Between the two the Whitworth Express rifle in 375 feels the most 375-ish to me in the hand. In fact, that stock feels so good I'd have no problem putting a 25 or 26" barrel on it providing it was scaled to match the proportions of the stock though I'd probably keep them both at 24".
