Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Express Rifles and Big Bores Only The "Let's See Your 375" Thread!

I'm itchin' badly to get mine out and shoot it, so I thought we could do a little 375 thread... whether it be H&H, Ruger, RUM, Steyr, Taylor, whatever! Loads, targets, rifle pics, you name it. Figured it'd be cool to get away from all the gun-garble and have a cool thread!

Here's mine...

Mine......for now......it's on the block....

Chit, wish I could post pics

BTW, nice rifles Gents.

You guys are making me extremely jealous.......... how do I post an image..this makes me crazy.

OK, my bride figured this out for me. First pic posted. Here is my " will be a .375 ". FN Mauser donor plus Duane Wiebe bottom metal. It still needs the rest of the important parts....a good barrel and stock.

Set up a PhotoBucket account, upload the pics from your hard-drive, and then copy the Image Code. Really easy!

Tanner, you make it sound so easy.

Here's a shot of my .375 Ruger that I had built on a FN action(Model 50 JC Higgins). The 21" barrel is a McGowan.

Very nice there Mauser98........that is what mine will be chambered for. Tell us more about yours. Thanks.

Mauser, that is very nice! How do you like it with the 21" barrel?

Some GORGEOUS rifles, fellas !!!!!!

I think I'm ashamed to post mine, now.

My barreled action was put together by Bill Leeper. Besides the normal bolt face/extractor work, he also had to take quite a bit of metal from the rails and maybe, the ramp. As it is, the rifle feeds better than it did when it was a .270 Win.

We used the original bottom metal and get 3 down. Bill modified the extractor to snap over a 4th round. We kept the original FN safety.

The barrel band is a Talley and the bolt handle is a Talley-style that is much easier on the knuckle during recoil than was the original. The trigger is a Timney.

My mods to the original stock include lengthening the LOP, installing internal cross-bolts and re-bedding. I also added some ebony trim. I finished the metal with a slow rust blue.

All up, the rifle weighs just under 9 lbs.

I really like the shorter barrel. If there's any more noise or muzzle jump, I don't notice it. Some of the guys at the range may not agree about the noise.

I'm easily getting 2700 fps with 270 gr X's and over 2800 fps with 260 gr Noslers.

Heck Yoder, throw it out there, its all good I'd post mine if I could.

Here is mine. It is an Interarms (pre-mark x) that I bought from Luv2Safari here on the fire. The stock was redone by our own Karnis. It wears a Trijicon 3-9x40 with a red triangle.




Here is a typical group with a 270gr TSX over 75 grains of Rl 15.

That'll work AFTERUM, that Karnis is "THE" walnut doctor.

Standard issue Alaskan....

Well........... O.K. You asked for it. It would be better posted in a thread titled "Show us Your Fugly .375 Thread!!".

It's an A-Bolt Stainless Stalker. Started life as an H&H. I had my smith run a Weatherby reamer through it, true things up, install a Limbsaver pad, crisp the trigger and set it to 40 oz. It's scoped with a Weaver V10 in Leupold rings and DDT bases (all with 8-32 screws and bases glassed).

It weighs 8.5 lbs. loaded & ready to go. I run, primarily, 250 gr. SGK's over a handful of H-414 for 3060 fps @ the muzzle.

It's ugly as a mud fence. But it shoots lights out and has accounted for my one and only B&C entry. Guess I'll keep it.

in chronological order:

.376 Steyr. short and handy, but a little too strange, even with a round bolt handle swap (since the pic)



then the .375 H&H AI from a guy in AK. it has a few brown bear, a couple of black bear and a wolf to it's credit



then the SPS in .375 Ultra dropped into an AK Ti stock with the short bedding blocks.



and that one led me to the XCR II, also in .375 Ultra. this one is in a slightly heavier B&C AK Ti with the full bedding stock. still less'n 8.25# though.
