Might not be what you were talking about, but it's a 375.
Sweet rig, and welcome to the Fire

This one is a little unusual, in that it started life as a .400/.350 Rigby, with a slant box, single square bridge, magnum Mauser action with a two diameter receiver ring. Back in the '70's, when there was no prospect of ammunition for the original Rigby caliber, it was rebarrelled to .375 H&H, a modification which Rigby was also known to carry out.

Mark I'm surprised to see windage adjustable Leupold mounts on that rifle...alot of the 'fire guys told me they are no good...especially on a hard kicker. So I used them on my .375 for 2200 rounds...then got rid of them....

Xausa...tell us more about your Mauser. Beautiful. Did they keep the original slant box when it was rebarreled to .375 ?
Do you have any closeups that you can share with all your pards ?

Ingwe-I've had no problemo with the 375 Wby, but I've not shot it near as much as I used to when it was a .340. As a .340 I went thru 2 barrels (thought it was a yote and pd gun...grin) and I went thru two sets of these type bases. Dober

The action retains the slant box. If I could locate the original barrel and stock, I would return it to the original condition in a heartbeat. I don't have closeups at the present, but I will see what I can do.

Wow! You must be a really good shot! Don't even need a scope!

That was the first day I got it. It wears a mark 4 LRT 4.5x14 and a 1.5x6 VX3 . Both on Leupold QRW rings.

One of the 2 .375's. This one is a .375RUM. It's a Lilja barrel on a Rem 700 action with a HS Sendero stock.
