SuperCub For ammo do you go down on 458 or up on 338 or is there some place you can get 375 C-T Brass? thanks for your time. Cheers NC I've used 338WM brass in the past. It works fine and is easier to find in this neck of the woods than 458. .

Here is one I had built years ago. 375H&H built on a Whitworth action. I no longer own this rifle. Terry Man, I love that rifle. Who did the work, and who made that stock??

Here is how it looked last year: I got home and decided that the stock was too short and the barrel too long, so added to the LOP and gave it a paint job. The trigger has been changed and the barrel shortened to 23 inches since this picture was taken. More or less, this is what it looks like now:

Whatever happened to John Ricks? Is still still around and building?

I don't think John is building anymore.

This is a very good-looking rifle! I am very curious as to who makes your sling? Looks like a nice piece of leather. Also how is a sub 8# to shoot?

Scenarshooter here on the board made that sling. Montana Slings the sub 8# .357 Ultra is a handfull, but not punishing to shoot. eye relief is your friend.

Looks good handwerk, handling and balance come out good?
JOC was right. The 270 Winchester on a Model 70 is a great combination as is the 30/06 and 375 H&H

Here's mine, Brevex Mauser by Roger Biesen: It's kind of embarrassing; it shoots even better than my very accurate .220 Swift. Without a doubt, the nicest looking 375 I have seen. Awesome!!!

Just want to take a moment to publicly say thanks to Redneck for doing a little more work on my 375 he put together last year. I know he helps cut corn this time of the month and he easily could have put me off until afterward but, he didn't and he took care of the issues and he says it is working perfectly well as it should. As soon as I get it back it's going back out for an NP3 treatment on the internals.
Lee has certainly earned my business through his professionalism and competence. I urge others to take advantage of his abilities. Thanks, buddy! I emailed forum member Tanner some additionsl pics Lee took and perhaps he'll post them here. As a side note it sits in an Echols Legend stock and for my money it's the best synthetic on the market today.
Thanks again, Lee. I am already looking forward to our next project.

Here's my Ruger Hawkeye African 375 Ruger, in its McMillan McWoody stock, and an Asian Water Buffalo taken in Argentina. It's a MOA shooter, and with the McMillan, a very tolerable shooter.
