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

Nice Rifle Tanner, just wish it wasn't backwards...LOL!

Bluefish....kinda hard not to like a .375 with express sights. Great looking rifle.

Hey tanner I can't tell from the pic did you remove the re-sight ? I was looking at geting one of the xcr2 how do you like it

Here's my Whitorth in .375 Holland. I chopped the barrel from 24 to 22 inches and added a Decelerator pad to make it more user friendly. It still has the sliding safety.....a 3-position wing safety is being mulled. It shoots 300 Noslers, 300 Sierra BTs and 300 Hornady solids all into the same POI. Average group size is under 1.5".

Right now, it's wearing a Zeiss Conquest 1.8x5.5 scope. Here it is in Africa mode. In Alaska mode it wears a B&C Carbellite stock.

Nice dawaba!

Here's Mine. Not real pretty but nail driving accurate. Stainless Model 70, Talley QR mounts, Leupold 2.5x8x40 scope.

There sure are a lot of good looking/shooting .375s on this thread. My Wby DGR in .375 Wby too is not as handsome as many, but it shoots like a champ. I really like a lot of the wood-stocked rifles above, and I was torn about that when buying mine, but I ended up going for synthetic because I was going to use it in Alaska in the fall, where it's all wet, all the time (except weirdly on my hunt). And I know many wood-stocked rifles have handled the rain in countless environments. I just didn't want to worry about it. Plus, it showed up on GB used, but unshot with 6 boxes of ammo for less than the price of the rifle. So, I may put a prettier stock on it at some point, but I thought it would suit me well for my purposes at the time, and it did.

Here it is next to its little .340 Accumark brother:

Nice rifle/bear combo!

So, do you, as I was contemplating above, keep a wooden stock on it for Africa because it looks so darned good, but put the synthetic one on for the wetter conditions up north? Or does the wooden stock also have any other advantage for you in Africa?

How does that work on whitetails in Texas?

Like most oldtimers, I love the look and feel of wooden stocks. However, in wet, nasty climes like most of Alaska, there is no denying the practicality of a synthetic stock. I bought an inexpensive Carbellite and bedded it to the barreled action (the Whitorth has a separate under-barrel recoil lug that must be bedded too). Then I slather all the metal surfaces with paste wax or EEzox prior to affixing the Syn stock. After I get home, I clean up the metal and spray the syn stock with a coat of flat black from a rattle can.

For hunting in dry weather, I like the wood. I do my best to protect the finish, and I've found that a dab from a little bottle of Tru-Oil will hide most blemishes.

This arrangement works for me, but I certainly have no truck whatsoever with a guy who prefers wood--or synthetic-- 100% of the time. As for deer, I've never tried the Whitworth on a whitetail. I bet it would work though!

Good Day All! New here to posting been lurking for many years. But I've decided to play a little! Especially when it comes to the 375's one of my favorite subjects. Here's my Win M70 375H&H soon to be able to dress her in a African Style ie what you see & Alaskan Style with a McMillan stock being built for her now.

Very nice, Wild Bill! What McMillan stock you order?

Nothing real special just their Winchester Supergrade version with Olive & black splatter. I'm looking forward to it then I need to decide on another scope. 3-9x40 or ????

That sure is a beauty!! I'd be proud to own that one..Very nice..

Dang this thread just makes me want to take my 375 out of the safe and rub it a few times

Just pop a round off the back porch. That's what I do.

LOL I gotta move where I can do that!

That's lovely Wild Bill. There's a left-handed one in the UK I've been very tempted to get my mitts on. Trying to think of any reason not to, and a useful justification.

DaveIRL that's simple...Don't think of it as a Big Bore with a Really Big Boom. Quit frankly it's a 30/06 that just shoots heavier bullets. I use mine for everything in the US West. Besides you living in the UK...It should be mandatory to own a 375H&H. LOL
