Not a lefty... but this is a frickin' steal of a deal!

Good guy bump

I just saw and handled this rifle and I can tell you the pics do not do it justice. It is beautiful and very well balanced. Perfect in every way and I'd agree that it's a steal at this price.

I've had a few deals with and met the seller and he is one of the good guys.

Thank you, 257 and TDN.

Also, length of pull is 13.75"

Couple questions:

Do you have an accurate weight on the bare rifle? Are the rings included, what are they?

And who did the stock/gunsmithing work?

NB

An awesome rifle and an awesome caliber/cartridge. I carried one for many years. Outstanding rig for the bigger stuff. I also killed many elk and deer with mine.

The rifle is about 9 pounds. It comes with the rings, which are Tallay lightweights. The stock work was completed by my dad as his personal rifle. He has been doing stockmaking primarily for himself for about 40 years. I think his work rates with some of the better known stock makers, but he doesn't do it for the public.

The rings have been lapped to the rifle.

Well, it certainly looks like your dad did a beautiful job on that stock.

Makes me wish I were lefty. Bump for a good guy and nice rifle in a very neat chambering!

Nice !

All I feed my 375wby are handloads using fireformed 375h&h brass, which isn't hard to find.

I also can't believe this isn't snagged yet.

If I recall correctly, the great Alaska guide, Hal Waugh, carried a .375 Weatherby Model 70 that he called Big Nan.

I've always wanted one, but now I have so many in very close calibers.

Someone "needs" this.

It was the Hal Waugh book that first got me interested in the .375 WEA. We were teaching out on the Alaskan Peninsula 600 air miles from the nearest road. There was a copy of that book in the Fisherman's Cabin where we wintered.

Hal Waugh was the #1 Registered Alaskan Brown Bear Guide. "Big Nan" was well proven during the Golden Years.

I have that book too, packed away somewhere, and it got me interested in bear hunting back in the 1980's. Unfortunately, work and life got in the way, but I had a LH .375 H&H made up for it. Never used it there after we sold the local airline (Wien) but I did use it in Africa.

A photo of Big Nan is on the book's cover. My, did I ever study the pros and cons (e.g., taper) of the old .375 Weatherby cartridge over the years, coming out positive.
