I have a 4 H shooter that lives in AK as a guide. I take his word, that a 375 in the wrong place, can be a bit on the light side. So I"ve written off that gun. Have a 338-378 in a #1 thats almost as big as one anyway...
Just want an stopping repeater with no questions asked.
Will look more for Whitworths. I don't like 3 position safety at all so I'd prefer not to end up with a 70... if at all possible.
I agree on SS/Synthetic. OTOH living there in AK in a few years I can probably figure out how to maintain a blued gun if need be.... salt bath nitride would be the first step. Everything costs though. LOL.
FIgure I could find a used 458 at some point, someone that didn't like the recoil or just bought for a single safari or such etc....
