I understand wanting the shorter barrel. I had 2" taken off of a Winchester Model 70 classic stainless .375 H&H just to make it a little handier, and I wish I had taken another 1 or 2 inches off of that. Our own "Redneck" here on the campfire cut the Winchester.

My NH M-70 SS Express .375 H&H handled much better, chopped to 21" and fluted. Have posted this before.
