Dirtfarmer, A very nice rifle! I need another .375, like I need more income taxes. But, given the opportunity to buy a Model 70 SS, I’d keep the barrel at 24”, cut as much weight as is practical, and run an AI reamer in it, and drop a Leupold 2.5-8 or 3.5-10 in Leupold QD base/rings on it. Then, I’d have another rifle that doesn’t get enough use. But, she’d be a beautiful “safe queen”! wink memtb

You should not use a rifle that will kill an animal when everything goes right; you should use one that will do the job when everything goes wrong." -Bob Hagel
