I like to do my hunting BEFORE I pull the trigger! There is only one kind of dead, but there are many different kinds of wounded.

Dirtfarmer Campfire 'Bwana D Joined: Nov 2010 Posts: 37,223 Likes: 9 Central Louisiana	The NH Classic in .375 H&H is a tad barrel heavy. The 24" tube has the same contour, .458 and .416. Obviously the .375 bore leaves a lot more steel and weight. To me, those guns do MUCH better bobbed off to around 21". Handling is greatly improved. Those barrels are shooters, way too good to discard and replace. This one is 21", has NECG irons, balances and handles really well. The Tupperware stock isn't bad, not as good as a Legend, but $600 cheaper... DF

You'll like the fast handling and with a big bore, I don't think you'll lose enough velocity to tell the difference. Critters won't know, for sure... To me, a used NH M-70 Classic is a real value. You have the desired NH trigger, three position swing safety, CRF in a solid, near bullet proof package. What's not to like and prices aren't that bad. Considering what you get, maybe the best deal going. DF

Redneck had worked on it and it's super slick. This gun will cycle EMPTY cases from the mag as fast as I can work the action! Now, that's a well tuned action, those empty cases are hitting center chamber every time. Of course, it feeds rounds WITH seated bullets very well... DF

Model 798 that I bought for a return trip to Africa for a buffalo hunt but that idea has gone by the wayside. I purchased the gun from a master gunsmith that was preparing it for the Wounded Warrior Program.

378Canuck Campfire Tracker Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 5,796 Alberta	Originally Posted by Northerner Posted this in Hunting Rifles before Jorge told me this forum existed, so I will post here as well... Thinking of buying a rifle chambered in .375 H&H, particularly a model 70 Winchester. My question is: do I want the Alaskan or the Safari Express? I understand the differences, but I am interested in first hand experience people may have with either. Also, if anyone has any other rifles in this chamfering under the $2k mark I should be looking at please let me know...I'd like sto stick with a Mauser style bolt gun. Thanks for replies Northerner As mentioned earlier check out the 375 Vanguard Weatherby well under 2k, and worth every dollar. Good rifles are kept not sold!! Remember that. LOL It is better to be judged by 12 than to be carried by 6.

Mule Deer Campfire Kahuna M Joined: Jul 2001 Posts: 60,215 Likes: 26 Banana Belt, Montana	30338, I have a Whitworth .375 H&H as well. Dave Gentry told me that installing one of his 3-position safeties made the stock trigger work very well, because it didn't have to be adjusted to allow the sliding safety to work. So I had him install a 3-position, and he was right! “Montana seems to me to be what a small boy would think Texas is like from hearing Texans.” John Steinbeck
