Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Express Rifles and Big Bores Only .375 H&H

For $525 (price including stock) it was bedded,painted and the recoil pad put on. It weighs just over 9 lbs and it does not kick like a mule and a donkey anymore.

BSA,the balance is the same as with the old stock,at least in my hand it is.

Already killed a couple jackrabbits with it.

Here is my .404J build on a SS-M-70 RUM donor with D'Arcy's Legend stock, Williams bottom metal, painted with brown Aluma-hyde. The Legend handles great.

I picked up an Interarms mark X and really love it . Nice rifles

Broke it in on a management quota doe

Man, you hard on dem wabbits...

Thought yo wabbit gun was a .460 Wby...

Our jackrabbits "especially cheeky."

Going to hunt them in September when it cools off. It was 105* yesterday at 6:00 pm.

92* here, but the heat index is 106*. I did some shooting this AM, got pretty hot around noon and I came in.

Guess I spend too much time in an AC office, can't take too much of this tripple digit stuff.

DF

It's in the upper 70's to low 80's here in the morning. By 9 o'clock in the morning it's already to hot.

Right now it's 100*,can't wait for Summer to be over!

That's cool. Especially the jackrabbit part.

Beautiful interarms mkX. I've had them. they are exceptional rifles.

Used the 270 gr Hornady RN on them,no pics as they were ummm well,lets just say the pics would've been gruesome.

. No worse than shooting them with shotgun slugs... Ask me how I know that...

I know what you're saying.

I've hunted Speed Goats in NE NM, even got into the Kiowa Grasslands on one trip. It's good to have those goats in the truck and on ice by 9 AM if possible. That's happened a few times.

Shot them a 250 gr NP from a .340 Wby,interesting to watch body parts fly up into the air about 30 feet.

DF,yeah hunting antelope in this heat,meat care is first and foremost.

We heard some of the natives calling them "stink goats". One local had a pronghorn carcass hanging from an old International tractor front end loader as we entered the ranch. That goat was still hanging when we drove back by his house; our goats were already on ice. I'm sure they're "stink goats" handled like that. And it was August...

Us Cajuns are particular about our game animals, take good care of the meat. Pronghorns are good eating if one takes care of the meat.

I haven't tried my .375 on pronghorns, used 6.5-284 and .240. I'm sure it would work...

About like it does on NM wabbits...

DF

And when they took those animals home to eat,their wives probably never let them hunt antelope again.

Yup antelope is good eatin' if one takes care of the animal once it hits the ground.

I've used a 6mm-284,.25/06,.270 Win and 7mm Rem Mag on antelope. I hunted antelope in Wyoming in 1990,1992 and 1993,plus here in New Mexico.

Pick up an extra mag spring before you head out somewhere. M70 is a fine rifle but that spring seems to be a weak point. I’m on my third! (Or, just make darned sure you never stuff ‘one more’ in the mag when you’re excited! )

Great idea. Any M70/Mauser traveling kit should include a spare follower spring and a spare extractor.Easy prevention and maintenance.

Not that you will need them....but you might. Good reminder....a need a spare follower spring and a couple of standard case extractors for my kits.

I love reading the posts of the faithful sitting at the alter of the all around "King" worldwide game slayer, The Great 375 Holland & Holland Magnum!

Well Gunner,I do use another .375 for jackrabbits,the .375 RUM.



Used a 300 gr Hornady on this one.

A no contact flyby would probably askeer him to death.
