Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Why do I need a .375 H&H?

Most folk in North America don't need a 375.

Buy it and get it out of your system, same reason I got a .458win then after little while said' ta-ta' to it..

10 yrs later I ordered the new release stainless classic M70 .375, picked it up and said I'm not carrying
that thing around, took a .338win instead no regrets.

Sounds like you need it as much as I need a 700 BDL. But that isn’t going to stop me.

That is a damn nice looking rifle!

Who DOESN'T own a 375 is a better question!

A 9,3x62 is just a much better cartridge!

...and that endorsement right there is reason enough for a 375h&h...

Me ...... BTDT several times.

Current "big gun" is a 30-06 with a possible 300H&H in the future. Gonna neck down my remaining 375 brass for the 300.

Most of the stuff I bought was just to get it out of my system. Most of it's down the road now and I wouldn't want too many back.

Thank you.

Used one of mine on a springbok in 2016.

You do not "need" it, but you certainly want it.

Buy it! Enjoy it, and send it down the road when you are done.

Everyone should have a 375.

Words to live by. At least I seem to have lived by them anyway.

A number of years ago I ran across a custom Win Model 70 in 458 Lott and I just had to have buy it. Beautiful wood. I didn't have plans for a hunt to use it but never the less I bought it. I have had it for over 20 years now. I still shoot it a couple times a year and clean it and back in the safe. I have considered selling it a few times but convince myself to keep it. I never regretted the purchase. Boy, it is fun to shoot.

I've the same rifle. When not used for fun at the range, It makes a good hunting rifle, especially for squirrels. Those lil' sons a donkey whores don't suspect anyone to shoot through the tree to get 'em. Also, the CZ550 is heavy enough for a light arms workout device. More toning/endurance than strength building, but still an ok way to keep one self moving.

A friend has a Daniel Frazier side lever single shot action which he plans to use for a 450-400.....someday.......I'm trying to get it from him and I'd have another 375 built. Why? I love custom single shots and it's a great caliber.

A .375 H&H is a handy thing to have around for all kinds of things:







My Krieghoff "Teck" O/U double rifle in .375 H&H. Tanzania, 1972.

I have a .375 H&H CZ 550 and it's probably the most accurate rifle I own. I am actually considering purchasing another .375 (if its still for sale in a couple of months) and I say this knowing my odds of going to Alaska or Africa are about the same as going to Mars.

Mine's a No. 1 and is one of the most accurate rifles I've ever owned. I absolutely don't 'need' it, but won't getting rid of it...

Walk through a trail of tall beach grass with bear track bigger than your boot print. And a 375 H&H seems small. Magazine full of 300 gr. Nosler partitions or Swift A-Frames gives me a warm feeling.
Good hunting
