I have a gap between 30-06 and 375H&H. Don't have a want or a need but if I were to fill it, it would be with a 338-06. In my dotage I am tending to fill gaps below 30 cal.
I am continually astounded at how quickly people make up their minds on little evidence or none at all. Jack O'Connor

Nice. That's the way I'd have to go for most medium bores as they are either too expensive or not to be found except online. Being in PA I have no need for a 375 but this was all about want...not need.

Alaska and Africa are high on the want lists too. Maybe someday but not someday soon.

Probably best to spend 3x more and get a nice CZ or Win 70 in the H&H. But I very likely won't ever make it to Africa. But still...you get what you pay for.. cz/win or mossberg. Hmmmm

I live in New Mexico and I used the .375's for jackrabbits. Just cause it is more for large game does not mean it cannot be used.

If I get one I'll take them. I'll have to check cdnn. They had m77 300 and 338 rcm's dressed in walnut for the longest time for like $399 or so.

.375 RUM and jackrabbit. It's called "practice" the more you practice with a rifle (no matter the caliber) the better you will get.

35 Norma is not a magnum length action.
Well we're Green and we're Gold, and we play better when it's cold. All us Cheese heads have our favorite superstar. We love Brett Favre.
