I have an opportunity to pick up a Winchester model 70,stainless in .375 H&H magnum,CRF, factory Tupperware stock and sights. Trying to decide if it is a bargain ,has only had 20 ads through it. Pictures show it to be in excellent condition,although I have no real need for a big bore it intrigues me. Guy is asking just under $1000 is that a good value? Thanks

This was a topic in the Winchester forum a few days ago.

I think if you can get it for below $1000 it would be a fair price. I purchased one in 2013 for $750 in similar shape that you describe and felt I got a good deal. In todays market that $750 would be $1000.

5, 6 or 7 digit classic? That is my only question. Like I said in the other thread, easily worth $1,200.00. I ran across a supergrade classic 375 H&H yesterday, but the shop wanted way too much money for it ($1,800.00)...

The 7 digit stainless classics were never made in the 375 H&H. 2002 last year they were catalogued. 2003 was the switch to 7 digits and 375 H&H stainless is absent from the catalog. If one can get one for $1200 they better jump on it.

That's not a bad deal. Those are great guns. I picked up mine here on the Classifieds a few years ago, seems it was $850 or so. I had it chopped and fluted, NECG irons installed. I re-bedded the Tupperware with Steel Bed. I sorta like this stock, the way it feels and fits. And I don't worry about scratching it.

I probably have $1,200 in it by now, would take a good bit more than that for me to turn it loose. They really shoot, very accurate guns.

I've posted this one a number of times. Just wanted to give an idea what 21" looks like, It sure does handle better than the OEM 24" heavy barrel.

1.5-6x42 Zeiss Victory worth more than the gun, but you can't shoot what you can't see. I've had the comment from an Africa hunter, what a good rig this would be for Leopards. .375 H&H classic round, Victory scope legendary for low light clarity and definition. I think that's probably right, although I have no plans to hunt Leopards. I need to kill a few WT's with this one. There always seems to be a project or two ahead of that idea. But, who knows, maybe one of these days

I just bought one in similar condition for $1,200. I would most definitely buy one for just under $1,000. In fact, since you don’t have a need for it, I’d be happy to buy the one you know about as a back up should you decide you don’t want it, after all.

Karl Kampfeld is one of the best for flutes, etc. Also good for builds, finishes, etc. I've had competing smiths compliment his work. Ya really good especially when yo competition says you good...

He can do the chop, crown, fit NECG irons, etc. Nice guy to deal with, prices reasonable, turnaround time not bad.

Aussiegunwriter,

The way my safe is set up, I store bolt guns with bolts open. They take up less room that way.

Cocked, but no round, no BOOM... grin

I paid 1200 for a like new 5 digit stainless classic 375HH here on the campfire about 3 maybe 4 months ago. I was happy to pay the 1200 because they don’t pop up all that often and when they do people buy them right away. There was one for sale here for 1350 about a year ago, I hesitated and it sold in less than an hour of being posted.

They’re generally very good, sometimes need tweaking. They have the desirable old style trigger, are generally very accurate. And they aren’t making any more. BACO’s are good but to those preferring New Haven guns, prices will not be going down. Glad I have mine.

Very few BACO stainless 375’s out there. SHOT special and limited number. They usually bring as much or more than the Classics.

If I remember right the stainless BACO’s were put in laminated stocks.
