I'd say PTG alloy unit.

I would agree.

The metal finish on the barreled action looks like the XCR model.

I would agree that the bottom metal is likely PT&G. The sights are factory Remington items, later production with a one piece front with the big white bead. I don’t think it’s an XCR, the were E nickel or something and had a gold tint to them, this one appears to be plain blasted SS to my eye.

I've almost convinced myself to keep the rifle...but reality keeps reminding me that I have zero need for a .375 HH Mag! wink

I'm not sure about the rest of the rifle but the sights are just Rem factory irons.

Remington probably gets those sights from Williams. There is nothing wrong with enhancements on rifle like this, because people are buying for hunting/use not to collect, therefore, quality components should realize hinger price than factory standard.

I must admit, need has never played into my buying and selling of firearms. I have three .375 H&H rifles and would never part with any of them. Unless you “need” to sell it, I would hang onto it. It’s a nice rifle.

250TTSX, take it elk hunting. 2800fps and a bullet w/BC of .4 isn't bad at all.

Nice FP ...... Sights are not reg. 700 factory sights either but the rear does look similar.

Nice rifle overall. I'd cut it back to 22", get it bedded and top it with a nice low powered scope. 1.5-5x20 or similar.

I would re-chamber to 375 Weatherby, then you could use 260gr Accubonds to smash deer way out to 500 or so, has the same trajectory as 180gr out of a 30-06.

Nice rifle, and as I use PT&G for all of my builds on Rem 700’s, my bet is it being one of theirs.
Stock looks like a HS Precision Sporter to me.

Cheers.

Well don't shoot it just keep your less than informed opinions about 375's and move along now.it's a nice looking outfit whether you need it or not. WTF does need have to do with it again?
