OP Biebs Campfire Tracker B Joined: Jan 2012 Posts: 4,662	Renowned gunsmith Jim Kobe asked me to list his pair of pre-64 Winchester Model 70 rifles, chambered in 375 and 300 H&H. The pair were made in the 1959-1960 period, and are completely original save for a pad added to the 300 H&H. The LOP is now longer on that rifle. This would make a traditional pair for African hunting $3,599 for the pair Here's the 375 H&H And here's the 300 H&H [img]https://i.postimg.cc/BnGr5S5Y/300-3.jpg[/img] Last edited by Biebs; 02/07/21.

Agreed, the 375 alone would sell north of 3K$ for anyone who knows what they are and seeking one. I would not sell mine for that price. I have both those calibers as well.

The 300 H&H was NOT CUT when the pad was installed....LOP is now 14 1/2". Checkered steel buttplates for older Model 70 rifles are available on ebay and other sources, from $10 to $50, if you wanted to bring it back to original form. Quite the classic, traditional pairing.
