My first .375 H&H was a twin to that rifle. Accurate with most hand loads. Very accurate with RL15...

Also had the twin to that rifle but mine was 416 rem. Kicked like a spun up Mule and also loved RL-15. For some reason I was getting phenomenal velocities way higher than load data would indicate. Wonderful rifle but ghastly on the recoil.

Although this picture is at least from 25 years ago, it shows my Sako 375 H&H Deluxe Lefty. I always wondered why mine doesn't have two cross bolts? IIRC it a Stoeger Import. Btw, that's a Pennsylvania trophy buck from the 90's that probably dressed out at less than 100lbs. It was an easy drag..... (Dr. Gary Alt rectified that problem) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/tlLeyhS.jpg)

Had one few years ago just could not bring myself hunt with it. Was to pretty to beat up. Kinda my experience too. Years ago I bought a Deluxe lefty .30-06 that I found at closeout (<$600 IIRC). It was so pretty and shiny I couldn't bring myself to scope or shoot it let alone drag it through the woods. Ended up selling it for a small profit

Is $1850 a pretty good price? They used to sell for $750-900 range. They do come up for sale once in awhile. I would rather buy a Winchester for roughly the same price. We live in wild times and IMO this is a $1200-1400 rifle.
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

So hard to find a lefty of anything especially now with the supply problems. Heck 6.5Creedmoor ammo is hard to find in stores around me.
