I have a buddy wanting to sell a very nice Winchester Model 94 in .375 Winchester. The gun looks brand new, save a few scratches on the stock. He is also offering up 5 boxes of ammo to go with it. Price for everything is $800.00. Thoughts on this deal?

That's a very good deal.
You've got $300 in ammo there lol.

Very good deal. Factory 375W ammo is $75-100 a box these days... if you can find it. Even just the brass is close to a buck a piece now.

Great deal. They had two versions. The first one was top eject so no scope but the receiver peep sight is great on these.. I had one in XTR.
The later guns were AE and were factory drilled fir the AE scope mounts.

I like my Winchester 375. I’ll never mount a scope on it. I’m using a Lyman steel aperture rear sight on mine. I replaced the front sight blade with a brass one.

Buy it now. Great price. I had an a AE when they first came out and put 2x Leupold, on it. Killed a few elk and deer with it , but that darn thing kicked so hard, I sent it down the road.
I had an 1886, 45-70 that didn't kick as bad

I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

I have a .375 Big Bore purchased new in `82. It's an early top eject model. It sports a Wiiliams receiver sight and an RLO carrying strap. It is wonderful.
I would buy the rifle and ammo combo, keep the rifle and sell the ammo! If you're not a handloader, you're going to have to start if you want to shoot this gun routinely. As far as I know, Sierra is the only non-custom jacketed bullet supplier left. They have a 200 gr jsp.
I think a hard cast gas checked bullet is the way to go, but recent events have made that more difficult. Leadheads went out of business and last year I gave Jet Bullets a go and was pleased. Now they are closed. If someone has a current supplier of commercial cast gas checked .377 diameter bullets I'd sure appreciate a tip.

I forgot to say that Starline .375 brass is back in stock from them at good prices.
