Been too many years since a .375 has been in the safe. Time to rectify that..Let’s see what you guys have. Metric guys can play too!

Just an old M70 that someone rechambered from an H&H to a Wby. As a 300 Wby it never shot for beans. Had JES rechamber/rebore to 375 Improved. It’s been a champ.

Here's my little custom Mauser in the Wildcat 375/350. Very handy, light, compact rifle that packs a punch.

[Linked Image from i.imgur.com] [Linked Image from i.imgur.com] [Linked Image from i.imgur.com]

First shot was the bullseye, clicked it up to where I wanted it. Last 2 shots hit a little right, I don't remember my rifles shaking as much as they do now!

Using the Barnes 235gr TSX or the Speer 235gr Hot-Cor over IMR4064. Haven't used a chronograph yet, but both shoot very good.

While it's a little much for Wisconsin WT deer, hoping to get on a S TX Nilgai hunt with it (not looking for anything about that in this post).

I don’t know how anyone can shoot a group, let alone an animal with a 375. I had never shot one and a friend wanted me to sight his in. On a bench with sandbags it was too brutal for me and he got a 1 shot group…

The 375 Win isn't bad... after I put a decelerator pad on it. The factory plate kept catching me funny and biting the bejeezus out of my shoulder. Felt recoil is not nearly as harsh as 444 or 45-70 to me.

I HAVE TOO AGREE , i own a couple of 375 H&H rifles and off the bench they are miserable to shoot , the older i get the more i hate to shoot my bigger cartridges . now days i prefer my 6 BR or my 22 K-Hornet to shoot off the bench . matter fact i am going even quit shooting and hunting my 257 Weatherby much and start using a 257 Roberts more .

At 70, I’m wondering when I’ll reach that point……I hope that it’s not soon! 😉 Though I’ll readily admit that 60 ft/lb from the bench with my 9# 1 oz (scoped, loaded, slung) AI is close to my bench limit! memtb

My first Win.Model 70 (on right) that I got in the early ‘80’s. Love the rifle, shoots unbelievably good…..very tame on the bench, but far too heavy to hunt with.

The one on the left is my Win. Model 70 (semi-custom) AI that I had put together starting in late ‘89 and received in Feb of ‘90! Light enough (9 lbs 1 oz fully loaded ready to hunt) to hunt with without punishment on the bench. It’s been my only hunting rifle since I got it!

When I had it built, I thought I wanted a brake (wasted money)…..removed it, never to be seen again. Hell…..I might have used it for a trout line sinker! 😉 I do use a PAST recoil shield when shooting from the bench, I started using it about 5 or 6 years ago…. This getting old stuff sucks! 😁

My AI isn’t as pretty as many shown here……but, it’s a well used “hunting” rifle. I just got (Birthday/Christmas) 4 boxes of Barnes 270 gr. LRX’s which I will build a load with this summer…..hoping for accuracy and 3000+ velocity! memtb

The technique from a bench is to set up the equipment so your torso is as erect as possible when firing. I have a pile of Caldwell sandbags I use when working with the 375 & 400.

Low front & back shooting rests and a low seating position results in a hunched over shooting posture that's guaranteed to deliver recoil to a torso not positioned to roll with the punch.

'Course lightweight "mountain rifles" chambered in these cartridges doesn't help either...


It's you and the bullet, and all the rest is secondary.

I’m not there yet…..but think it’s doable! I got 3160, with no obvious issues, with my 250 TTSX’s, before backing down to 3130 for accuracy reasons! 3K + may be a “pipe dream” …but it’s a goal to “shoot” (pun intended) for! 😉 memtb

I'm in the .375s suck camp.

Several years ago I had one in a 700 Classic. I shot a good bit of paper with it along with some really good groups. Shot a deer with it for kicks and sold it. Recently got to wanting another one for a buffalo hunt and found an Interarms WhitWorth. I do not remember my 700 being that snappy. The gun, while shootable is not enjoyable at all. The buffalo hunt isn't gonna happen any-time soon anyway and that gun is now down the road. Various 300s and 338s are fine, but the .375 is where I draw the line.

I sold my 375 H&H Whitworth because it was 'too much fun'. I only had it to the range once. I suspected poor stock fit for me.

I built my .375 RUM for a Cape Buffalo hunt in Zimbabwe in 2005. It's a 26" stainless Rem 700 barreled action that I put in a Richards laminated stock. I pillar and glass bedded the action, glass bedded the barrel channel and free floated the barrel, and fitted a Limbsaver pad on it. I then hand checkered the stock with my favorite 5 panel wrap around checkering pattern.

The first time that I took it out to the range it kicked so bad that I didn't finish sighting it in. A KDF muzzle brake tamed the recoil enough that I could develop 3 shot moa loads with 300 grain Barnes TSX bullets at 2900 fps.

[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]

I took it to the Eastern Cape of South Africa in 2007 for a strictly plains game hunt. For that hunt I worked up another 3 shot moa load, this time with 700 grain TSX bullets at 3043 fps. For that hunt I added a recoil reducer in it's shock which further tamed it's recoil enough that I comfortably shot several animals from prone positions.
[Linked Image from i.imgur.com] [Linked Image from i.imgur.com]

It then sat in my safe until 2021 when I took it to SW Alaska for a Brown Bear hunt. On this hunt I worked another 3 shot moa load for it with 281 grain Hammer Hunter bullets at 3034 fps.

In all honesty, I haven't shot it on paper since, but have shot 1 elk with it.

Now, a No. 1 458 Win Mag was a different story. 1 round and handed it back to the owner - that was miserable grin

I took it to the Eastern Cape of South Africa in 2007 for a strictly plains game hunt. For that hunt I worked up another 3 shot moa load, this time with 700 grain TSX bullets at 3043 fps. For that hunt I added a recoil reducer in it's shock which further tamed it's recoil enough that I comfortably shot several animals from prone positions.

It then sat in my safe until 2021 when I took it to SW Alaska for a Brown Bear hunt. On this hunt I worked another 3 shot moa load for it with 281 grain Hammer Hunter bullets at 3034 fps.

700grs at 3034fps would be pretty sporty!

just kidding, jealous of all your hunting adventures.

Did you happen to hunt that brown bear with a fella named Bob Coolie? Or maybe Cooley. Not sure how it's spelled.

Winchester Model 70s, mostly Classics.

Left to right...

7STW re-barreled to 375H&H with a Pac-Nor tube and Cerakoted. My pet of pets! It's taken 5 leopards, two or three buffalo, a couple hippos and most of the plains game. Sable, roan, eland, kudu, zebra, etc.

Stainless 300 Weatherby turned into a 375 Weatherby with a Lilja barrel. Cerakoted. Took my best buff and a bit of plains game with it.

7STW rebuilt into a 375 RUM with a Lilja pipe. It will soon be off to get blued. It takes a lot to get the RUM shells to feed! May take it to Namibia this year to break it in.

BACO Alaskan 375H&H in a Supergrade Featherweight Stock.

Stainless Classic, McMillan Supergrade stock.

All the scopes are Swaro PHs 1.5-6x 42 in DD rings.

I'm a huge pre-64 fan, but your classic is my favorite rifle I've seen in this thread.

Yes, Bob Couey. And after my bear hunt we went up to his cabin near Lake Louise where I feasted on more blueberries and cought close to 200 graylings.

And for those of you that caught my "700 grain TSX bullets at 3043 fps" typo, thanks, my proof reader has been reprimanded! They were really 300 grain bullets.

No. I bought it here a number of years ago. Factory barrel that was cut and fluted and bedded in what was advertised as a Brown Pound'r. It did unsuccessfully chase brown bear in 2015.

I had a run of 375s a few years ago along with a few other med bores in 35cal. My "BIG GUN" now is a 35Remington. All else is 30cal and under.

This was the last 375 I owned. Sold it after taking it to the Yukon. Shot a couple moose and a caribou with it while I owned it.

CZ 550 Safari Magnum in .375 H&H, upgraded by AHR in a B&C stock, topped with a Swarovski Z6i 1-6x24EE CD-i. It will certainly be the very last rifle I ever get rid of. Shot my first cape buffalo, a moose, a handful of plains game with it. It's heading to Zim on backup duty for elephant/hippo this May loaded with CEB 300gr Safari Solids running 2550fps for sub MOA groups, nicely paired with the corresponding 275gr thick-skin Safari Raptors.

Great looking rifle, but the front sight fell off. What velocities do you get with 270s and 300s with with the .375/338?

I ran into you at Mark Demlow's "Illiaska" lodge in Iliamna. I was up there guiding for bear and was between hunts. Nice to see a picture of your bear!
