Been a few years since I saw you post regularly......had forgotten what an ass you can be. I hate change, it's never for the better....

That should cheer you up............ Brad says: "Can't fault Rick for his pity letting you back on the fire... but pity it was and remains. Nothing more, nothing less.

If a rifle is completely dependable, even under extreme conditions, and has the ability to shoot less than MOA accuracy after thousands of rounds I don't know what more you could expect or want. To me a rifle is a tool to accomplish a job, and I am more interested in how it functions over how it looks sitting in a gun case. But that's just me, and it is obvious that opinions vary...

Novel outlook though................ Brad says: "Can't fault Rick for his pity letting you back on the fire... but pity it was and remains. Nothing more, nothing less.

Even a half inch under a half inch is 3 through the exact same hole with ZERO variation. OK, well just to clarify "well under", a .269" group from my .300WM using 70grs of IMR7828 under the Sierra 220gr BTHP, at magazine length no less! I tried seating closer and it hated it.

Dunno what you guys out there are showing each other... Stick- trick 81 is holding the rifle still. trick 29 is adjusting the trigger how you like it. and trick 19 is just not being a [bleep] shot to start with. i don't use any others.

When Winchester brought out the CRF in 1992 under the "Classic" moniker (which is what this 375 is), they once again set the standard for a hunting rifle. jorge A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance.

I also have a Classic CRF .375 H&H and I agree that they are excellent rifles. I'll have to take it out in the days and run a few rounds through it.. (I also made a note of your load data... Might have to work up some of those loads and see how they perform in my M70)... 'Nam Vet '67, '68, '69
