Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Express Rifles and Big Bores Only Which 375 ?

I think that I'm goin to get a Remington model 700 in 375 this year and was wondering which to get out of these 2 choices a 375 H&H or 375 RUM ? I might go with the 375 RUM since I already have a 7mm RUM and 300 RUM if I get the 375 RUM then maybe I will sell my 338 win mag and get a 338 RUM and have all 4 of them. LOL

The one you want most. Whomever dies with the most toys wins.

I have one in 375 H&H and I like it. Haven't shot it in a while but it does great on elk sized animals, saving it for moose and if I can ever finance that brown bear trip lol!

I have an Alaskan Wilderness Rifle (AWR) in 338 RUM if you want to jump the gun!

i have a .375 AI and two .375 Ultra rifles. i don't notice much diff in recoil (except for rifle weight) or performance. i do like that the Ultra can do the same job with lower pressure.

A .375 H&H in a CZ or Winchester will resale better in the future,IF you decide to unload it.....
They will be much better to hunt with as well.

+ 1000, with emphasis. Model 700's are really good varmint/target and backyard deer rifles. Usefullness and appropriateness ends there, hard. For important or perhaps even moderately dangerous hunts, you can do much better, easily. Almost all are better than a model 700 for that caliber.

If not hunting dangerous game.... 375 Rum 260 accubond at 3050 fps... Whats not to like?... I have one in the xcr 700... extremely accurate.. Three touching at 100.

i call BS on the 700 bashin'. i have a M70 in .375 AI and i hunt it, but the M700 .375 Ultra has been every bit as faithful. when it came time to pick one for a solo back pack hunt 10 miles into griz infested wilderness, the M700 went hunting because it weighs a pound and a half less.

if you choose a CRF as personal preference, fine, that's what we do, but it's laughable to suggest the M700 will gag if you take it past the back yard...

and the myth continues to grow...

Get the H&H. It'll go through an elephant from side to side and a Cape buffalo from end to end. The RUM just adds more flinch. The H&H is 100 years old. Nothing else close to it has lasted nearly as long. Besides, you can find H&H ammo in Dande North but not RUM ammo.

Yep. Or 375AI/WBY as they can feed on regular H&H ammo as well in a pinch.

Gotta +1 on the H&H. Easy shooting, plentiful ammo and a classic. My good buddy talked me into it and he was spot on. No sissy skull splitting muzzle brake needed. Past that, put a Winchester 70 on Alaskaslist at the same time as anything else and see what sells fastest. Win 70s are like currency.

If you plan on traveling to hunt, ammo availability of the H&H might be a plus.

Wait until Remington comes out in a 375 Ruger.

The 375 H&H has all the horses you actually need.

with .473 BC 260 accubond bullet at over 3k MV the rum is as flat shooting as 270 Win w/ 130 bullet. That ain't bad company. Think FLATTEN elk at 400 aiming on hair. Not sure the H&H can say the same unless you redline the bejesus out of it.

Again, we come up with the 375 H&H AI'ed or 375 (not 378) Weatherby versions which can also hit those numbers and still use regular H&H ammo all day long to good effect.

I've never had a bolt handle come off,an extractor quit and the trigger screw up on any of my Mausers or Winchester....
Those are facts known around the world!
and this will draw some smoke...
Remingtons are junk,always have been,always will be....

Funny, I haven't had any of the above happen on a 700 either. I have had feeding and ejection issues on Models 70s (and mausers) though. Each has its strong points and weaknesses. Buy what you want and be happy with it.

Trying to say one is better than the other is just like arguing that one religion is better than another.

I like the 375 H&H for due to getting an extra round in the magazine. Plus I couldn't find a 7 lb 375 Ruger.

That - and still getting a wee thrill out of shooting the exact same round I read about so much as a kid.

Not entirely logical - but it's my reason.
