Winchester currently makes a stainless 375. It has a laminated stock, instead of a synthetic.

My 375 WBY is a custom on a Whitworth action. These are around in 375 H&H from the factory and are pretty well though of, as far as I understand. I really like mine. Just another option.

My .375 is nothing fancy but it is a short range thumper. Marlin 375 in .375 Win, second from top. The other are Marlin 1895 .45-70 (top), Marlin 336 .30-30 (3rd down) and Browning B92 .44 Mag (bottom). My hunting buddy and I coined a term for our lever guns (he also has a Marlin 336 .30-30): "Lever-action Satisfaction"

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.

PF,CRF........they all work so long as they work the way they are supposed to, and it boils down to personal preferences based on your own experiences and what you "like". CRF is no guarantee the rifle will work well if it is not tuned properly. A friend on here has a KS Mountain rifle in 375 H&H and loves it.
I am a traditional guy, like CRF, and if I wanted a SS 375 rifle would look around the used gun market for a SS M70 Classic and drop it into an Echols or other McMillan stock....or skip the fluff and use it as is.
While at it I would do everything I could to make it jam or screw up in function and correct any little problems....I would do that with any rifle because hunts with 375's are usually pretty important and cost lots of money.
The Kimber Talkeetna is SS,looks like a nice rifle but fails to make my hit list because it has no bottom metal and I don't like blind magazines on any hunting rifles...others differ on this, concerned that bottom metal will open and do bombs away with your ammo under recoil, which is true if the BM is a piece of shidt but not otherwise..... Take your pick. I agree with Bob. My first thoughts were, this guy (the OP) needs to cut thru the bs and buy a classic stainless with the synthetic stock and just hunt the dang thing. Bob also points out some very good things that should be on the "to do list" as well. Good post Bob....
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've owned several 375s over the years, mostly H&Hs. Currently own a 375/338 . . . .375-.338 is a good one in a std long action. Mine had a 21" bbl, on a M70 PF action, Williams receiver aperature rear and Williams Firesight front. L to R .338 Win .375-.338 w/ Win 270 PP .375-338 w/ Nosler 300 PT .375 H+H .375-.338 Good point. I was very intrigued by this cartridge until my 375 fell into my lap and decided to just go the old H&H route. Since everyone else is showing pictures, I figure I might as well too ...:
