Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Express Rifles and Big Bores Only Winchester safari express

Been wanting one awhile, Now I finally have the funds and cant find one anywhere. CDNN had the best price but looks like all they have is 458 and I want a 375. Checked ableammo and cheaper than dirt and buds. Any other options?

Try Gunbroker.com. I think I saw one on there not too very long ago. I know they have a 458 win. on now. I was eyeballing it last night. Kevin

Just checked Gunbroker. They have about a half dozen of them on there as we speak!! Kevin

yeah but they want 800 more than new ones cost

Give Gary's Gun Shop in Sioux Falls, SD a call. I bought mine in .375 from there for a little over $1k. Also check First Stop Guns in Rapid City, SD.

I have been pleased with the fit and finish of mine. I haven't had the chance to work up a load yet for it so I cannot comment on how it will shoot.

Hope you like getting your trigger finger banged. (They don't fit me, and I'm glad they were scarce when my ZKK 602 "appeared".)

There's this one on GB, all blinged out ready to go.

I know someone with a New Haven 375 safari express for sale (2002 build). PM me if you want more info.

Please explain this to me...

Funny my .458 Win doesn't hit my finger. I do know how you feel though, I had a 700 Police .300 Win that whacked my finger on every shot. After awhile you can't think about anything else. I took a torch and hammer to it and bent the handle forward. Eventually I did what I should have done in the first place; restocked it with a more open grip.

are the new haven ones better than the fn ones?

I've bought 4 FNs since they started making them. A 30-06 Supergrade, .458 Safari Express, 270 Featherweight with grade 2 wood and most recently a walnut stocked Alaskan in .375 H&H. As far as I'm concerned these are the best M70s ever made.

If you are looking for a .375 check out the Alaskan. The Safari Express is a bit heavy for a .375. Without weighing them I'd guess that the Alaskan is 2 pounds lighter than my .458 and that would be heavier yet in .375.

I like the H&H cartridge a lot, but can find all sorts of reasons to not carry a 10 1/2 pound rifle when there aren't any buffalo around, or even on the continent. Drop the weight down to where it isn't any different than a typical rifle and all of a sudden the .375 seems like logical whitetail or moose gun.

Edit: Weighed them both and came up with 8.6 pounds for the Alaskan with a 3.5-10 VX3 on it, and 10 even for the .458 with a 2.5-8 VX3.

I agree, they are the best by a long shot. I've got a featherweight in 7x57 and a safari express in 416.

My 416 weighs 10.1 lbs with a leupold 2-7x.

Try hinterlandoutfitters.com, they have an Alaskan in 375 in stock now.
