Sigh. Time to sell one of the premier guns in my small stable.
Winchester Model 70 Left handed 375 H&H. Factory barreled action in a McMillan Echols Legend Stock. Stock has been hydrodipped to look like walnut (I explained to the guys at the dipping shop how to tip the stock so that the grain runs up through the grip.)
13.5" LOP to 1" red pad.
Rear tang has been cut into a pre-64 style, and the bolt stop built up; both done by James Anderson.
Williams one-piece bottom metal. It has the front of the tirgger guard floorplate release, which is preferable on big bores.
Only flaw on this gun is that one of the original holes for the sight bases was out of alignment. I took it to D'Arcy Echols, and his solution was to drill an additional 8x40 hole in the correct alignment, and make a custom base to match. I have both two-piece picatinny style bases and the one-piece rail as shown.
Rifle has been to Africa; it shot the zebra whose hide is shown in the pictures. The metal work does show the slight handling marks of a hunted gun, but the stock was added after that trip.
Everybody needs to have run an H&H case through a properly tuned CRF action before they offer many opinions about how a gun should feed. This gun is so smooth at picking up a round that sometimes when doing two-shot drills, I did not know it had picked up the second round when I was cycling it at my shoulder.
So why am I selling it? It is uncertain that I will every go back to Africa, and I have a .416 Rem I would likely take if I did. It has just become a "tweener" and somebody who will shoot it more should have it.
