I don't know what they are worth, but I do want one. A friend has one and it's been to Africa with him a couple times. I've shot it and seen him shoot it and it's very accurate. I'd say it's accurate enough to hit ground squirrels at two hundred yards. Hey that sounds like fun!
Re: Interarms Whitworth .375 H&H - 08/05/12
I'm not sure what they are worth either. It has been there for a bit and somebody with some trading skills ought to be able to bring down the price to some degree. I'm sure the scope doesn't have much value. It wasn't a Leupold or expensive Euro brand.

I am fortunate to own a Whitworth Express 375 with a very nice deluxe wood stock. With good loads it delivers cloverleaf groups all day, and it also dies very well with cast bullets. Watch for stock splitting behind the magazine well. I reinforced mine in this area with a Brownell's cross bolt - and it is holding together just fine. These rifles are heavy enough to tame the 375's recoil IMHO.

Probably would be more in the $800 range in a perfect world, but they are extremly nice rifles.

I just went to Cabelas and the Whitworth .375 is no longer there. Sorry.
Re: Interarms Whitworth .375 H&H - 08/05/12
Depends on the wood and condition but nice ones were going or up to $1200 a few years ago when I picked up both a 375 & 458. I've seen several on the web between $900 & $1200 recently.

They have a certain grace and form that makes them seem just right, and at a reasonable cost. They have gone up fast the last two years, however, and they aren't the bargain they once were.
$1,000 for one with any kind of scope isn't at all bad if the gun is sound and has the barrel band instead of the sling stud out of the forend. Even so, they're still nice.
I was fortunate to have found one in 30-06 with a 3-9 Vari X II in Leupold mounts recently and pick it up tomorrow.

Yep, the price of anything GOOD goes up after it's discontinud and people realize how good it was.
Not long after Leupold bought Nosler in 1984, they had Nosler discontinue .375 bullets, due to "lack of demand." Soon that decision resulted in smaller companies making controlled-expansion .375 bullets (notably Swift A-Frame and Trophy Bonded), but for a while Nosler .375's went for $2 apiece--when they could be found. That's the equivalent of $4 a bulet today.
