I've always had a passion for this caliber, despite not having a need for a big bore rifle. No plans to go hunting in Africa and my hunting needs for elk to pronghorn are more than adequately met by my 338-06 and 257 Wby.
Regardless, I've gotten the itch for a rifle in 375 H&H to add to the collection. Maybe two. A double rifle in 375 H&H would be the pinnacle, but not sure I can afford the invitation to that dance. A bolt action is where I plan on starting while keeping one eye cocked for a Merkel or Kreighoff double at a crazy price.
Preferences lean towards the classic Dangerous Game rifle. Wood stock, 24" barrel, blued, iron sights and weighing in around 9 pounds without scope.
I picked up a Winchester Model 70 in 375 H&H at a Rock Island Armory action as part of a two rifle package, but lacked the iron sights and was quickly sold. Package included a 220 Swift, which was what I was after.
Open to any suggestions from the Addicts who own or have owned one.
