I would think the perfect barrel lenghth would be 24 maybe 25 inches.Why more Factory Firearm don't do SS and synthetic in this cal is beyond me.When one thinks what must be offered in a .375 H&H
for it to sell sucessfully these , would certainly meet the criteria.
When I think of .375 H&H I think of Northern and Alaskan bear hunts
African safaries. In fact when I retire it will be Alaska and then fly to Africa the next day.Yeah they'd sell, no excuse for this not to at all.
Huge money maker.

I picked up a Remington 798 in 375H&H. Its the same imported bolt action that has worn the name charles daly and interarms I believe. Its a true mauser action, very much like the newer rugers and winchesters. Got it for a song, with iron sights and a nice laminated stock, but it is blued. Its 26" barrel is a tad long IMO, I think 23-24" is about right for a 375. I looked at the Ruger Alaskan, and I liked it, though I think a little longer barrel would do it good. Winchester has made a stainless/synthetic combo at one time, so if you look around, you may find one. They dont kick that bad at all, as long as its at the right weight. I think its more versatile then the 30'06, and everyone should own two or three!
CZ DOES make one and yes I'd like one too. (It's not stainless though and has a wood stock but that's what I'd want). Only problem is I can't afford the guides to go use it on anything.
Lets see, big, heavy hunting rifle with immense recoil, hard to find/expensive ammo, and absolutely useless for just about anything Id hunt on this side of the globe...Ill take 3!

Ive never had a problem finding ammo for mine, though I roll my own for it exclusively. Now if you shop exclusively at walmart for all your gun needs, you wont find it, but then people who own a 375 dont shop just there, lol. If you go to the dark continent, the H&H is found everywhere, its the '06 over there. Recoil, if you shoot 12ga hunting loads, then its a non-issue. If you cant tote a 8.5-9lb rifle on a sling, then you need to get a stairmaster,lol, unless you are disabled, etc. Its urban legend that its so immensely powerful, when infact its pretty easy to handle, the H&H feeds like a dream and extracts even better, and is used on deer sized game and bigger with less meat damage(due to slower velocities) then alot of the smaller cal magnums.
I like mine in a Ruger No 1. I never understood the concept of over powered one day and not enough gun the next. Some say standard calibers are not big enough for moose and elk yet a 375 H&H is too much gun for those types of animals. And yet again those that want a supermag yet their max range is 300yards or less, I'd say the 375 H&H was built just for that. Not to be totally sarcastic but if your going to worry about thumping an animal why not really thump it and use a 375 H&H or bigger. And if you find and old Winchester Safari Grade that's a good rifle. Watch the floor plates on some manufacturer's or you may only get one shot anyways the rest will be on the ground.
