Vapodog,

By the way...which .375' s do you own? (I think I remember reading something referencing them on another post...but don' t remember what!)

In the past I owned a Voere with double set triggers in .375 H&H, (a friend bought it in a Rod & Gun Club in Germany...Hanau or Darmstadt....don' t remember which). I do remember the first time he shot it at the Heidelberg Rod & Gun Club range though. He fired less than a box of ammunition...either Remington or RWS don' t remember which.....turned to me and asked me if I wanted to buy it. I said, " how much" ? He said $375. at which I pulled the money out of my pocket and bought it. I don' t remember if I had a Schmidt & Bender low power variable or a Leupold VXIII 1.5X5X20 on it..but I do remember it shot extremely well. Especially after you were use to the set triggers and started shooting from field positions....very easy to shoot in the field with accuracy!

The most recent .375 H&H was a Sako Mannlicher with a Leupold VXIII 1.5X5X20 that also was a very good shooter. It was several pounds heavier than a similar Sako Mannlicher I owned in .308 Winchester but had a very good trigger and shot very well. That rifle went on several " walk in" hunts for Moose in Alaska and was a comfort in Brownie country. But I sure hated given it the " rough treatment" when I had Stainless-Synthetic' s that handled the lumps and bumps better!

In between those two there were a couple of Steyr Model ST' s (medium heavy weight barrels) both of which I had to return to the factory for improper headspacing when purchased NEW! The .375 H&H cases were separating in front of the belt when removed from the chamber....(New factory loads!!!). I finally told the Steyr rep to get me the same rifle chambered in 9.3X64 (Continental equivalent to the .375 H&H except slightly shorter, more modern case dimensions, and NO belt. That resolved the problem for me. Put a Kahles 1.5X6X30 in a set of Steyr " swing off mounts" which always returned to zero when removed and replaced. That rifle had double set triggers as well with a spare magazine inletted into the right side of the butt stock. It was the " cyolac rotary magazine" common to Steyr.)

And over the years there was an odd Winchester Model 70 or two in .375 H&H. All nice rifles in their own way. But you know how it is to be a " gun crank" , especially when you' re young. There is always the siren song of the " next" rifle. (Oh...to have them ALL back in my hands again!?!)

A great cartridge if ever there was one!
