.375 club, you in?

I've had 3 rifles in .375 over the years. Me 1st one was a Savage 99 in .375 Win that I bought new in the 70's. The next one was a Browning stainless stalker w/BOSS in .375 H&H that was rather accurate with my subsonic loads, and my last & most favorite .375 was my Win 94 BB which was the nicest to handle in the bush.

I'm in the 9.3x57 camp now though for medium bore rifle fun.

My buddy bought one of those Win 94 BB in 375 Win in 2020 he loves his.

My 375 Win is a 21" stainless T/C Contender carbine.
 
Many, many, years ago I had Alvaan Peteresn at the Rifle Ranch in Riverehurst, Saskatchewan, rebore two 30-30 rifles to 38-55. One was a Marlin, and the other a Model 94.

Both rifles shot better than new, and were fine moose and bear slayers. Ron Brown, some of you will remember him, bought one of them, and I can't remember who ended up with the other.

Dear Mr. M. Butler

Please stop posting pictures of your gorgeous rifle all over the internet. Two seconds after I spotted this rifle for sale at my favorite Lloydminster gunstore I thought I better just take a few deep breaths before I ran to get my credit card.

My wife intercepted me and asked if I'd take the recycling down the drive way for pickup. I got back into the house, went to my laptop and the damn rifle was gone! Vanished as if it never existed. It was like it was a mirage in the desert or a dream or something mythical.

A deep depression came over me... My M70 supergrade 375 seemed very plain, ordinary, forgetable. My RSM 375 with it's exceptional circassian seemed like an old 2x4, a chunk of lumber, a promise unfulfilled.

As my malaise worsened I signed into my African Hunting account to ease my grief.............

To see this rifle displayed in high resolution photo after photo after photo. Now here you are dragging it in front my face again and again. Now topped with the perfect rings and scope.

I just know I'll come back again and again to stare and envy

Now you have to tell me it shoots great.........you are a cruel cruel man Mr. Butler

Time for redemption.

If it was chambered in 9.3x62, I probably would have decided to keep it. But everyone also needs a .375, or two, and I have too many to keep them employed as they should be.

.375 Ruger African.was going to sell but couldn't bring myself to do it glad for that
 
Haven't posted here for a while but I finally found my first 375 and joined the club!

CZ 550 Safari Classic 375 H&H with a Leupold 2-7x33 in Talley QD mounts. I had a really nice 550 in 458wm that I foolishly sold and decided that I desperately needed another, this time in the classic do-everything H&H. Have brass on its way in the mail and picked up a few boxes of 270gr Hornady SP's(all I could find). Can't wait to shoot it!

I'm back in the 375 club, I had sold my M70 safari express to another member a few years back. I kept all my reloading gear knowing I would pick another rifle up. I just got a Sako Kodiak today, hopefully get to shoot it by the weekend!
 
I've been in & out a number of times. First it was a post-64 Model 70 XTR back in '81 after I started reading Capstick & began dreaming of the Dark Continent. That went down the road a few years later because a friend bought me a Whitworth in .458, which got replaced by a Parker Hale 110 African Magnum in .458. Then a beaytifully engraved Ruger #1, which, in an incredibly stupid moment, got traded for a Churchill XXV. Then a Jeffery beckoned, but that too went down the road after a couple of decades as I so enjoyed my 9.3x57's, 9.3x62's & a #1 in 9.3x74R. Couldn't resist a #1H as the price was too good to pass up, however. Then another Whitworth beckoned to me. Almost as bad as Lee Speeds!
