Another heavy hitter enters the world...

[guntech]

.375 H & H Magnum Shilen 26 inch barrel on a trued 700. One inch muzzle - 11 pounds in a Sendero stock, glassed and floated trigger 2.5 pounds.

Easy on recoil with lots of smack at the other end.

Why such a heavy 375Mag? If it was in a varmint or LR cal I could see it, but .......

looks like you did some fine work, but I can;t quite understand the use of HB H&H in a varmint stock...

 

[pharaoh2]

Nice rifle but good Lord, I'm glad I don't have to pack it!

 

[redlaker1]

really nice rifle, clean and simple.

in some parts of the world they have some big varmints

 

[mike shickele]

I could see myself with that; if the barrel was bobbed to 22 inches, and there was a Gentry safety installed. Possimly an aftermarket metal floorplate as well.

Interesting stock and barrel choice. I guess everyone has different tastes, but that is a blueprint I'd never commission.

 

[Kevan]

Beautiful job Dennis....I'd be really interested to know what the accuracy will be especially since the big H&H has been a favourite of mine long before I had grey hair.
It should have plenty of reach with that barrel length too...
Do you know what it will wear for glass ?

i will be putting on a 6-18 leupold vx11

 

[chuck nelson]

For me, a 7mm or 300 win in that blueprint would be awesome.

I agree with supercub. I myself would rather have an H&H in a 7 lb. rifle, but I think it would be interesting to see what sort of accuracy the round itself is capable of. The .300 H&H was a smash hit at Wimbledon 1000 meter, no reason why the parent cartridge couldn't hold its own. I have a friend that took 2 deer with 2 shots with the .375 at a measured 330+ yards. Sometimes there has to be someone among us to ask, "what if . . ."

 

[gabrielguitars]

Good luck with that project, make sure you keep us abreast of your shooting with it.

 

[Cummins4x4]

It's cool and different, no other reason needed IMO, range report requested

 

[archie_james_c]

Tis a BRUTE!. Hunting targets or amnimals?

I have shot a 375 H&H that Dennis chambered for a buddy of mine..It has a Shilen also.

The owner of the rifle is an atrocious reloader (cases differing lengths, crushed primers, maximum velocity, etc.) yet my 100 yards groups were both a bit less than 3/4"....I'd like to see what it would do with a load carefully tailored for accuracy! The 6X Leupold was also making it tough for my questionable eyesight.

I have a new 375 Ultra that Dennis built for me...Will let you know how it shoots.... I bet it rips a 5/8" or smaller hole!
