Matched sets of rifles...

[1899]

I was looking at a nice set of old Holland & Holland bolt action rifles in .300 H&H and .375 H&H and thought that combo would be just about perfect. Do any of you have a nice matched set of light and heavy rifles?

If not, what would tickle your fancy? The above combo of .300 H&H and .375 H&H certainly would be fine. I guess the easiest route there would be a pair of single shot Rugers.

Another possibility would be a pair of Zastava M98 Mausers in something like 7x57 and 9.3x62 - certainly not a combo that would break the bank, but it would cover you for just about anything.

 

[Why not?]

You have hit the nail squarely on the head with the 7X57-9.3X62 pair. Ask me how I know.

Ted

You know because you read about it, right?

 

[Why not?]

Come and see....................

[geologist]

They are not matched but I have a BRNO 600 in 30-06 and a 602 in .375 H&H.

Oh Ted, please don't tempt me. I am weak.

 

[CheeseBurger]

How about 6.5x55 and 9.3x62!

I've got pre-64 Model 70's in 300 H&H and 375 H&H, and some others too. I like having my rifles all the same no matter what I'm hunting.

with the help and advice of Ted mine is 270 and 9,3x62 in lh mauser ... thanks a lot.

Funny you should mention that... by this time next year my custom 7x57 should finally be complete, and I'll have that exact combination. All my other rifles are going to feel neglected.

 

[sharp shooter]

i have a supergrade in 30-06 and an Alaskan in 375. both FN manufacture. I love them both.

This is my "matched set". Top is Browning Safari .375 H&H w/Leupold 1.5-5. Bottom rifle is also Browning in .30-06. Now wears a Leupold 2-7 . Both are first year of production Brownings.
My .300 H&H is a custom Winchester 70. If you want a "real" Holland rifle check out Martini-Haghn's site.

Another option would be new FN/Winchester 70 Alaskan's. Either in .30-06 or .338WM matched with a .375H&H. I absolutely love my new .338 Alaskan. Super accurate, handles and recoils more like a .30-06. Taking it with me for weeks hunting in Alberta on Friday.

That Alaskan just made me drool Nice rifle in a very effective chambering for anything in Canada and most other places too One question...what's it weigh with scope & mounts?


Good luck on the hunt!

 

[1899]

Yes, I never thought of the new Alaskan. They sure are nice, and would also make for a nice set.

Hey .. might be a great picture thread .. I was thinking of what I have in the way of big and small ... Cooey .410 and Cooey 12G, S&W 500 and S&W 617; Mauser action .243 and .308 Norma Mag, Remington 870 .410 and 870 12G;Henry Big Boy .357 and Henry Golden Boy. Hmm more "big and little" combos than I thought. Could do the same for knives etc.

Is your .308 NM built on a GEW98?

 

[BigUglyMan]

How about 6.5x55 and 9.3x62!

Swedes and Germans? Doesn't fit for me. I'd go with either classic Brit 300 H&H and 375 H&H or classified German with the 7x57 and 9.3x62.

 

[Pickles]

I've got a few matched rifles. Not really light and heavy unless a 250 is light and a 308 is heavy.

222 Rem and 222 Rem Mag

257 Bob, 257 'Bee, and a 264 WM

250 Savage and 308 Win

 

[Cleftwynd]

Ooooh, I like the last two!

Does these count? hahaha

 

[Boomer]

At one time I considered a pair of #1s, chambered for the. 275 and .416 Rigby, sort of a British/German combo that could cover all the bases.
