375 platforms ?

Hey Supercub, Remington does make a stainless 700 in 375 with iron sights that I never saw on their website listing. Did not have the XCR on the floor plate like those listed but has the crappy SPS stock on it. I recall seeing one on the rack at MilArm this time last year.

 

[Why not?]

The 375 H&H proves to be immensely popular and will remain so long after we are gone.
The 375 Ruger cartridge is an excellent choice and I like it but to even think the H&H round is obsolete is just plain silly simply because of a belt.
Performance differences between the two is like splitting hairs.

Hey, Kevan, how about your Mossberg in 375 Ruger?

I think it was you who posted that you had one.

But would this work for you?

I'm more of a stainless and composite kind of guy but I have to admit, that wood and blue is absolutely gorgeous. I don't think I'd have the balls to take in the woods on a rainy day though...

Why not? Little rain never hurt anything. Wipe em down and dry em at the end of the day and all is well

Renaissance wax all the wood and steel works in rain too. I hunt Newfoundland if its not raining its either fog or snow.

I've got the same rifle but in the 416 Rigby. In RSA I got rained on harder than anywhere else (and I used to have a paper route in North Vancouver when I was a kid). Rifle was none the worse for wear. Hell, I even threw a sling on it and packed it while snowmobiling looking for moose.

I feel sad for all the beautiful rifles that only get out of the safe to be looked at, maybe a range trip now and then. Cryin shame, the poor things are meant to kill critters and explore country.

I sure do like the way my .375 Blaser R8 functions but I've never seen a rifle eject an empty case as beautifully as my Remington 700. It throws the empty case straight sideways out the port in such perfect fashion.

I hunted with the Ruger Hawkeye Alaskan and have used a lot of other bolt rifles over the decades but I always come back to the 700. I trust them to no end and have always enjoyed carrying and shooting them. IMO, the bad opinions are entirely unfounded and I stand with C-FBMI in backing the rifle for use in any situation.
