If we're all going to post pics of completely irrelevant caliber rifles on this thread let me get involved here...........

My 375 Wby on a Sako L61R.........



My Sako A IV Safari in .375 H&H...........it's out getting a AAA exhibition piece of wood fitted to it right now.



Then of course there's old faithful, 700 Rem stainless transported into a CDL stock wearing a 1.2-6 Zeiss and PT&G Oberndorf bottom metal.......375 H&H of course !!



Then there is the 375 H&H I picked up just because it's a 700 Classic and fits in with the other 5 or 6 I have.........

 
Bearkilr, here is the scope atop my supergrade 340 Wby............I don't have any close ups and the wife stole the little card thingy from my camera so I'm lost for more photos right now.



There it is on top of my 300 Wby, where it spent more than 20 years.



Again on the 300 Wby..........



It would appear as though I have no photos of it on my .375, but trust me it is there........

Never owned a 700 Remington. That I like.

Sorry, the point of focus got a little side tracked so I willingly went along with that 'deviation'.
 
Some funny looking rifle in odd chamberings there for sure. But let's
concentrate on what this thread is all about the great, versatile and
affordable .375 Ruger!

Just loaded a bunch of .300 grain Hornady's for it and will take the Alaskan
out to make noise real soon.

I have a 40 year old 1.5-6 on a Sauer 80 in a Suhler Einhak Montage (SEM) claw mount. They didn't make a 3-9, that's a Hungarian/USA/Conquest thing.

there was one done a 3-9x36 a nive copy of an Austrian brand for the mountaineer hunters.

i liked it very on a kipplauf we had on 6.5x57r ....
 
i am going to stay away from this as my 375H&H sakos , are in the safe and i just mounted a 6x24x56 ill. z1000 zeiss on the bravo 98 it is a new toy . But i know i will never stop hugging my sako 375H&Hs
 
The Savage/Ruger 18"-20" offerings in 375 Ruger are actually in my price range. I was thinking about rebarrelling my -06 in 338-06, but for a bit more I could have a short, heavy hitting rifle with factory irons. Sure I'd like a 20" Sako, but quote my father "Money doesn't grow on trees". The Ruger laminated stock is growing on me too.
 
i felt down again in the 375 ruger hype.

cant resist on a very good deal on BNIB lh laminated one ...

with the new recipe of our C-FBMI the lack of brass is no more an issue and that 20`` barrel was so handy ...

Yes, you and C-fbmi are correct, they did call it a Diavari, but it wasn't what we'd think of when you hear the name Diavari. It didn't have the T* coating, just multi coat. Similar to what evolved into the Conquest line.

Where in the hell is Douglas today? There is a new, unfired Sako Safari .375H&H in the EE calling his name

LOL....that is the first thing I thought when I saw it. Actually, I lie, the first thing I though was "I want". But I have to decide whether or not I want something so old school and dated, or whether I should make a more modern and effective choice like a .375 Ruger in a Savage or Howa.
 
I went old school, Sako deluxe 375 H&H a few years back. Damn thing would give me a recoil induced skull cramp after a few rounds. Sold it with all the ammo, brass, dies and bullets thrown in so as not to be tempted into buying another 375 rifle again.

Due to the superior rifle/ cartridge design of the New King, the .375 Ruger is very easy to shoot and enjoy. ;)
 
I think we should have an antique cartridge season, just like muzzle loaders have enjoyed, perhaps we should even be permitted in bow season if one's cartridge boasts a century or worse of antiquation. I've even killed great beasts with such a cartridge, no exaggeration or tales. I have witnesses. I believe this is what gives certain cartridges the oft quoted "Panache": The extreme risk in using them, the difficulties faced, and the perversion required to choose to operate such an obsolete choice willingly in the field. Here's to the Century Club™, of whom I will forever remain a devoted member against all marketing and modern reason, operating such relics as .375 Holland's Magnum and the .275 of Rigby's Great Britain at great personal risk. Stride forth boldly into the future, bearing scantly functional relics of the bygone past. That, is panache gentlemen.
