[hesher66]

Now that you guys have convinced me I need a .375H&H for big game, I need to know what rifles are my best options. Price range $ 1200-$2500. THANKS !!!

And it won't break the banks either!

I need one so bad!

I have a CZ 550 and I love it. i think it has very nice open sights and it just handles very well!

Not a fan of Sako for a .375 as they should be Controlled Round Feed. From your other thread where I posted this, copied and pasted below.

While I'd like to recommend Ruger to be frank, there is no better value, perhaps better rifle, out there right now under $1,500 than the Winchester Model 70 .375 H&H (current one, controlled round feed). The CZ550 is a close competitor, and if you can find one as they're no longer in production, the Ruger RSM is king in my eyes, mine's been used to good effect. The BRNO 602 is also excellent for a used option. The Ruger African and Alaskan are good values if you're not choosy about whether your .375 is new or classic in chambering (they are chambered for .375 Ruger) but it pains me to admit the Winchester's likely a bit better. Speaking of the Ruger RSM, here's a sampling of what a good .375 can do, truly jack of all trades. Following is a picture string a few of us types that frequent these threads will be sick of seeing! These are only just over half its take, in the last two and a half years or so since I bought it. It's adding more this fall, likely 3 head or more worth of game planned this year. I don't even hunt with another rifle at present. I'm building a 7x57 for my cabinet, and all my hunting rifles will be represented by the .275 Rigby (7x57), .375 H&H, and a .475 Morrison. The .475 will likely be sold and I'll just use the two, the .275 and .375.

The Winchester is the best overall configuration for a 375 at this time .

 

[CanadaBoy]

The Winchester, for all of the reasons Ardent states, I have one and it is very good.

Not at the price limit the OP imposed, depending on condition. But you're right in the general sense.

I fell the call for a nice Alaskan in 375 Ruger i dont need it but i want one... JP.

Here's a good read based on opinions and experiences of those that use their rifles for a living in Africa. Seems the go to choice is CZ, and I've heard that first hand.

Good job on your price range. At least you have given yourself some room to work and the ability to buy some quality

 

[martinbns]

I woudl get the CZ.

 

[caramel]

I like this one... Lifes is to short to hunt with an ugly gun... Her goes all of my Savages... JP.

FN Winchester M70, with a 1.5-6 type scope...

I wouldn't go with Sako either. Not because it isn't controlled round feed but because it's recoil lug setup(wood stock) doesn't seem up to the larger calibers in my opinion.

 

[geologist]

CZ/BRNO. Better express sights for close up shooting, 6 round magazine capacity.

Con, a bit heavier than the Winchester.
