    Has anyone built a custom .375 H&H rifle based on a MRC 1999 PH action?

    I always thought the .376 in a rifle like that or an intermediate Mauser would be a really cool gun. Brass availability is probably what held me up the most. Now I have a standard MRC 1999 and all the parts to build a .375 H&H.

    165 or 180 grain bullet for 3006

    For a 4350 alternative you might look at shooters world long rifle. I bought 8 pounds of it a couple months ago for a good bit cheaper than IMR or Hogdon 4350. I haven’t had a chance to get to the range yet though so I can t give any first hand reports. For deer I’d use the 165, but I would...

    @gbflyer Yeah, I called Winchester today, but the parts line closes at 4 central. @Mark Biggerstaff I looked at the website and didn’t see any, I guess I’ll give them a call tomorrow. I wonder if the new MRC might have one?

    Wanted CZ Bobwhite G2 Or Similar SXS

    I have G1 and G2 bobwhites. I took the G1 to Argentina for doves in 2022. After about 1,500 rounds it broke a hammer spring. I shot it as a single shot the rest of the morning. When I got back I called CZ to see about buying a new spring, they sent me one free of charge. We actually have 2 of...

    Starting a cartridge collection...

    I’ve had good luck buying individual empty cases at my local gunsmiths. They end up with a lot of empties from guns they work on, some in oddball or rare calibers. My collection is pretty small though. I just realized I need a new picture, I’ve added about 50% more since this picture

    First Buck in a few years

    With my boys (17 and 12) taking up my hunting time and my girls (7 and 5) already asking to go I haven't hunted much for myself in the last couple of years.

    .375 follower for a MCR 1999?

    Anyone have any suggestions where I can get a follower for a .375 H&H to fit a 1999. The mag box looks like it just has a spacer that I can remove to get me to 3.6” but I need a follower. I may try and call the new MCR and ask them. Also I was thinking I may try and get a new production Win...

    Rifle shooting books

    “The Art of the Rifle” by Col Cooper was one of the first ones I read. Some of O’Connors writings that deal with shooting at game are worth reading. There are lots more i’m sure. I agree with going and doing it or training classes, repetitions will make you better. I have a .223 bolt gun setup...

    Switch barrel Ruger no1

    So I just acquired a No1 in 375 H&H from my brother. I traded him an early 375 Ruger African (No barrel band) for it. I like it, but it had the front sight removed and a muzzle brake installed. It’s very easy to shoot, but I am already building myself a custom 375 H&H on a stainless MRC 1999, so...

    I test fired it today and checked the cases for any irregularity’s, everything looks good and the fired cases match the loaded brass as far as I can tell without calipers.

    Ruger No. 1 Chambered In .458 Win Mag

    My Brother has a no1 in 375 H&H with a radial brake. i cant remember offhand but i think they took the front sight off to attach the brake. either way he got a great deal on it because of the brake i believe, it was <$900. it recoils about as much as my 7mm-08 and a good bit less than our...

    9.3x62 Rifle Build

    I've been looking at a similar thing, albeit in 375 H&H. I think you can get a stainless Model 70 for <1K on gunbroker if you don't mind shopping on there. I just got a MRC 1999 for $1K with a Bell & Carlson Stock. So $1,000 for an action + $2,000 +/- for an Accurate Innovations stock leaves you...

    Down loading the 458WM to 45-70??

    Down loading the 458WM to 45-70??

    A 30-30 shooting TSX’s would be hard to beat, but I wouldn’t think twice about using a 300-400 grain .458 bullet at 1400-1600 fps either.
  43. B

    Down loading the 458WM to 45-70??

    Downloading to <1800 fps should be doable with 4198. In a 458WM weight rifle it should be a very light shooting load. 1600fps is about my limit for 400grain loads in my 7# 45-70 single shot, at least for more than a couple rounds. I can plug it into quickload if you would like to get an idea of...

    Has anyone built a custom .375 H&H rifle based on a MRC 1999 PH action?

    What’s the difference in the PH action? I just bought a 300 WM like the picture you posted that was sold as a 3.6” action, mag box, and follower. My plan is to build a custom 375 H&H on it. I should receive it around the end of the week.

    My first safari rifle

    Well I just did a thing. One of the actions I’ve been watching, a stainless Montana 1999 XWR. Upon reading the description again I realized that it was a 3.6” action already. So it just needs a new barrel and maybe some feed lip and barrel channel work. I will post pics once I get started.
