Caveat emptor.

375 Rimless is NOT 375HH or 375HH Flanged.

It's a limited use esoteric cartridge of the early 20th century. Common slang is 375 2-1/4".

Also known as 9.5x57mm.

Close quarters caliber for medium sized non-dangerous game.
This I did not know...

Don't get the British started. There's ANOTHER 375 too:

And Don't forget the 375 Winchester Big Bore, a design of the 1970s for lever action rifles that is just a 357 magnum double-length.

Yes I actually knew what it was and thought it would be a neat rifle relegated to hogs and such.

Didn’t even pay attention to the 375 designation as the seller also refers to it as the 9.5x57 each time he mentions the cartridge.
Would you say that’s a reasonable price for what it is? If the bore is good etc..

I believe you can easily form cases from 8x57mm Rimmed Mauser brass. Since there is a 9mm, 9.3mm, and finally a 9.5mm mauser cartridge, I *think* you could just progressively run them through the dies, annealing after each step. Definitely true from 8 to 9 to 9.3 conversion. Don't quote me on 9.5mm without digging in with an expert.

Something in the same vein

For how much owners say they love their AHR rifles, you sure see them up for sale quite often.
 
This appears to be a really good price on a new Schmidt & Bender 1-5x Stratos ($1K less than list price). If I had a rifle with rail mounts I might have jumped on this already.


If anyone is looking for a really good LPVO for an AR or similar rifle, Eurooptic also has this Steiner T5Xi for sale at half its list price.

That's an exceptional deal on the rail mount.
 
Yes, I spent a few minutes this morning trying to figure out how I could put a rail mount scope on one of my rifles so I could justify the purchase.

Looks like someone snapped it up already.


Generally speaking, EAW Pivot mounts and the corresponding S&B rail "rings" (yes, not rings, but you get the idea) are the way to go. There are many one piece mounts in Europe compatible with particular rifles and this scope type as well. Blasers, Krieghoffs, Merkels, etc.

It's a very good design and it results in zero stress on the optic. It also allows you to perfectly adjust the eye relief with no regard for the turrets potentially conflicting with ring placement.

What a great way to kick off our 2025 hunting season in South Africa.

This beautiful Impala ram was taken at just over 300 yards, took a few steps and toppled over.

We are looking forward to the next week and a half of hunting with our first client of the year.

Do you have any more copies of African Dangerous Game Cartridges, Author: Pierre van der Walt ? I'm looking for one. Thanks for any information, John [redacted]
