I thought someone may want this. Its at Cabelas in Fort Worth TX:
It’s almost certainly a take down, although the pictures and description don’t make that clear. The scope almost looks older than the rifle. Those H&H mounts are dear, and generally serialized to the rifle. The cocking piece peep site is a nice feature. I don’t really know where the market is for these rifles right now - not clear to me whether this is a “good deal”.I thought someone may want this. Its at Cabelas in Fort Worth TX:
Some of these came with a Nickel Marburg scope, that had a 26mm instead of 1” tube, making the mounts just slightly too large for the more plentiful 1” scopes.Looks like a classic Holland take apart (barreled receiver comes out of the stock) to me. The matching TD case is a nice touch. The scope may not be super useful as it may not be an actual 1” tube making the scope mounts less valuable. I had one like this and the scope was a little larger than 1” so required a bit of shimming to work with a modern 1” scope. Still workable though for a more modern scope if you wanted to use this rifle. The peep sight is not a Holland sight so it is pretty cool but not as much so as if it were an OG Holland peep.
I would say the actual sales market value is $12,500-$16,000. There have been a lot of post war H&H 375s for sale for a while now. This one has a bit of advantage over most because of the TD case and scope mounts though IMO.

I’ve got one from the 20s and one from the early 60s. I think this one has aluminum bottom metal and is from the 50s, or thereabouts, as Markinnz says. I would not be suprised if the scope and mounts are not original to the rifle -ie the serial number on the bottom of the trigger guard and the serial number on the rear scope mount do not match. That would be easy enough for someone in Fort Worth, or Cabelas to answer though.Hi,
One of the nicest 375 H&H I have seen. To me a perfect configuration rifle for the cartridge. Made with a standard lenght M98 action. H&H made the needed action lenghtening in one of the best ways! And with a 4 round magazin. The scope seems to be a Zeiss Zielklein 2,5x. A very good light scope from the late 30´s, with 22 mm tube. Of course is more a colletors item today.
For sure is a take down model looking at the front screw. I think it has a steel magazine and floorplate because is a take down.
Like this rifle very much, a truly fine hunting rifle without any superfluous thing at a reasonable price for a H&H 375!
