I come across a deal and couldn’t resist… plus I’ve always wanted this caliber. Prior to this my largest caliber rifle is my Tikka 300 Win Mag. Wonder how this is going to compare??

Winchester Model 70 Super Express in .375 H&H. Still doing a little research on the serial number, going to call Winchester and see what info they have.

A great rifle in a great caliber! You are going to love it!
 
I enjoy mine, I am sure you will love yours. They are a little on the heavy side with scope and ammo. Getting ready to put it in a new upgraded wood stock and shortening the barrel. I have a few other Model 70, a custom 404 Jeffery, 300 HH and 270 WSM. Get yours out and shoot it!
 
I’ve got the same rifle, you’ll love it. I’ve got a Trijicon Accupoint 1x6 paired with it and have made 5 yard jump shots all the way out to 250. Mine loves Barnes TSX 300gn.
 
Nice find, congrats! As a previous Tikka owner in .300WM and a current M70 .375HH owner, I think you'll find the recoil of the .375HH fairly easy to get used too. The Tikka in that caliber is quite, let's say, lively. You'll notice the increase in recoil of the .375 I'd guess, but the weight of the rifle eats it up.

I think you'll enjoy this rifle! If not, please contact me and I'll do what I can to offload your misery.... :)

Almost exactly what I was going to say! Same model, same caliber, Trijicon Accupoint, factory Barnes 300gn ammo. Perfect. You'll love it.
 
Congratulations, enjoy taking it to Africa!
 
Thanks guys, I look forward to getting glass on it and pulling the trigger!

How does the Trijicon compare to the Vortex Razor or Leupold Patrol?

Can't answer your question, mine wears a Nikon.

Bomb proof and better glass……of course I am prejudice. I’ve used Trijicon in the Middle East down range, on both my work rifle and pistol daily and on all my personal platforms. I bet my life on that brand every day.

Thanks for the feedback, I’ll def take a look at them.

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
