New 375 H&H Mag.

Why? Who the heck knows with me anymore! God knows I do not need it with all the Big Bore Bees in the stable. Anyway she is getting Warne steel bases and rings and a Meopta optima 5 2x10x42mm PA.
Stock will be redone and Sako extractor installed soon. Never been a fan of the Rem 700 extractors. Too flimsy for me. Them Wyoming prairie dogs will charge you know!

Very nice Fotis!
Does it have a 24" barrel?
StaBall 6.5 is excellent in the 375 H&H. 81.0 grs with a 260 gr AB or E-Tip will get you where you want to be.
Congratulations buddy.

Yes 24 " BDL. What velocity are you getting with Staball 6.5

 

[truck driver]

Boy you are all setup now should one of those man eating prairie dogs charge.

 

[Dr. Vette]

Fotis - they're coming!

 

[JD338]

I'm getting 2725 fps with the 260 E-Tip from the 24" M21

Nice score Fotis. Those were well built Remingtons!

Hope I got a good one. Win 70's were unubtainium under $2k+in the same condition. This one has 23 rounds through it.

I am not a Remington guy per se, but they made some great rifles and from what I see, their new ones are quite good as well. I am betting that 375 will be darned good. You keeping the standard trigger?

 

[JD338]

FWIW, mine has doubled as a varmint stopping rifle. This woodchuck charge was stopped decisively with a Speer 270 gr SPBT.

Always loved the 375 a most undervalued cartridge on this continent.

For now yes. I adjusted it to 2 LBS
This one was born in 1998.

I had an all-weather Ruger 77 Hawkeye in 338 Wm that I took to Montana that I all most sent to J.E.S. to have it rebored to 375 H&H till I figured out why it wasn't shooting.

Nice find Fotis. If it doesn't shoot in the factory stock get a H&S Precision stock with the full metal bedding block to hold it down, that's what made the Ruger shoot since the 338Wm had so much torque it was trying to twist out of the stock.

 

[FOTIS]

Cool thank you!

 

[RL338]

Nice score.
If you sneak a 375 W reamer in it , you’ll should be able to handle those wile E coyotes then

 

[NYDAN]

Fotis,
Nice acquisition. You will have fun playing with that one.

 

[FOTIS]

Thought about it for a millisecond, but it will stay a classic. Besides if I need more power I can go to the 378 Bee

 

[Guy Miner]

Congrats on the new 375 H&H! Looks like a good and useful rifle.

If I can get her to shoot like yours Guy I will be happy.
