[QUOTE="Bhamab, post: 1562158, member: 85111"] I have had the good fortune of owning five different .375 H&H's. Three of them I had built by two of the top custom rifle makers in the country. I loved all of them and have taken everything from brown bear on Kodiak Island to dik dik in Africa with them. To this you can add game up to and including cape buffalo, giraffe, and hippo to name but a few. My son has even taken elephant with his .375. From my experience with numerous rifles chambered in .375 I have developed some very strong opinions of how a .375 should be made, and "who," should build it. Here are how I had my last two .375's built and in my opinion they are perfect. I will also add that the finest custom rifle maker I have used even said after building one of my .375's to my specifications that my rifle was the "sweetest shooting'" .375 that he had ever built. here are the facts: 1) build it on a Winchester model 70 barreled action in .375 H&H caliber A) Have rifle smith "re square and true'" action and barrel 2) use the stock Winchester barrel cut to 22 inches with a benchrest crown 3) stock the rifle in an Obeche wood laminated stock A) Obeche wood is very dense and heavier than other woods but not excessive. The added weight helps tame recoil and the laminated stock helps stability 4) I prefer a one piece steel scope base and a NightForce 2.5x10 scope 5) I also prefer a set of NECG open sights mounted in place of the original factory Winchester sights just in case 6) I prefer a Kepplinger set trigger but will tolerate a Jewel trigger 7) Most important, without any equivocation, Ray Riganian of Peerless Rifles would build my rifle. Not bragging but I have several custom built rifles and even a couple of Holland and Holland royal double rifles. Of all of my rifles, my Riganian Peerless rifles are my favorites and I would strongly recommend Ray to build my .375. And I would build it just as I have recommended. My Winchester custom rifles shoot 300 grain Barnes monolithic solids and 300 grain Swift A Frame bullets to the same point of impact and they're accuracy is sub 0.5 MOA. Good Luck [/QUOTE]
