[QUOTE="Guy M, post: 1487488, member: 8622"] I fell hard for the 375 H&H several years ago. Picked up a nice used Ruger Number One along with a mess of ammo, dies and components. I've shot several black bear with that rifle. The farthest just a bit beyond 300 yards, using the 260 gr Nosler Accubond. The closest at about 15 feet. It had been wounded by another hunter and I went into the brush to find it. I could hear that bear moving and breathing but couldn't see it! Finally found the bear and shot it. That worked I've got an older 3x Leupold on it now. Seems to work well with the rifle.

They wanted a ridiculously low price for it, so it went home with me. I have hunted absolutely nothing with it, but it sure is a nice rifle. Had thought about taking it to Alaska for grizzly, but chose my 30-06 for that hunt instead. Someday I'll get the Model 70 on a hunt. [img]https://i.imgur.com/bLiT2OXl.jpg[/img] The 375 is a great cartridge. Plenty of power, yet the recoil seems to be more of a big push, rather than a sharp rap. I thoroughly enjoy handloading for my 375's, and practicing with them at the range. It's an easy cartridge to live with, though even the most inexpensive factory ammo is, expensive!
