[QUOTE="LDHunter, post: 1489354, member: 105"] I picked up a used 375 H&H a few years ago and have been immensely happy with it. It's one of those inherently accurate cartridges like the 308 and the recoil although certainly a bit on the stout side is manageable for most experienced shooters or hunters. Mine is a Remington 700AWR and I mean the old Alaskan Wilderness Rifle not the new knockoff American Wilderness Rifle. Straight out of the custom shop these rifles are slicked up and smoothed out and it sports a McMillan "Kevlar" stock which only has some Kevlar fibers in it but they're still great stocks. Controlled Round Feed is ancient history and today's modern and improved actions are all completely reliable with a few exceptions. Several gun writers have agreed with this statement over the last 20 years or so. A perfect example is after 50 years of hunting with centerfire rifles I've never had an extraction problem or failure to feed with any centerfire rifle and I hunt mostly with Remington 700's and Model Sevens. The only modification I made to this rifle was to add a removable muzzle brake and while it was at the gunsmith I had him bead blast the crappy Teflon finish off of it and I'm totally happy with it. This rifle along with my Model Seven in 350 Remington Magnum round out my dangerous game battery. An elk or oryx hunt next year will hopefully give them both some field time because they're both a bit over the top for our scrawny Florida deer... LOL Anyway... You can't go wrong with a 375H&H if you don't mind the recoil and if you intend to use it for anything bigger than a whitetail or mulie. If you're looking for longer range than 500yds then a 338 Lapua might be a better choice but a 338 Winnie would suffice. Just one man's opinion... [/QUOTE]
