[QUOTE="bluefish, post: 1526413, member: 22424"] More than 20 years ago, I had the opportunity to purchase a lightly used M70 Safari in .375 It has always been the favorite in a gun safe housing much more expensive custom rifles. Like many I grew up reading the tales from Jack O'Conner who was a big fan of the .375 and wrote glowingly about the cartridge I always wanted one. My .375 has been used on elk, moose, and free range nilgai in Texas (which might be the toughest critter in the bunch to knock down). The nilai guides often carry .375s for backup. It has also been loaned to make a trip the South Africa and performed very well with mostly one-shot kills on plains game. The ammo can be bought just about anywhere big game is hunted. The rifle is quite accurate to 300 - 400 yards with factory or handloaded ammo, and flattens game animals like nothing I have used, and that includes .338 Win Mags and the like This is not a supper sizzle, long range round like the big mags, but a classic old veteran that is still getting it done in the game fields all over the world. Every dedicated rifleman deserves one. [/QUOTE]
