I am curious. A solid gun. Why are you selling it? I feel the 375 roy is the best of all. 2800 with a 300 and if you have to you can shoot h&h shells in it.

I bought a new Alaskan 375. A 3 inch shooter and kicked like a mule. I put a McGown 5 weight on it in a 375 weatherby at 25 inches. What it should have been from the factory. Original barrel measured .640at the muzzle. 375, really? Now it shoots an inch and a man can stand to shoot it. I also bought a 338 Alaskan model 70.Every shot it climbed up and left an inch. I think Winchester has a ways to go in stress relieving after they hammer forge the barrels.

Not a short answer so please stand by. First off this is the 375 Weatherby not the 378. You can fire a 375 H&H in it and get Weatherby out just as you do the AI. It is a solid gun. Bottom line? Got this rifle to take hunting in Alaska in case a bear decided to make a casual encounter into a lethal one. To that end I put the picatinny rail on it with a 1.5-6 Swarovski PH with a rail then got a quick detachable mount. With the scope and ammunition it's 10.1# on the bathroom scale. That should make the bare rifle with rail about 8.5#. I love the rifle. I'd already asked my gunsmith to install a muzzle brake with the intent to use it for elk as well. Then I built my 338 Rum! It'll kill anything on the continent and it's already 2# lighter. Once this is sold I'll get a carbon stock from Oregonsmithing and the 338 will be less than 7# with a scope!

I understand. The 338 is more versatile. I bought a defiance controlled round feed rebel and put a schnieder 5P barrel on it and chambered to the 338rum with the borerider throat. Wyatt,s box. I am expecting 3100 with a 250 but it is down in the stock but not glassed yet. I have thigh deep snow here now so it will have to wait for a month. Call me an old-timer but the stock is a rollover cheekpiece laminated and I have a VX6 2-12 scope for it in talley one piece mounts. A killer. I have 3 boxes of the old partition gold 250,s. Kill anything that walks and breathes.

Yop... that's the 375 alright! If I use the magnum PAST recoil pad on my shoulder it's fine. The RossBrakes 4 port really tamed the 338 and that's what I was going to do. I wear hearing protection when I hunt because there's not one rifle you can shoot without damaging your hearing. 30 years of hearing unprotected gunfire and other loud noises ruined my hearing. I wear hearing aides now.

Decades ago Colonel Charles Askins wore an article about being limited to one rifle. He chose, and McAfee the case for, a 340 Weatherby - a virtual ballistic twin of the RUM. However when the SHTF and something is trying to eat you a 375 is comforting to have in your hands they tell me.

I wasn,t being a smart as^. My high frequency is gone too. If everything is quiet I am fine. Go to a pub with a lot of background noise I need to read lips.

 

[The Hock]

Oh! Missed it.

 

[The Hock]

Didn't realize how much I read lips until I got hearing asides!

The rum with a good barrel will outdo the 340. I have both.My 340 is a 25 inch lilja and 2900 is about it. My 338rum I used to have until somebody just had to have it was a 26 inch hart.R25 and a 250 it went 3000. As far as expanding bullets go I feel energy is energy. When I went to Africa I took a 375 h%h for eland and a 28 nosler for the smaller plains game.Of coarse I always had the wrong rifle in my hands. I shot an eland with both. 300 partitions in the 375 and 175,s in the 28. I couldn,t tell any difference. But push the 375 out past 300 yards and it got pretty tired. I shot backup on a wildebeest at about 350. Boy shot it with a 180 in an 06 and not much. I shot it with the 375. After a long tracking job we finally got it. Hung it up at the skinning shed and the 375 bullet fell out of the shoulder. I was not very impressed. If I had the 28 nosler there would not have been a tracking job.

I have a .375 Weatherby and, if you get somebody to bid on the rifle only without the accessories above, get ahold of me because I may make a bid on the accessorles separate from the rifle.
