It is a very useful caliber. About a year ago I gave a Remington 798 (same rifle) in 375 H&H to a nephew. I can't help with price, but I can help you set the price. Buy, beg, borrow or steal at least 4 dummy or 20 live rounds. The builder might never have finished the work. If I was looking...

Oh, and water dish for the dog.

I don't like wearing hats, and I got the skin cancers to prove it, although a plastic surgeon did a great job rebuilding my ears. I no longer look like Dumbo. I normally wear one of those wadded up boonie hats hunting. But, I just have to tell the truth, the most comfortable hats I have ever...

Everything went right and I retired @53 in 2011. We moved back to my wife's home state of NJ and lived on a tidal creek. We did this for about a year, riding the tides and exploring the tidal marsh. One day on a whim she suggested going to an RV show (I had been trying to buy an RV for years...

As an earlier poster has stated. SHOOT IT FIRST!! Euro Optics is treating you right, but if it is a shooter, keep it.

Dulles to Cairo, just over 11 hours, one way $451 each on Turkish. Do momma's thing then Qatar to, say Harare, 15 hr, $371. Then back to Dulles on Qatar $723. The prices are each, about 2 weeks out. So sure, why not??? It is just a cost of the hunt!!! If you sort through flights and times...

It is also important to know how your rifle is chambered. My current love is the Browning BLR. The three factory barrels I own, all came chambered sloppy from the factory. That is not a bad thing on a lever action rifle, since it lacks the strong camming action of a bolt action. They will...

Big head, no picture frame, and color shift. Go here to see what they want: https://www.uscurrency.gov/denominations

Another vote for the Haber process. It gives us food, smokeless powder, explosives, and just is a basic building block of civilization.

I have a BLR takedown with 3 barrels. US customs was OK, they filled out one 4457 for the rifle, and one for each barrel, calling each a spare barrel for the referenced rifle. I did this at Lubec, Maine. Not to cross but while on vacation. I should have taken it to Africa October, but did...

A hammer is best. A BLR in 300 win mag, 338 win mag and 375 Taylor. The rifle isn't even cocked, until I cock it. It can be done silently. So I have light, medium and medium heavy. I also use a Montana 1999, with the Winny style.

Savage made a rifle with an undercut bolt, and instead of a plunger ejector it had a standing ejector. My son is a lefty, and I bought him a Savage model 111. It has this style bolt and is a 300 RUM. When you start the bolt forward, the cartridge jumps up, under the extractor. You can pull...

BLR three barrel set. Homemade except for the reboring and trigger job. The biggest bore is a 375 Taylor, equal to 375 H&H. I messed up not taking it to Zim in 25, it will go to Canada for moose in 27.

Build a switch barrel just for fun. Here is mine:

I have killed only 1 ele with a 375 H&H, with a heart (aortic arch really) shot. Yes the 375 will get the job done. Take what you shoot the best. I will disagree with a lung shot. In ele the lungs are attached to the ribs and diaphragm with connective tissue. They don't get sucking chest...
