1/3 boiled linssed oil, 1/3 terpentine and a 1/3 beewax. Heat it carefully and apply when cold. Buff if needed. Great result.

So, did you read my post about my sako in 375? Ive put about 4000 rounds in that one in 4,5 years.. Do you still call that unlikly? I just wanted to know if a m70 is quality enought for that. Not have to defend my shooting habits. Also..i promise i shoot real good in larger calibers. Just so...

Used to have a finnbear in 375 H&H. I have fired at least 4000 rounds through it. Dont know how many before me.. but it was rebarreld. Love it, but parts are not easily available any more and its getting real worn.. Also dont care for new sakos. The R8, actually i own one. But will sell it...

Dont live in US, thats why..

Thanks for all the welcome! I guess what im asking for is a reliable gun in 375 that one could not only take hunting but also shoot alot without the gun breaking down. Of course i do understand barrel wear, but thats not really the question. Another way to put it, is the modern model 70...

Care to elaborate about the safety?

Yeah, i wasnt thinking about barrel life, but more so about pitting on locking lugs, worn out trigger, cracked stock and so on.. The barrel, well.. thats no problem.

Looking for a new rifle. It should be a 375 H&H. I enjoy both shooting and hunting. Maybe 500 rounds a year, and thats with this one rifle that i have i mind. Been looking at portuguise made M70. But will it hold for the extensive use? Other suggestions?
