Elite Hunting Outfitters

Around the Kitchener/Waterloo, ON area. This rifle may only see some whitetail and moose hunts for a couple years lol.

Yes, I will definitely be keeping an eye out for them. Most of my rifles have Talley mounts, it’s the good stuff.

There was no sleeping on this decision..

Hello Everyone, I do a lot of post reading but don’t post much myself. Thought I’d share a rifle I just purchased. Found a Pre 64 M70 in the much loved 375 H&H. Rifle was built in 1959. Found it at a local shop on consignment. An old fellow (90+) was selling his much beloved firearms. I...

Ok thanks for sharing! I agree I think it’s an incorrect spring issue. I’ve sent an email to the Canadian Warranty Service for Winchester, advising I have the wrong spring in my rifle. Now we wait.. Good thing moose hunting is over for this year and I don’t need the rifle up an running!

I am fairly confident the magazine box is correctly seated in its cut out/ mated with the action. Question for you guys with your rifles. How snug is the connection between the magazine spring and the follower? Mine is very sloppy and easy to separate the two. I wonder if the extra play is...

Was looking into is there is a parts supplier on our side of the border. Lol the latter would be the dream.

Interesting, yeah mine was a mess trying to cycle cartridges, as expected given the binding. In addition, taking apart the rifle I noticed the rear action screw threads had galling, not cross threaded but weird for a new rifle. May have gotten a lemon, might be sending it back home for good.

Ontario Hunter, I wondered the same if an incorrect part was installed. Yes I pushed all the way down on the follower, the rear is wedged near the bottom and the front is pointed all the way up. Hmm wonder if Winchester would send just the parts up to Canada.

Hey guys, I just received a new Safari Express in 375. have not shot it yet, already experiencing an issue. The follower is binding with the internal box magazine. It will not fully drop either empty or with cartridges. I’ve taken the action out and put it back together thinking it may not be...

Sorry forgot to ask, what height were the Talleys?

Great to hear! So no issues with the length of the tube fitting a magnum length action?

Mark, When you had this on your Model 70, how did it fit? I’ve got a Model 70 in 375 H&H on the way. Looking at the VX5 2-10 for it, my concern is the tube will not have adequate mounting space. I’m hoping to avoid having the front mount protrude rearward over the action port. Curious to know...
