375h&h barrel length

I would try hunting with the factory barrel length first.
If I see that the length bothers me, then I would decide to shorten it.
However, you should try all variants.
One thing is certain.
You can shorten it only once, and you can never extend it again

I'd do what Miletic suggested.
Your Alaska hunt is next year. Hunt with it this year as is where you are & see if you like it, or if you really need it shorter.

I had a huge debate with myself regarding this. I ended up trimming my Mod70's barrel to 20", and had it threaded for a silencer.
Tally QD basis and rings now allow me to interchange and shoot a 1-4×20 scope zeroed at 50m without the silencer. And a 4-12×44 scope zeroed at 100m with the silencer fitted.
The weight of the 4" piece of barrel that was cut off, is now displaced by the weight of the silencer - which improves the overall balance again.
Velocity loss was minimal enough to allow me to shoot as per usual.

Since then, the rifle has taken all the dangerous game species available, a bunch of the Tiny-10 and ton of PG.

IMHO: Cut the barrel down to 20" and enjoy your rifle.

If you cut the barrel and then added a can, what did you gain except a can?

Better accuracy and less recoil. I have kids and ladies now being able to use the rifle without being recoil shy.

Hi - the only (best) method of sending you the .375/06IMP data is with photographing my book notes. My camera died so the only way I can do it is with my phone. To do that, I would need your e-mail address, as this
new Android phone is too complicated to upload to my desk computer, which would be easier and to down-grade, reduce the file sizes.
Best wishes
Daryl

Hey Steve, This is Steve Washington we met at KMG last year. I am interested in your Winchester. Would love to speak with you about it. I work third shift and I cannot take a phone with me to work. Let me know a good time to call during one of your mornings. My phone is [redacted]. Live in Florida so I have to account for the time difference.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Good day, Slider.

Do you by any chance have any 500NE brass left that you are willing to part ways with?

Best regards,
Boela Bekker.
