Bass Pro 375 H&H

Cannot address everyone's taste in the esthetics on this rifle, but, the Model 70 made today is better than the ones made prior to 1964. I have shot both extensively and had accuracy issues as well as mechanical issues with the old ones. I much prefer and do not buy the pre-64 hype machine by "collectors'.
If you want a pretty rifle, then this one works. If you like CZ, they work. If you like the Ruger version, they work.
After 15 trips to Africa, the rifle is not the "end all be all". The shooter is the key and being able to hit what you aim at. On half my trips I used camp guns. Never had an issue.
I ask every PH what they want to see in a hunter. They answer the following -
1. Be in decent physical shape.
2. Have broken in boots.
3. Listen to the PH.
4. Be able to hit what they aim at.
5. Be able to handle the caliber they bring or use.
6. Use a .375 HH bolt rifle.

I have never heard one say - "Gosh, I am glad you brought that pretty rifle" or "I am so glad you use a .500 Buffalo Stomper". A rifle is an inanimate tool... It has no life and does what you direct it to do. You never see a carpenter stand in front of a house with a picture of him and his hammer. I never get the love affair with a tool.

I won't even say what they say about doubles, single shots, bows or lever guns. At the end of it, the PH wants to give you a great experience. Being able to shoot is a big part. So use what works.

Very well said!
 
Guys, it’s not worth overthinking. It’s a very nice offering, and will serve a new owner very well.
 
I think this is how the Win Mod 70 Safari Express should be in its basic form, maybe without the engraving though. For the special edition here, I'd be more interested in a 416. I do understand why they would choose the 375 H&H, probably will sell better.

Thank you for the LIKE on my old post. It brought back memories as I lost her a year and a half ago, at 18+ years.
