    Which .375 H&H ..... Montana Rifle or CZ 550 tuned

    Agreed. Weight depends on use. I want this to be a SS (or coated) rough weather carry rifle. I'm young enough that the weight won't bother me, but I also ask why carry more than necessary? A 9.0 - 9.5# all up .375 seems about ideal to me, at least in theory.

    Which .375 H&H ..... Montana Rifle or CZ 550 tuned

    I'll be able to pick the contour my CZ since he's really barreling as well. I should be able to hit 8.5# or so without too much fuss. Stock is 2.34, action 3.1, and 26" #4 bbl is 3.5. I don't plan on 26".

    Which .375 H&H ..... Montana Rifle or CZ 550 tuned

    Mod 70 is not ruled out, but I would either have the action tuned or look for a pre-64 going the Win route. I'd also prefer a SS action in a win since it has been available. I want a synthetic stock as well. The SS classic has too beefy of a barrel for my liking. Once I checked with Wayne...

    Which .375 H&H ..... Montana Rifle or CZ 550 tuned

    Thanks for all the input. Seems as I search, some guys are happy with the MRC, but enough are not to steer me away from them as s DGR. I may check out the Kimber SS offering or a M70 donor. I'll try to give Wayne a call and see what his thoughts are on the stocks and get a ballpark price...

    Which .375 H&H ..... Montana Rifle or CZ 550 tuned

    I know I'll be happy with the AHR, but it will take much longer to save up for it. But, if I'd end up having just as much in the MRC all said and done, I want this to be dead nuts reliable. I've also looked at that. If, in the end, it's more trouble free than the MRC, I've also considered...

    Which .375 H&H ..... Montana Rifle or CZ 550 tuned

    So I asked this in my other thread, but I figured I should just start a new one since it was buried deep. My plan is to get a nice .375 and call it good. I'm looking really hard at the MRC American Vantage in .375. I like the 8# +/- weight, but I have no experience with their rifles. Can anyone...

    I think I may plan a more practical approach and go with a nice .375 and call it good. I'm looking really hard at the MRC American Vantage in .375. I like the 8# +/- weight, but I have no experience with their rifles. Can anyone chime in on them? Are they a dependable, do all rifle that...

    Good to know. I'm sure I'll test them on something small just for fun. Worst case I'll get familiar with the rifle VERY cheaply.

    School me on .375, velocity, and Dangerous Game

    Purchase is not wrapped up yet,but it's been sitting a while. I already ordered 300 270gr from midway. $17.50 was too good to pass up. Worst case, I figured I could easily get my money back if I don't get a .375. Best case I have cheap plonk era and a bullet that will handle 95-100% of my...

    School me on .375, velocity, and Dangerous Game

    I think I can get the CZ for $800-$850 to my FFL, so add on $20 for the xfer. I think that's pretty good considering it is bedded and includes the rings as well.

    School me on .375, velocity, and Dangerous Game

    Thanks Chris. I think I've all but ruled out the 380. It doesn't make sense once I look past the cool factor of a wildcat. It is going to recoil almost EXACTLY the same as the H&H once you factor in the weight difference. I don't plan on humping this gun for miles at elevation. Now, I think...

    School me on .375, velocity, and Dangerous Game

    Rook - based on everything I've run, seems like the 404 is almost 25% more in a 1 pound heavier rifle. That's with a 9# .375 with 300gr at 2500 FPS and a 10# 404 with 400gr at 2400 FPS. I'm showing ~38 vs 52 for the recoil. That's what I was basing it on. Colorado - that CZ wood looks great...

    School me on .375, velocity, and Dangerous Game

    Thanks again! The more I run numbers and scenarios, the Howell doesn't likely make sense. Recoil is going to end up being the same due to rifle weights and that is really the only draw. I lose the ability to get a gun off the rack, I'm FORCED to hanldoad everything, plus a handful of other...

    That helps, so 9# is the benchmark for weight. Is that gun weight, or all up weight? Just wondering because I see the Kimber and Sako .375 both weigh 8# as rifles. They'd be right about 9# scoped.

    School me on .375, velocity, and Dangerous Game

    Thanks for the input. Seems like size/weight of the rifle never enters the equation for most people with experience. I guess maybe I'm just carrying over my bias from LW backpack style rifles. Ease of an off the shelf rifle is also a plus for the H&H.

    I was referring to a mono with the 270gr. I'm not sure I was clear in my OP. Basically, what I'm looking to know; What are your all's preferences for DG; a rifle that is 1# lighter but 100 FPS slower (380 Howell) or the added weight of the H&H for the added performance. I know the H&H is...

    Thanks for the input. 338- that is s good point about ammo. I always told myself I'd mail a couple different packages of ammo ahead of myself, but nothing is full proof. Rook- I'm not too worried about recoil in the 375, but I think I want to spend some time there before I jump into a 404. I...

    School me on .375, velocity, and Dangerous Game

    I def have the 404 bug. But, I have no experience with big recoilers. I want to spend some time with a 9.3/.375 class and work up. The .380 is actually a 30/06 sized case. It's longer and proprietary, so not just a modified /06. Brass is $1 (Bertram) and dies are $125. So, once you factor in...

    School me on .375, velocity, and Dangerous Game

    Im looking to put together my first larger bore. I was thinking about a .375 H&H, but then I stumbled onto the .380 Howell, and it seemed very logical. So, question is, will there be any difference on game? The Howell runs about ~100 FPS slower than the H&H. 270 gr at 2600 vs 2700 for the H&H...
