First .375

Ok so I took the rifle and my sticks to work today hoping to get a few minutes to shoot this thing and finally this afternoon got the chance to stop at our makeshift range. Or course I forgot the targets but that’s what a sharpy is actually invented for, correct?

I was firing the only ammo I could find, PPU 300 gr SP RN at 50 yards off sticks with open sights and shitty eyesight. (Gotta get a scope)

First shot - 4 inches low
Second - confirmed
Adjusted rear sight
Third shot - 1 1/4 in left
Adjusted rear a little more
Fourth shot - 1 1/4 high and 1 in right
Take out earplugs, check phone, 3 missed calls, gotta go.

It appears the rifle shoots really well. :giggle:
With a scope, better ammo, and more range time, it’ll be a tack driver I think. I’m happy.

Thanks! I wil do that.
If they say in stock and you get ammo, could you let me know here or a PM? I’ve recommended a few times based on my experience last year but nothing recently.

Absolutely

They did have one box in stock and $42.50. But they’ve sure got it all figured out cuz shipping is $31. Lol.

So it’s $73.50 anyway.

Still cheaper but they hook you with $40 and clobber you with the shipping.
It’s within driving distance for me but they’re saying online orders only. :unsure:
 
Well I stepped off the big(ger) bore ledge today finally.
I picked up my new unfired Winchester M70 Alaskan in .375 H&H Mag. I don’t often get too excited but I’m pretty whipped up to get shooting this gun.
Thanks @Vagrouser !!
Now to find ammo. Ugh. Seems nobody carries it in my area but, of all places, a pawn shop in a nearby town claims to have some. Checking that out tomorrow.

I have some 350gr woodleigh protected point ammo premium ammo. 20 per box. I can sell you $75 per box a minimum of 5 or a case of 12 for $850. Plus you pay shipping. The minimum is so because UPS is 25 miles each way for me.

Thank you, I will certainly keep you in mind. Right now I have 200 rounds coming in from three different places thanks to all you great people, plus what I already have so I’m good to go for a little while. Thank you so much!

@Randy F
You have entered the darkside mate.
Next comes the pith helmet, double rife, alas of fine liquor and a pipe. Sitting in your red leather chesterfield chair dreaming of future hunts on the continent.
