A few details and a pic or two would be considered quite acceptable.

I got the M70 that Tarawa had in the classifies on here. As soon as it arrives I will post up some pics. ( I don't know if I can move his to here )
Spike ,
I am really wanting a double , but I also want a Freedom Arms revolver chambered in 500 Wyoming Express ...we will see.

well as its me you need the double a .450 or .470 would complement the .375 nicely :thumb:

You'll love the .375! Your next dilemma is choice of bullet.

 

[Heym 88]

DO NOT!! I REPEAT!! DO NOT get a double. They are extremely addictive and may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure!

If Tarawa said it's a keeper then it is!

You should'a talked him out of a few of those nasty old DR's that he has laying around wasting away. (Right George?)

Mike ,
I may just try that very thing. He talks very fondly of them though...

 

[AkMike]

I happen to know for a fact that he's got a rare 9.3X74R that he's never shot before.. But it shot great for me!

Welcome to the .375 owners club. Just bought my first one two mouths ago. What a fun gun to work up loads for. Every time I come home from the range I have a big grin on my face. My wife thinks I have a new girlfriend, but that's a different story. Think it will need a new barrel before it ever gets out of the country on a hunt.

 

[death-from-above]

Thanks , short ride.
I can't wait !

I bought one this summer..and have a thread on here about scope/ring options.

It's a damn nice rifle... What type of glass are you thinking?

Actually went to the range this am...just shooting some light 230gr hand loads, then will probably go 270gr.

 

[Bobpuckett]

Took my 375 I bought this year to the deer woods today opening day for rifle season here in Alabama using 270gr Sierra Game King, rifle really loves them I was ready for the biggest one that walked out! They must have gotten word never seen the first one.:laughing:

We (myself and my two sons) started with a 375 H&H, now we have a 375 Weatherby, 416 Rem and 500 Jeffery. I think we've topped out as far as our recoil tolerance goes. Love all three rifles.

Loper,
I am thinking low power...that being said , I have looked at the longer range ballistics and may now set up a low power scope load and a higher power scope and load with detachable rings on both. Guess I will let the accuracy gods make my mind up for me.
Bob,
I am originally from GA , and have hunted AL all my life. Hunting there is one of the few things I miss about the southeast. We have some super whitetail hunting out here , but it just ain't the same as hunting them in the hardwoods...
Colorado,
I understand... I can't decide now if my next toy will be a double in 470NE or a Freedom Arms 500 Wyoming Express. I could go for both , but the child support and alimony would be more than I could bear. Decisions ...

You could buy a half dozen FA guns for what a good double would cost you!

Something in the 2-8X range could fit both purposes. I have an affection for high power scopes using them for the diminutive Coues deer for long range shots. But a .375 is generally for larger game and 8x will take you to 300 yards no problem.
