New rifle

Nice rifle! Where did you get the ammo? Haha!

Any pics ?

This is apparently the only one I took before I sold it showing the finish and the checkered on the wrist.

Got my first .375 H&H. Winchester mod 70 classic super express. Made in New Haven. Over the moon.

Congratulations! Gotta love that. Enjoy!

I'd recommend getting comfortable with the 375 until it's no big deal to shoot off 4 full power cartridges with good accuracy before stepping up. Lots of dry fire practice will help. Took me about a year of weekly live fire practice (with daily dry fire) to be 100% confident...but everyone is different.

I picked up a 416RM and was getting comfortable with it...then made the call to sell it. I couldn't justify having it for the number of times I expect to hunt DG. The lightweight (7.75# bare rifle) and easy shooting 375 made this an easy decision. I have no regrets for having purchased the 416, but in the end it wasn't really necessary for me.

EDIT - Me shooting the 416 at a friends house...

Share a few pics of yours when you get it to the range.

I will take pics when I’m shooting it. I will keep practicing

Beautiful piece. Welcome to AH. Looks like it was made in the 1990s.

2005 apparently

Gateway bore for sure. I started with a 375 , got comfortable over a decade and a half or so, then came the 458 win, then the 458 Lott, then a 416 Rigby, then a 470 double, and a few more 375 mixed in along the way
The 375 is a beauty!

Would love a .416 next and then a .470 double

Beautiful rifle, congratulations. Look forward to seeing the first dead paper photos! Then, some blood.
