Savage 116

[1972RedNeck]

Picked up a Savage 116 in 375 H&H. Have a couple 375 WBYs that started life as H&Hs.

Any problems/reasons not to have this one rechambered to 375 WBY?

I see you like to devalue your rifles. I say go for it, whatever makes your clock tick. But seriously the value will decrease.

The extra fps is in my opinion not worth it for a rechambering. Especially if you already have a rifle in the same weatherby caliber.

I also just started seeing the Weartherby Weatherguard model with the grey cerakote on it. Anyone have any info on their Weatherguard they'd like to share and maybe how it compares to the Winchester XPR? I think i'll either stick to the 270 or get a 6.5 creedmore , can't decide which.

Couldn't care less about value. Especially this one since I got it for $650 with a Leupold scope.

Mainly I like to tinker, reload, and I like firearms that can shoot multiple cartridges.

Then I understand. iirc does the 375 weatherby also shoot the 375 h&h munition?

In Europe we have the 375 Blaser that also can shoot 375 h&h munition

Yes, the 375 WBY fires H&H ammo perfectly resulting in nicely formed 375 WBY brass.
