We love the 375 H&H and Ruger bush thumper Photo thread!

[Hyena]

Blaser R93.
Love that rifle with the .375 H&H

 

[Kevin375]

It will be a pity to give up to my other rifles, but I had to keep only one caliber, it would be the .375 H&H magnum.
I have been hunting with this caliber since 2010, a bit in Africa of course but also in driven hunt and sometimes for the walk and stalk.
My rifle is a Blaser R93. First I used it with a classic woodstock but it cracked. So, I left this stock in the safe and I bought a professional stock much stronger. It started its life with a Zeiss 3-12x56, and now I use it with a Leica 2.4-16x56. I also have a Swarovski Z6i 1-6x24 for driven hunt. I removed the factory trigger and I have fitted a Bix'n Andy trigger that is awesome.
Here are some games hunted with "Black Mamba". This nickname comes from a Namibian girl I introduced to hunting and handling rifles. She found its recoil pretty aggresive and strong, and because of its colour (grey stone), she called it "Black mamba" !

I also had the opportunity to borrow, use and hunt a little bit with a Krieghoff side by side double rifle.

Nice rifle and well balanced.

 

[Hyena]

Have the Bix N Andy trigger as well. Stock R93 trigger is great, but feel that trigger steps it up a notch.

Another 375 Caliber I am considering is the 375 Raptor
Based off the 308 Winchester case.
Load examples:
235 grain : 2,400-2,675 fps : 3,005-3,734 ft-lbs
270 grain : 2,200-2,400 fps : 2,901-3,453 ft-lbs
400 grain : 1,061 fps : 1,000 ft-lbs
I have an AR10 sitting there begging for a barrel change. Another route would be a short action Savage 110. Projects and projects.

I have yet to fire my new .375 H&H which I got at the end of april after 14 months build time but I expect it will be my got-to-rifle for big game for the forseeable future.

Hi KJ,

Very nice rifle!! Details...?

 

[Clodo Ferreira]

This is mine: Winchester 70 pre 64 made in 1954.
As all true H&H pre 64, both 300 and 375, has a magazine for 4 cartrides without a big belly.

 

[KJE81]

Hi KJ,

Very nice rifle!! Details...?

Thank you, it is a custom rifle built on a Mauser M98/DWM Argentine action. I ordered it 14 months ago from a german gun smith, it was well worth the wait

 

[Clodo Ferreira]

Thank you KJ! Very nice, indeed!

My go to bush rifle. A custom Pre 64 Mod 70 375H&H

 

[Andrew62]

Kimber Talkeetna .375H&H, barrel cut down from 24” to 20”, stock cerakoted to look like an antique wood gun. This rifle has served me well on many trips to Africa!

Sable #2
Ruger Alaskan

 

[Schüler Jumbo]

My wife’s custom built .375 H&H by Sterling Davenport. Sterling fit her perfectly; 1947 FN Mauser action, 25” Krieger barrel, and “Davenported”. She has taken both dangerous game and plains game with the rifle.

 

[Tintin]

My .375 H&H seeing some cull action with Henry earlier this year. We had a ball and provided a healthy dose of quality, organic protein to local communities.

Thanks for a great week @HENRY GRIFFITHS SAFARIS

I always wanted a 416 Rigby but ended up with a 375HH because that was what I could find at the time. Now, I have two of them. Both are nice and have never let me down.

• FN Browning with Swarovski Z6i 1-6x optic. Used to take Whitetail buck in WV and Blue WB in Limpopo on my 1st Safari.
• Enfield P14 ER Shaw custom with Kahles K16i 1-6x optic. Used to take Cape Buffalo in Free State and Kudu in Limpopo. One of the most accurate rifles I own.

Matched pair of FN's - 375HH on Left and 308 on Right​

Lovely Shaw Custom P14 Enfield
