Winchester .375 question

Iv'e got mine set up for plains game and old eyes, so I opted for Leupold VX2 6x18, not a ton of money for a scope and the other VX2s I own in various magnifications work pretty well, of course Some QD mounts are a given
 
I'm not sure what the differences re between the Safari and a regular M70 chambered for 375 H&H, but the one that I shoot is fine. It's a 1937 action that's been rebarrelled and restocked, but otherwise it's standard magnum M70. I've not handled a CZ or Brno, but those people that I know that have them, like them. I don't know that there's a functional difference, once as noted, the rough spots are smoothed.
 
I was able to handle several different models before I settled on one; CZ, Ruger, Montana Rifle, Hyem and Winchester. All of them had high points, but I ultimately just felt comfortable with the Winchester. I bought a M70 Safari, the only mods I made was some trigger work from my gunsmith and I had it aluminum pillar bedded. It is around a 1" gun with some factory rounds and under that with hand-loads. I took it to Africa last month and it preformed excellent.

hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
