Sweet gun lever, always been a fan of those, the gun not so much the caliber. Not saying there's anything wrong with it, just not for me. I could see me having the gun in a 300 win or something like that.

But sweet looking unit.

 Thanks Walleyes. Yep, although I like the 375 H&H , you know older cartage, lots of history behind it, a proven game stopper. I would have liked to get the gun in a non mag cal.like a 280,30-06. But the thing about this one is, to my knowledge they only produced a 150 in the 375 H&H as a shot show special. So it does add that bit of "special" to my collection.

Ha, yep managed re-coil  :-\. It's not to bad really, with the decelerator pad and shooting 265 grain, it tames it down a bit. It's not a plinking gun that's for sure. I have had a few people ask me why I need a gun like that. I did't understand the question, so did't answer.  :o

Nice gun LA.

As for plinking, Would it be possible to shoot lead cast bullets at lower velocities through that little sweetheart of yours? :)

You know maybe, I'm going to look into that. I know with my 45-70 and 444, I shoot "cowboy loads" not sure about the 375, maybe. Thanks greylynx.
