Don't know why the photo did not print out but it is a left handed bolt rifle and you can see the photo on my web page www.huntrs-hq.com. Just click on the Current Guns button.
Thanks for your interest.

Harry I may have an interest in the left handed 375. I know little about different guns. Could you tell me more about this gun and what is a NIB winchester model 70?

Thanks
George

George,



If you are left handed and looking for a .375 H&H, you should seriously consider this rifle. It is my understanding that left handed .375 H&Hs are hard to find. This is the classic Model 70 with controlled-round-feed (CRF), a necessity for dangerous game rifles. Get a gunsmith to glass bed it and smooth out the trigger (if needed) and you have all the rifle you will ever need.

P.S.

Mims, put that Crown Royal bottle down. You can't even get a link to your webpage correct.

NIB = new in box

Thanks Terry!

I have not heard anything about requiring a caliber larger than 375H&H. Anything is possible but I don't believe that will happen.
I also sell Mod. 70's and Dakota Arms in 416 Rem. Mag. but...no left hand offerings from Win. (except from custom shop) sooooo...
In the many years I have been selling firearms I have never sold a 416 Wby. I think I may have ordered some ammo for a client once but not even sure about that.
I do not even know somebody that owns a 416 Wby. but I know a truckload of folks that own the Rem. Mag. or Rigby version. That should tell you something.
The Rem. Mag. far outsells the Rigby in the years I have been selling big bore rifles. Matter of fact...I sell as many 416 Rem. Mags. as I sell 375 H&H.
At least you have a good chance of finding ammo in Africa for the Rem. Mag. and the Rigby. I have no idea where you would find Wby. in 416.

Harry,
Thanks for the information. I do have interest in the gun but I was at a gun show today and learned that some of the countries are considering changing the minimum caliber for DG to 4.0 or larger. Have you heard this and do you know if it is true? I am looking for this gun for that purpose for some time in the future. I met a another person at the show that has a weatherby lefty in 416 weatherby mag. Is this a good caliber and is getting ammo difficult in other countries?

Thanks
George
