Hi I wonder if there are somebody hunting with shortbarrei 375H&H in Africa? I feel my barrel is too long and want it shorter like 20-22 inches for better handling. if you use a short barreled 375 or have exprience please tell me about it. regards YES Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy; its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery. | ||

My .375 has a 23-inch barrel and is just about perfect. A lot depends on the gun, of course, but I feel 23-inches is just about the minimum. Too much muzzle flip and muzzle blast for my liking with most short-barrelled big bores. | |||

My Brno 602 in 375 and my CZ 550 in 416Rigby are both 21" and have both been used in Africa with much success with the 416 taking my last Elephant. I find them to be most handy especially when getting in and out of a truck cab. They swing good and just feel RIGHT. SCI Life Member NRA Patron Life Member DRSS | |||

I have a .375H&H and a .458Lott with 22 and 23 inch barrels respectively and am very happy with them. .375 is a CZ 550 and the .458 a custom ZKK602 | |||

Ruger’s Hawkeye Alaskan has a 20 inch barrel. I shot one in 375 Ruger and I liked the rifle but I ended up buying a CZ. I liked the balance of the gun but I wanted a longer barrel. If you want a short barrel, light gun, I recommend looking at the Ruger. | |||

There are lots of short barreled 375's in Alaska. Depending on how they are set up I like them. _______________________________ | |||

Agree that 23" works well for my .375, a Dakota 76 and my only bolt rifle. It doesn't handle anywhere near as well as either of my doubles with 24 or 26 inch barrels... | |||
