Dr BModle 70 Pre-64 Action
How much should I expect to pay for a 375 H&H action. I don't want the barrel or stock except for resale.

Mickey1All pre 64 actions are the same so just buy a trashed '06 and your sweet.
Around here $4-500.00

lb404Mickey1, you are pretty much off base on price. I will buy 10 of the 375 pre-64 model 70 actions you can sell me for $400.00 to $500.00 right now if unaltered in any way. I buy and sell lots of Winchester rifles every year. They (375 actions) haven't been that cheap it more than 10 years.

FjoldThere was a magnum length Pre-64 action for sale on 24 Hour campfire but the guy was asking $700 for it.

Idaho SharpshooterI go with lb404 here. A-N-Y 300/375 P64 has serious value unless it has been butchered beyond restoration. I have seen them, in the past two-three years, go over $1000 with screwholes for a sidemount and/or top mount scope bases and shortened stocks. There just were not many 300/375's built...and too many were "weatherby-bastardized" by rechambering, etc. Leave it to somebody who will cherish it for what it is now, and get a 270 or '06...over half were in those two coaibers IIRC.

dan belisleAny idea what a pre 64 action that was originally a 338 is worth? I picked one up a few months ago for $350 CDN, I just wanted it to build another project rifle. - dan

Savage99You might find a complete rifle thats been rechambered from 300 HH to 300 Weatherby for a decent price?
The last one I saw here was a parts gun made up into a 300 HH using all original Win. stuff and it went for $700 but that was last year.
Not sure what you want the action for but just glancing at gunbroker found this one starting at $1300. It's not all that bad for a gun you could shoot now.
Pre 64 375 HH

lb404the stock looks OK. The barrel is bobbed to 23" no collector here. Might be worth about $1000.00 depending upon if it is an honest rifle.

nopride2The 300 and 375 pre '64 actions were going for $700.00 to $750.00 here in Washington a couple of years ago.
