Let me start by saying I am pretty gun dumb. I want to have a 375 H&H built and i was curious what calibers could be switchet to 375? Looking at some of the Winchester CRF actions it seems like it would be cheaper to buy another caliber and have it made into what i want. Thanks for any input you may have.

Any reason you are not just purchasing a m70 375 HH?

Unless you are left-handed, it's easier to just buy a .375H&H.

I would just buy a M70 already in 375, several for sale here and other sites.

By the time you go through the gunsmith wait (according to the post in Custom Rifles Forum) your safari time will have come and gone!!!

remington 700
winchester long action
enfield p14/m17
remington model 30
almost any mauser, if you want to spend alot of money
ruger long actions (long meaning 30-06/300 win/7rem length) also can be..

cheapest route - cz550 in 375hh - you can have it in your hands for less than the usual cost of reworking the above

next best in terms of cost, 375hh in a new model 70

charles daly/marx x, remington 798 in 375 -- is also a good choice.

however, let me tell you this, then you can ignore it ... a 375 ruger or 416 ruger is going to be your lowest cost of entry

and if you reload, the 458 win/458lott is the cheapest and easiest to feed

Jeffe nailed it for an entry big bore purchase. Get a Howa in 375 Ruger. If you're sorting through your gunsafe for something to convert then probably a Remington 700 in any magnum caliber is good start.

thanks guys guess ill just go the winchester or cz route.

Any long action M70 or R700 could be modified to take the 375 H&H, but honestly you can buy one cheaper, already done, from winchester or Remington, then putting one together. It SEEMS cheaper at first, but once you figure in the barrel, threading it, chambering it, having it finished, and coated/blued, then having the action worked on and the parts that might be needed for it to feed right, then modifying the stock to fit...when its all said and done you'll spend more then the 1000-1300 to flat out buy a Winchester 375 H&H.

Remington has a .375 H&H 100th Anniversary Model 700. It lists for $1450, but you should be able to get into one for $1100 or $1200. Check with your local gunshop to see if they have one or ask them to order one for you.
