Picked up this one today.

Congratulations on a fine custom made to order magazine rifle. It is nice to have stock custom fit instead of having to fit oneself to a stock.
You picked the best overall gunmaker in Germany, therefore, the rifle will hold value very well.

I picked up a H&W catalogue when in Germany in the early 80's, they sure made/make some beautiful firearms. I am thinking your post title should read H&W 375 H&H?

Hartmann & Weiss KG know how to build rifles.

The perfect blend of German and English.

Bravo!

Super Nice, you have a “REAL” quality rifle there. Congratulations, that is a lifetime acquisition.

I hate you....
I love the rifle....
I am jealous....
I really don't hate you....
I need oil over $110 per barrel for a year to get one of these paid for....

I love it...

I hear you, my thoughts exactly.

Very nice rifle!
What is the weight of the rifle?
How long was your wait from the day you placed your order with H&W?

No cheekpiece is unusual, I'd sure like to actually see the rifle..maybe take it out of the case. Ya know..show it off a bit .

This is actually a 40 year old rifle.
Seems to be unfired. Made on a old mauser/obderndorf action.
Nothing really fancy, some gold inlays.



Have not had time to take any photos but will post from former owner

I have this fine black land farm I would trade you for it!! I could find you a wife to go with it!

A trigger shoe! Haven’t seen one since Selby’s 416.

It came with several different triggers and 2 claw mounted scopes.

Thanks for going thru the trouble...Worth it to; (us anyway) This is real class...looked good 40 yrs ago and will look way beyond forty years from now

True classic quality. Thanks for posting the photographs.

Truly Fine rifle, and an original Oberndorf action!
Is this a standard-length action, or a Magnum Mauser Oberndorf action?

Hartmann & Weiss are among the finest gun makers in the world. You have a fine rifle! Congratulations!

In terms of quality, for me, H&W is on pair with Holland&Holland. These guys are running their shop in Hamburg since the 60's and I am afraid they both are touching 80. I am not sure if the shop has internal followers, but I sincerely hope the company will continue and the quality remains unchanged.

I will be travelling through Hamburg in a few weeks, will try to take some photos for you guys inside the shop.

Very Nice!

Amazing and beautiful rifle.

interesting for the scopes do you know what kind and models they are?

1 claw mounted Zeiss Diavari-Z 2.5-10x52
1 claw mounted Zeiss Diavari-Z 1.5-6x42

Both marked west Germany. So it should be before the wall fell over.

What I have been told my 375 and 30.06 was ordered at the same time by MR.X in Sweden ( He is still alive so I don't want to say any names. He was a Big, BIG real estate developer in Sweden and lost it all when we had the big crash in the beginning of the 90`s. Our " Kronofogde" took it all including Ferraris etc ( A friend of mine owns one of hes Ferraris)

they even know how worthless a cheek piece actually is!! Now for the recoil pads that give a rifle a one inch running start at your shoulder..Sorry just having a fun day..Those boys know how to build a rifle..
