Would I need anthing more then a new barrel for a 458 Lott to a 375 H&H...Or shuld I step up to a 375 Weatherby...and will it fit in the Ruger??

Mike

it's simply a new barrel and chamber job either way you go. Probably run about $600 if your using a premium quality barrel for the new one

Step up to the .375 Weatherby. It will fit the Ruger Magnum action not the standard Ruger action.

I would think your 470 would take care of anything the Lott would do, but it's still a cool caliber nonetheless.

Of course having a 375 H&H or WBY would come in very handy on this side of the pond....

Mike,

If I'm not mistaken, didn't you already have a Lott. If so what happened to it?

Steve:

It is currently listed for sale on AR Classifieds.

Mike, I have both. In all honesty, I think the H&H round is sufficient for anything a 375 should do and would be my choice. Unless you just want a toy!!! Lee.

It'll be a bit heavy.

If your bolt gun fed the 458 Lotts well, then I'm guessing the feeding rails may now be a bit too wide in places for the 375 H&H. Try feeding the 375's in it and see before sending off for the replacement barrel.

It might work, but I'd be worried.
