I sold the M700ss barrelled action.

I have a new Winchester M70 Stainless Classic with walnut stock in .375h&h. Hopefully, I will have it setup and ready for some practice come the GA firearms deer season in October.

I will post pictures of the 'budget rifle' as soon as they
are available.

Thanks for all the advice.

Regards,

franklins in athens has a used 700 ks stainless in 375 H&h for $999..

I'd sell the Remington or trade it in on a Ruger No.1, a CZ, or a Winchester...

The following combination of:

1) Rem 700
2) 375 H&H
3) Visiting gun forums

is a recipe for heartburn.

I would go along with everyone else on the CZ/M70 option.

However, another option you might consider is to rebarrel the Rem 700 to 375 Remington Ultra. If you are a reloder the 375 Ultra will give you a lot more potential to play around. Not having all the traditional bullshit associated with the 375 H&H you will be forgiven for having the 375 Ultra in a Rem 700 based rifle. The 375 Ultra also goes together much better with the stainless/wood than the H&H.

There is, of course, the Ruger No.1H stainless/lamniated stocjk version .375 H&H. Of course, it is not as pretty as the 1H .375 I have with a walnut stock and blued steel. The only "gunsmithing" I had to do to mine was to mount a Leupold 2.5X-8X VariX III on it. I may just be lucky, but I have never had to do anything to any of my six No. 1's to get them to shoot well, other than slap a scope on them. Same for a No. 3 in .30/40 Krag also.
