No sir.

No way at all

Although a rifle that looks like that and especially if it is a Made in Japan Wby action would be a bit of shit stir being chambered in 375 H&H.

Mike

Mike,

What turned you off?

The thumbhole stock?

The non-Weatherby caliber?

The trigger guard safety?

The made in Japan stigma?

All of the above?

MR

I hate thumbhole stocks.

I think flash Wbys should be Wbys

I think 375 H&H and Wby together are revolting and doubly so with that pile of junk. Although I did very briefly own a stainless Mark V in 375 when the first Made in US Wbys came to Australia. It caused me to break out in hives.

I did not get as far as the trigger guard

Mike

Mike,
I have a 375 Weatherby reamer that you are welcome to use.

We can cut the top part off of the thumbhole area.

I have some gold and platinum wire that my sister gave me; that would be great for inlays - map of Australia maybe?

Flash is flash, eh?

Go for it.

I bet if chambered in 378 or 460 and no muzzle brake that rifle at the very least would have "character building" recoil

Mike

Thats gross - 500 gns where the heck did you drag that up from?

500 please post a picture of a gun I can't afford again thats putrid

There are some interesting M70s available for viewing I am not sure if Winchester would want to claim ownership.

With Mauser you have the choice of the old actions or the 3 or 4 new ones made each year. Well, it would be a lot more than 3 or 4. I suppose Granite would make 300 actions a year. But then one wonders because Empire claim to be the biggest consumer of Granites.

How many actions would H&W make. Not long ago it was posted that D'Arcy Echols would cut the bolt handle off and Burgess would throw away the bottom metal from an H&W for a 505 Gibbs.

Is the H&W this bad or are Echols and Burgess full of bullshit.

Mike

Mike, I agree with you!

If you buy a Weatherby it needs to be chambered in a Weatherby caliber!

Rusty,

It just goes to show the law of numbers work.

For all the years we have crossed swords we have hit agreement

Mike

Rusty,

If George comes on and agrees with me the forum is in deep shit

Might have to return to HA and stir up Swampy

Mike

I don't think any of our blood pressures could stand that again! LOL!

mrlexma, there are only two good things about that rifle, #1 it is a 375 H&H, and #2 it was made in Japan rather than by Weatherby!


The only thing Wetherby stamps their name on that is worth beans is the O/U Jap made shotgun. and the rifle 500 posted was a waste of good stock wood, and a .375 barrel!
