See one or two on gunbrokers in years past and both came from Winchesters custom shop. The owners were very proud of them! If memory serves me correctly no one bid enough to meet the reserve.
Pretty easy to make. Just buy another .375 and you are a simple rebarrel away.

Or buy a MRC barreled action and have it stocked.

My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

What I was thinking of doing.. a quick rebarrel job and I'm in business!

If you like the sights on the factory rifles you could also send a 375 to be rebored to 416. Might save you a few bucks in the long run. I believe Dan Pedersen will do all the work for about $300 including the rechambering work.
