Idaho SharpshooterFN actioned 375 H&H IMP...
My gunsmith has this about 90% finished. I also have a set of original between the wars Mauser DST's. Would you think the appropriate for that or a second barrel in 300 H&H?
thanks guys,
Rich

No DST for me. But that's just me.

jeffeossowhy'd you waste your money on a wildcat, when the 375 ruger would have left you a larger safety margin, and factory dies, ammo, and resale?

Idaho SharpshooterSame reason Ruger dropped the RSM's. And, it came to me that way.

PS: you think a 1951 FN commercial mauser actioned 375 H&H Imp with dies won't sell in about ten minutes?

As one of the local used-car dealers says, "There's an ass made for every car seat!" (grin)

not if priced at market - no .. i do think one in 375 HH or 375 Ruger would sell faster, at the same price point.

Definitely not if someone thinks they have to transfer it through a certain shop not to be named in Wyoming

jeffeossoSay -- does that 1951 commerical mauser have a SN on the top of the front ring, where the crest usually goes? is it SN'ed on the left side? or does it have a factory SN at all?

its been a month since i asked.. does it have a serial number on TOP of the front ring, as sgr ryan desribed?
22 June 2011, 08:22
jeffeossohey buddy... did you have time to eyeball that action and take a look for serial numbers? Just wondering if you had one of them "common" mauser actions, with the SN over the front ring, rather than a crest. ..
don't really need pics, just your word that there's a SN right where sgt ryan says is his total experience with mausers...

Cane RatRich,
.375 AI, I presume?
If so, just about like my .375 Wby. You'll love it. 300 grains at 2,800 fps. Yee haa!
27 June 2011, 00:16
Idaho SharpshooterActually, I am thinking more along the lines of the NORMA 350gr bullet around 2500 or so.

Penetration will be incredible. Be a helluva a buff load.

jeffeossorich.. don't need a pic.. just let us know if there's a SN "on the top front thingie" or whatever words of inaccurate description sgt ryan desribed ALL of his mauser experience with
