the search is on, high and low, for a good .375H&H bolt gun. The consensus seems to be a controlled feed action (e.g., pre-'64 model 70), with preferably a good sear safety. I'm thinking between 20-23inches for a barrel. Stainless action and barrel. Though I'm a sucker for wood stocks, if I'm going to use this rifle from everything and in every elevation from elk to the Africa plains, synthetic or laminate seems the way to go.
