Finally found a pre 64 Winchester 1955 model 70 .375 H&H I could afford and Lordy if there wasn't a 1959 .458 African super grade that went along with it. These old pards went a few times to Africa in 70 s and 80 s . .the now deceased owner quit using them in 90 s and passed a couple years ago. They were very dry from closet storage for 15 years in widows closet. She passed and I bought them from her daughter who was late 60 s . They didn't look the way they do now. I am too old to use an 8 3/4 pound ..458, and only got a couple years to enjoy the .375 but the beautiful Lyman iron sights would have to be replaced by a scope. I all ready have two .375 H&H s . The .375 weighs 9 pounds, a quarter pound more than the .458. the .458 swings like a dream and there is no doubt the African open sights are perfect for it's work. The .375 is a beauty too they make an ideal classic safari pair very noire nostalgics.
