Are we back? OK.

Here's my 602 in 375 H&H:

In the past few days I picked up a Remington Model 30 from Gunbroker and sent it off to a smith for rebuilding. It's a 30-06 and I will have it rechambered to 300 H&H.
 
Interarms Mark X in 375 H&H with 3X Leopold. Just a plain jane working gun.
 
Kimber 8400 Talkeetna in .375 H&H Mag, Zeiss Conquest 3-9x40mm with RZ600 reticle and Talley stainless QD rings ... I couldn't be happier with this rifle/scope/rings combination.

New Custom 300 H&H

A 700 Rem. BDL action, trued; Timney trigger set to 2 lbs; Rock Creek 5R stainless barrel, 26", #6 contour, chambered to .300 H & H; McMillan fiberglass stock HTG general purpose hunting model, green molded in color textured grip and fore-end. (Randy's Custom Custom Rifles, Wapiti, WY).

I've settled on Hornday brass, 68 gr H4831 @2800 fps MV. 190 gr. Sierra Matchking. Shoots .5 MOA at the proving grounds thus far. That is a standard Sightron Fixed 16x 30mm.

Ruger No.1 looks like a very robust design. Either one of you using optics on yours ? Still wondering if my 5-20X50 Tasco is overkill for my Savage 110.
Yes on the Ruger No. 1 optics: SII Sightron Bigsky 4-16x42mm Dot Reticle.

I have not started using reloads on it yet. Cheap Bitterroot hunting ammo so far. I need better ammo before I say it is accurate or not. But it is a hoot to shoot.

300 H&H requires hand loading. I've got my Ruger No. 1 shooting 1 moa with hand loads. Factory hunting ammo? forget about it.
 
That safety was on the rifle when I bought it. Ed LaPour makes them.
I remember seeing them in rifle magazine years ago, did not know if they where still around. I see you are not using the set trigger. Choice or you don't have it?

That is what I started out planning. I have a 30 in heavy barrel 22-250. Hadn't found one at a decent price. Looks like the action would be great for it tho. Keep us updated when you get it back
 
OK, it is totally cool that some guys are still getting rifles made for the .300 H&H. Mine's a Remington 721 with a custom stock. (Frantically searches for picture...) I'm currently thinning out the herd I have, to finance a trip to Africa to use her where she was intended...
 
Sorry, no pics but I have a Rem 700 XCR II in .375 H&H. It produces 3-shot <0.5" groups at 100 yards with my hand loads. I have it in a bedded B&C Medalist stock in Weatherby configuration and Zeiss Conquest 3-9x40 scope in Leupy QR (quick release) bases and rings.

Lots of beautiful rifles in this thread.

Out of curiosity, why do some manufacturers put sling swivels on a barrel band? Doesn't that prevent using the sling to stabilize an offhand shot, because it would put pressure on the barrel and hinder accuracy?
 
Bobson, in a rifle that has a bit of recoil, the last thing you want is a sling swivel smashing into your hand, especially when shooting off sticks. I really don't include a 375 in this category, but the 416's and 458's and up, for sure.

With the big rifles it's generally an up close and personal affair, and pinpoint accuracy isn't necessary. You're usually shooting standing from sticks, or kneeling, and neither do you have support from your support elbow (you switch knees when you use sticks from the kneeling, so your strong hand arm rests on your knee)
 
A 700 Rem. BDL action, trued; Timney trigger set to 2 lbs; Rock Creek 5R stainless barrel, 26", #6 contour, chambered to .300 H & H; McMillan fiberglass stock HTG general purpose hunting model, green molded in color textured grip and fore-end. (Randy's Custom Custom Rifles, Wapiti, WY).

Oops! Must have lost my image hosting service. Target is just 100 yards.

Okay, I'll play on the H&H topic, since these cartridges are, ah ... "topical" again. ;)

Early Ruger #1 in 300H&H (not the later Boddington run).

0213v2-1.jpg

Lon Paul-customized BRNO ZZK 602 in .375 H&H.

AHR 550 DGR in .404 Jeffery ...

yeah, I know, techically it's not an "H&H," but hey, ... don't they all play together at some point? :D
