I have a Browning Safari made in the early 50s chambered in .375 H&H. What an awesome rifle! I inherited it from one of my uncles who hunted in Alaska.
Building those rifles had to be fun though. The first rifle I ever bought, a 700 .06, is still my go to rifle. I have shot MOA groups with it. But all the others, like a restocked Enfield 17 reamed to .300 H&H are fun, had it fixed to cock on open and a Timney trigger. I can get 1 1/2” with 200 gr partition handloads. Not bad for an old .06 barrel. {:0)
Super versatile caliber. Will have one soon, maybe a Mauser.
My favorite old hunting rifles:
Weatherby Mark V 257 WM early model
Remington 742 my first real rifle 30/06
Winchester 94 30/30
Browning BAR 30/06
Savage 99 308
Nice spread. I really like the BAR.
1903 Springfield.
