I would like to find a 16 gauge, O frame, straight stock, BTFE, single trigger with 28 or 30” bbls. And a Bogdan fly reel.

I have 1H’s in 375 H&H as well as 416 REM Mag they’re not so bad even from the bench . But I shoot a lot of rifles from the bench .

Hmmmm of course it goes without saying I’d like to have EH/GH 10’s with factory original 24 and 26 inch barrels but I’m not holding my breath . I suppose the one I’m going to make a concerted effort for this year is a VH or GH 16 on a 0 or 1 frame with factory original 30” choked atleast full and full . And on a kinda side note a VH/VHE 20 gauge factory original 26” along the lines of IC/M .

Mills the pre 64 M 70's are the Parker of rifles. A solid choice when looking for a classic long gun. I have a 375 H&H and have a reduced load for it that turns it into a great deer rifle.

Rich, that is what I have heard. Several have escaped me recently and then I spent all the money on a ton of other cool stuff

If I was of the urge to do the African thing I believe a trio of Pre 64 70’s just might be the ticket ! A 264 Win Mag(26”) a 300 Win Mag and a 375 H&H Mag . And actually I could most likely eliminate the 300 . I had a circa 1960 Model 70 in 264 Win Mag I kinda wish I had back .

Craig I've had them all with the exception of the 300 Win. I have a Super Grade in 300 H&H that I'd take over the 300 Win mag any day of the week.

I’ve plunked a few deer with a pair of 375 H&H’s over the years . All using the no longer available Nosler 260 BT . But I never reduced the loads , nothing wrong with reducing but I just never tried it . Below are a pair of 8’s I got one morning with my Ruger #1H 375 H&H in about thirty seconds .

The 300 H&H is one of the few cartridges I’ve never messed with . Always wanted to be it Pre 64 Model 70 , Ruger #1 or what have you . Just never seemed to luck upon one at the appropriate time .

A buddy I used to work with back in the 1979’s, one day showed up at my house with mod 70 375 HH. Said he had just bought it and couldn’t wait to try it out. He pulled out a cartridge and handed it to me and I thought holy sh€¥!! We set a tin can up about 50 yards out in the field. Neither of us had hearing protection, safety glasses or other non-essentials. He brought the rifle up and nestled it against his T-shirt. He took careful aim and squeezed the trigger. The massive blast momentarily stunned us. He reeled backwards 3 or 4 steps. Handing me the rifle he said you try it. I told him to go to hell. He never shot the gun again and shortly thereafter traded it away.
