It's happened to a lot of us. It was a sign of the times, the Model 70 popularity and wildcatting /improved ballistic attempts if for ever so slight a gain.
One of the true assets of the 375H&H in the original shape/form of the case being that it lends itself to great feed. Same with the 300 H&H.
Good News, unmolested Pre -64, 375 H&H Mdl. 70 are out there, and they aren't as high as they once were.
While I suspect you are wanting a Pre -64 don't totally discount a New Haven produced Model 70 CRF in 375, they aren't bad guns. in fact I think they are better stocked for scope, and they have a gas check on the bolt that sits in the left side slot/rail. Just something to consider.
There is a problem with having a 375 H&H and a 30/06 both set up to suit. The problem being you start running out of excuses of need to buy more. Want never is very far off or long in coming.
