Anything on your 2020 Parker/shotgun shopping list?

[Mills]

Thinking about making 2020 the year for rifles. I want some pre 64 model 70s. I want a 375 h&h. My son Harry and I have gotten the urge for big game hunting

Friend of mine bought a 375 H&H in a Ruger NO 1 shot it once took it back said it liked to stop his heart , He was a small man !!!

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.

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 .

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.

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 .
