The two are my favorites, with the 375 being preferred, especially for deer hunting in SEAK. I had a Winchester Model 70 stainless/synthetic in .375 H&H. I killed three whitetails with it but weighing around 10 pounds, it was just too heavy for carrying around in the Maine woods. The recoil off the bench would set me back but it was manageable. I sold it and I wish I hadn't.

sneaky trapper S Joined: Oct 2019 Posts: 1,363 Custer Co, Idaho	Originally Posted by mad_mike I just sold my 300WM Browning A Bolt. Love the cartridge, hated that rifle for over 20 years. Killed a pile of animals with it. Picked up a M70 Winchester Extreme Hunter in the 300WM last fall. Completely different rifle. It is actually pleasant to shoot at the range. Not the harsh B-slap that that Browning would hand out and I figure that I will most likely die owning the one I just bought. First deer hunt with it was a proving ground and that rig will run circles around that POS Browning all day long. If you had put a different stock on that Browning it would have made it a completely different acting rifle. But, it was also a good excuse to buy another rifle. Sometimes nothing can be a real cool hand
