I truly like the 375 H&H. In fact have an old Winchester in that great caliber. Not fun to shoot however. I also have a 300 H&H M-70. Not mine but an old fellow here gave it to me to use. It was restocked(by him) and sadly not too well..as it is not as accurate as I have found most of them to be. in fact it is terrible. I put it in another Win stock and it shoots much better..but as I said..not mine. The 300 H&H is not an easy caliber to load for either.. in my opinion. But I have a 300 Win mag(Kimber) and thankfully it is not finicky. Shoots very well. I almost bought a 1885 in 45-70. But I kept asking myself..why do you want that dum-dum. So I passed. The single shot I had many chances to buy and always kicked myself for not getting was a Colt/Sharps single shot. Ah..beautiful rifles No gorgeous..and I still look for one today. But sadly the prices are really much too high for me now. Collectors pieces now. And i had quite a few in hand back 20 or more years ago. I may still buy that 1885..the gun shop that had it closed it's doors and is selling everything at auction soon. Hopefuly it will not go too high.
