The .375 Commemorative "1912-2012 Centenary"

Post by Nitro Express » Fri Aug 31, 2012 10:39 pm

The .375 H&H Magnum turned 100 this year.

To commemorate the same the folks at H&H have come out with 25 numbered rifles (4901 - 4925) in this classic calibre.

The link below would take you to the pdf version of their commemorative brochure.

So Gentlemen, any takers.There are three left.

Send a couple of snaps with your elephants. They will probably think you are a Maharajah and give you a discount. :wink:

Jokes apart. If by any chance one could afford such a piece of art. Would it actually be possible to import the weapon into India (in todays times)?

I just want the brochure and a quote as a souvenir. :D

Beautiful!
Justice alone is the mainstay of government and the source of prosperity to the governed, injustice is the most pernicious of things; it saps the foundations of the government and brings ruin upon the realm - Sher Shah Sur, Sultan-ul-Adil.

Tis a good year to buy a .375! :mrgreen: Time to give the double some fresh air!
"With solid bullets on heavy animals such as elephant, rhino and buffalo this power is quite apparent but is not so obvious as when soft-nose bullets are being used, say, lion, particularly when is a case of stopping a charge : the .404 will stop him all right, but will seldom crumple him quite so completely as will the .416" -- John Taylor, Big Game and Big Game Rifles, (Ch. IX)

That good old Mauser action: Isn't it funny: No modern swoopy, streamlined "designer action" would ever look as good as the traditional Mauser action, with all its bumps and lumps. In the traditional stock, it looks right at home, just like in some common military stock. It is like a beautiful woman: bejeweled with engraving or plain, dressed in exquisite wood or in everyday fare, the beauty of the Mauser shines though, without regard to the accoutrements or details.

Good move on getting a brochure, Nitro! Let us know if you are successful.

Spoke to NE in the evening. I will let him disclose the price.
I knew they would be expensive. But didn't expect them to be SO expensive. :( :(
