If you're talking about the screaming deal at CDNN.. Get them while they're hot! It's the same outfit that built them for Interarms, Whitworth, Charles Daly and now Big Green. Big Green dropped them off the roster and CDNN picked up the leftovers. I've got 3 of them (1 Interarm and 2 Whitworths)and they're a good Mauser 98 action with a hammer forged tube. These prices are better than I paid 4 years ago. I just talked a buddy into getting 06's for his kids as starter rifles.. Good rifles and a great value.

Mike,
Yep, I ordered my .375 H&H yesterday. Since I am not a big fan of laminates or synthetics, I opted for the one with the deluxe walnut stock. I am very excited. This gun will be put back until I have a chance to hunt some plains game in Africa or maybe bear or moose up in Alaska.

Where are you guys seeing these deals on CDNN? I'm looking on their website but I'm not seeing any firearms listed.

Fisrt Impressions...out of the box
Although I haven't shot the Rem 798 yet, this is my first impression of my $600.00 big game rifle.
Metal finish- Highly polished and nicely blued. Seems to be a little rougher on the reciever directly behind the follower. I believe that this is where some matal might have been removed to allow for the longer .375 bullet length.
Wood - Very nice straight grain walnut. Pretty but plain. I would like to remove the angled end of the forend and add an ebony tip.
Checkering - nicely done for a work gun.
Weight - probably adequate for a rifle of this caliber.
Wood to metal fit - It seems as if some work might be required. I can't run a sheet of paper between stock and barrel the complete length of the inletting.
Fit - Rifle seems to fit me well, but I am of average arm length.
Recoil pad - Standard Remington pad..a bit hard for my liking. Maybe a Pachmayr decelerator will replace it.
Sights - The open sights are adequate, but a three leaf express sight may be in this guns future.
This rifle may be a work in progress, but I must say it is a good foundation.
I am very happy so far, but I still have to touch off a few rounds.

...I never fired one of these guns, but I have fondled a couple & they seem like a decent gun for the price. I'm interested in the accuracy if any of you guys can let us know It would be appreciated!

For this price they are a great gun.
They are made by the same company that built Interarms and Chas. Daly. They have a good reputation. I had my Interarms Whitworth 375 out yesterday and it was doing quite well with factory fodder.

I'm thinking I should get one in the 375 H&H and have it rechambered for a 416 Rem Mag. I'd definitely be money ahead.

I bought one last week as a raffle gun at our upcoming SCI chapter dinner. I bought a .458 win mag in brown laminate. Unfortunately they told me they were all out of the deluxe wood. Seems like for the price, how can you go wrong.

Yeah, I didn't word that quite right. Knew I'd have to get a new barrel or punch out the existing.

Reboreing the origional tube is a good way to go. I've had several done and they work as well as the origional one.
IMO, I'd stick with the 375 without playing around.. It's a great classic round that will do anything you'll need.

I would do that, but already have a 375 H&H so wanting something different.

What a great way to kick off our 2025 hunting season in South Africa.
This beautiful Impala ram was taken at just over 300 yards, took a few steps and toppled over.
We are looking forward to the next week and a half of hunting with our first client of the year.

Do you have any more copies of African Dangerous Game Cartridges, Author: Pierre van der Walt ? I'm looking for one. Thanks for any information, John [redacted]
Out of all the different color variations of Impala the black Impala just stands out with its beautiful pitch black hide.
Impala is one of the animals you will see all over Africa.
You can see them in herds of a 100 plus together.
This excellent ram was taken with one of our previous client this past season.
