Wanted to buy Winchester Model 70 .375 H&H Safari Express

[Scott4030]

I hoping to find a current production Win M70 Safari Express in .375 H&H. Anyone know of any for sale anywhere or when they might come back in stock at any gun dealers?

I’m new here, have made six trips to Africa over the years with my Remington custom shop M700 Mountain rifle in 300 Wby. Always borrowed a rifle there for anything that required a heavier caliber. Figured I would finally buy one for the next trip in ‘26. Hopefully the rifle will come back in stock somewhere before then or someone wants to sell one.

Thanks

Not currently.

Saw two NIB examples on Gunbroker a couple weeks ago with BIN prices of $1,799 & $1,699. One lasted a couple hours, the other less than an hour.

So, I guess that they're out there.

Edit: My memory is bad. Both of those were .416 Rem.

I have a new haven CRF Super Express in excellent shape that I'd be willing to part with. 2nd owner, not shot much at all. It doesn't come out of my safe.

I have a .338 that I really like and use it for everything. I think I want a .458 instead, also for no good reason.

Eta: signed up just to post this. Let me know if you want pictures, etc. Also has some leupold QD scope mounts.

It took me awhile to track one down. What I did was placed an order with a local shop and also set up a notification with Midway. When I got the email Midway had them in stock, I ordered immediately. They sold out within a day if I recall. I then canceled my order with my local shop and used the down payment for a different rifle they had in stock.

Not a fan of new things so I’m useless to you in that regard, but search the forums and you’ll see REAL pre-64 model 70s in 375HH for roughly the same price. Why settle for a replica?

Thank you for going to the trouble of signing up just to post this. I think I will pass. Thank you!

Good luck!

I like supporting local business but this is one area where bass pro /cabelas shine. If they have the gun in stock anywhere in the country, they'll ship it free to your most local store. Might be worth the drive depending on where you are and how bad you want that exact rifle.

Thanks! We have a Bass Pro about an hour from here. I’ll go check it out.

Heck -- I own a fantastic shooter rifle in .375 H&H pre-64 that's up for sale here and would happily discuss excellent terms with you (or anyone, for that matter).

Thanks. I’m looking for a current production rifle. Not a replica, but different is the way I look at it. I have a couple of nice pre-64 Winchesters but I don’t shoot them either because the barrels are shot out or they are too nice to shoot. I am hard on my hunting rifles and just don’t want to stress about traveling with a pre-64, or riding around in the back of a truck with one, or putting in my saddle scabbard. Lots of things just go sideways and rifles get scarred. Plus I like the new one enough to want to hunt with it, but not to leave it in the safe and conserve it.
