Well you would never guess. It's a rifle I know will shoot at the point of aim and in which I have complete confidence there will never be a jam. The action is smooth and swift and it is good for 200 yards. There is no doubt the safety works. Just don't pull the hammer back or depress the the lever.
It's a Winchester 375 Lever Rifle, a Big Bore HTR. No, it's not a dangerous African game rifle, but then that was not the question now, was it :) A 225g bullet at 2300 fps is nothing to take lightly, however.
That is a perfect candidate for this category - not only mechanical reliability but also in hunting every soft skinned species in dense savannah if proper design bullets are used..
I have had my eyes on the Marlin version. Not sure why I have not gone further than just looking.
Sure your .375 Win. is not an African dangerous game cartridge but mighty dangerous for North American deer, elk, moose and other tasty critters.
That rifle of Michael is absolutely ideal for bush hunting here.
In time I shall build myself that .375 on a .303 Brit case I am planning.
