375 H&H in 1908 98 Mauser
« on: April 30, 2012, 09:40:23 AM »
I recently read that the 375 H&H is longest that will fit in 1 standard length 98 reciver. true?
 
Am I looking at a lot of work to mag area or is it a barrel and bolt face open up job for a gunsmith?
 
I have a ton of 375 bullets for 38-55 and 375 win I can load to plink with and probably will never use it for anything serious but still, to own a shootable Mauser in 375 H&H that lloked like something Tarzan would snatch from Bwana's hands for shooting at gorillas, would be TOO KOOL!

Shinjin ol buddy - I would not hesitate one minute to run this past the gunnut69, the moderator of the Gunsmithing Forum.  Good luck and let us know what he sez.......
