Well, the deed is done. I had purchased a nice 1894/.44 about 18 months back. I enjoyed the rifle and it functioned and shot as well as I'd hoped. I was a bit disappointed on it's performance on a really large wild boar though, loaded with 270grSP ammo. I found a Marlin .375 in mint condition and have decided it might be more the short powerful lever I'd been looking for in the .44. The .44 will now live it's life as a special X-mas gift for a new 13 yr old deer hunter. Tomorrow will be their first hunt together.
The 2.5X scope has been mounted and boresighted on the .375 and a good number of both 200 and 220gr ammo assembled for sight-in. I've read about all I could find on the .375 Win, but would enjoy hearing any additional first hand info, good or bad. It will be my new woods deer and hog rifle and I'm hoping to break it in on a Georgia hog hunt next month.
Thanks.
