Will Winchester ever...?

Will winchester ever build/chamber their new rifles in .375H&H?

Seems the biggest thing they currently load is .300 win magor .325wsm...?

I think one of the main reasons to own a mod 70 action is for dangerous game...

along with the .375H&H, if they ever start building them, I hope they also load .416 Ruger, and .458 Lott not WinMag...

That's a great observation / question. If they would offer (now) a .375 H&H I'd buy it.

I don't know but I think the new M70 is amazing for the money. I got one on order and it won't even go into production until late June!

A good possibility as it's long been an old favorite for big nasty critters.

I'd think if the interest in the new production M70 is there, they'll start expanding the chambering chocies. I do doubt the .416 Ruger will be one that's picked up.
