Customer Reviews for Winchester Model 70 Safari Express .375 Holland & Holland Magnum

This is a very nice rifle! It is easily up to the quality standard I was expecting. If you are even remotely realistic of what you can get for $1200, then buy with confidence! The trigger is great, which is something that doesn't seem possible in today's world, but it is. The metal work appears flawless and the action is smooth. The fit and finish is as good as any regular production rifle I have seen produced in my lifetime! The wood is a little plain, but straight grain is a good thing with the more powerful calibers, so how is it bad. Again, a very nice rifle.

Bolt is glass smooth. Trigger is crisp. Stock is wonderful. Recoil is a solid shove... not sharp at all. My particular rifle loves 300gr bullets, particularly the solids. Hits like the hammer of Thor. Love this rifle.

All issues I have had with my new Winchesters have been resolved. Most had one issue, but it is worth noting they had no more than one issue each. Though annoying, the rest of each of the rifle were quite precision and gorgeous. All are very accurate and the bores are so smooth they hardly foul. So buy one you won't be sorry.

These could be great rifles if they get their act together. As it stands it would appear that there is inadequate inspection of the subcontracted parts as witnessed by the wide variety of defects and issues I have experienced in my six Winchesters. The list includes creepy triggers, failure to feed, faiilure to close on a chambered round, swivel studs that don't fit, field strippable bolts that don't field strip, flat checkering on the wood etc. There is no consistancy between them. I don't know what the problem is with the service department. I sent two in, got two back with the same problems.
