The 375 Wins I've own/owned are Marlins. One I never shot, it was new in the box. I sold it when the JM stamp increased the Marlins value. I took another Marlin in trade on something and turned it around in another trade for a Guide Gun, should have kept it as it was a good rifle (the GG not so). I just have too much hunting history with my original rifle to use another in the field and I should not be allowed near a NIB rifle.
One year, I took mine out to Brewster County as the mule deer would not come out of the whitebrush. All the long distance hunters laughed at the cartridge, but I shot this dude at about 30 yards.
There had been some late rains and a clover species was growing in the whitebrush flats, deer (both mule and WT) and javelina were thick in the brush. I saw him wade into a flat following some does and went in. I didn't expect him to wander up on me as close as he did and thank goodness for the 1.5X variable. The 375 Win dropped him like a sack of rocks. Another hunter borrowed the rifle and killed a big muley as well, at about 15 yards in the thick brush. Crazy!
I'm willing to bet that those are the only two mule deer killed in Brewster County with a 375 Win. Never seen another while hunting anywhere in our State.
About two years ago, I was watching a series about people that live in remote areas of Alaska. A fellow had been given a key to a hidden lock box in a remote cabin that had been abandoned. The owner was not returning. The fellow that hiked back in was disappointed that there was only a small amount of ammuntion in the box for his 30-06. There was a pretty good amount of 375 Win. I doubt he realized how valuable that find was.
