Browning X-Bolt .375 H&H Magnum

The Browning X-Bolt rifle is now available in the .375 H&H Magnum big game cartridge.  Browning in chambering the X-Bolt Hunter and X-Bolt Medallion in the powerful cartridge, offering shooters a choice in the quality of finishing details.

The Hunter has a “low-luster” blued finish.  The checkered walnut stock has a satin finish.  The Medallion series X-Bolt rifle has an engraved receiver with a blued finish and a free floated barrel.  The checkered walnut stock has a glossy finish and a rosewood fore-end cap.

Both rifles feature an adjustable trigger and are drilled and tapped for the X-Lock scope mounting system.  The rifles do come with open sights standard.

Also standard is the X-Bolt rotary magazine, a polymer detachable mag that aligns each cartridge in the middle of the magazine for reliable feeding.

MSRP on the Hunter model is $939.99 while the Medallion is priced at $1,069.99.

The 375 H&H Magnum is a belted, rimless cartridge developed by Holland & Holland about 100 years ago.  The cartridge is considered to be excellent for hunting big game in Africa, with some handloads developing more than 4600 ft-lbs of energy.  Bullet weights generally run from 270-300 grains, with some lighter loads available.

While most reference texts suggest that the 375 H&H Magnum is not a good choice for North American hunting (bears being an oft-stated exception,) the Hornady Handbook of Cartridge Reloading (7th Edition) lists loads for a 220 grain flat point that it states is a “…good choice for deer hunting.”  It should be noted the book lists reduced loads for this bullet, with velocities ranging from 2000-2300 fps.
