Im looking at getting a winchester m70 in 375 h&h does anyone know the difference between the alaskan and safari models. From what I can tell there the same gun except for an inch barrel difference and location of the swivel stud. Any feedback would be appreciated thanx.
I do have a CZ 550 in 308. It is a super accurate rifle the only thing I dont like about it is that the bolt gets hung up if not pushed at the right angle. Another possibility is a ruger no1 but I have heard they are pretty light for a 375

The tropical is a nice gun in 375 and the weight is not too light.

The Alaskan has a thinner, shorter barrel and is a Shot Show special, so I'm not sure if it is available as a regular item. The Safari has a shorter, heavier barrel and also has German Recknagel express open sights through New England Custom Gun. I have handled one and I would like it myself. Talk to Diane at P&D to put in an order, as I have not seen this model anywhere as regular stock.
Safari is a little heavier gun. It has a straighter stock which, to me, is a more comfortable rifle to shoot. Monte carlo stocks seem to jump with recoil rather than come straight back. Ellwood epps, in Ontario,had alaskan in 375 a while back and will ship across Canada.
