Holland&Holland takedown in 375H&H
#57887 - 28/05/06 12:02 AM

I have been given an oppertunity to buy a 8.5LBS "take down" HOLLAND&HOLLAND in 375. This rifle was made in the 1950s and is in exelent condition.
What would such a rifle be worth?

ozhunter,

A couple of things need to be considered when buying H&H Takedowns
to determine value.

1. Which type of Takedown is it - unscrew barrel type or Lift action
and barrel out of stock - 2nd one is what most H&H's used.

2. Barrel Condition
3. Is it scoped
4. If scoped, does it have H&H QD Mounts
5. Is it cased
6. Is it "HYKRO" steel
7. Does it have a Steel or Aluminum floorplate ?
8. What action is it built on ? M98, M17 or other ?
9. Type of Front sight and does it have a flip up moon sight ?
10. Overall condition, engraving etc etc

PM me if you want.

I would expect an original, unaltered H&H takedown .375 as described in the first post in this thread to bring approximately US$1,000 per pound (retail). This comment is limited to the takedown version where the barrel comes off with the foreend, not the one where the stock just comes off quick.
