Winchester 375H&H pre 64 - customising??
27/08/10 12:05 PM

I have a early 1950's Winchester Model 70 in 375H&H. The blueing needs to be redone so i am thinking of shortening the barrel 2.5 - 3 inches and getting a barrel band/ sling swivel placed on it at the same time - and obviously reattaching a front sight. I want to cut the barrel down just to make it a handier rifle while walking through the thick stuff (the reduced velocity would be bugger all).

Looking at a lot of internet sites about the "pre64" Winchesters - they seem to have a rather "cult" following amoung a lot of Americian shooters.

By shortening the barrel and adding my personal likes to this rifle, would people get upset and consider that i am destroying a "classic" rifle (not that it would bother me). Just interested in people thoughts on this.

All the work will be done by a professional.

cheers
