For the fast follow up shot I’m sticking with the lever gun. As in the past I have made comments on your channel that the 375 Winchester is the way to go for grizz. That’s my answer and I’m sticking to it.
I like buffalo bore ammo in 38/55 (255 gr.) for my .375 Winchester 94. I had a trigger job (2.5 lbs) and a red decelerator recoil pad added. It's a real sweetheart to shoot now. Fast handling, slick working, and hard hitting - all I need for my walk around rifle in Maine and B.C.
Hard to choose. Both are good. I've got an model 71 in 348 Ackley, a short 338RCM, various 45-70's, a BLR 450 Marlin takedown, and the Ruger 375 Alaskan Hawkeye. I can't decide but leverguns sure handle nice
I owned A . 375 Winchester. In a 336 Marlin for years quite frankly it’s really nothing more than a A somewhat souped up 35 Remington You’ll be much better off for 444 marlin
The accuracy, bullet selection and power of the 350 are unquestionable but it lacks the magazine capacity and quick follow up shots of the 375. How much time do you have to react to a charging grizzly? 375 gerts my vote.
Like all of your videos I’ve seen, super informative. For big critters under 100-125 yards, I’d take the quick shots of the lever gun in .375 Winchester.
250 gr bullet from your 350 rem has a far superior ability to penetrate than a 200 gr bullet from your 375 win. Your 350, in my opinion, is the way to go.
@@82delta I have lived for 44 years in rural Yukon, mostly on the land, living a mostly subsistence lifestyle and your comment is shallow and smells of very little actual experience of grizzly defence. It’s good to be passionate about your choice of firearm, but not to the degree that blinds you to other choices. I sincerely hope that you never are faced with the reality of a grizzly attack!
@@frankhase5227 Know a guy who lived in NYC 44 years...don't make him a wall street trader. Knew a guy lived in Chicago 44 years...don't make him a gangster.
I like the lever for fast action defence. Something about being much more of a natural movement flinging a lever rather than a bolt. Doesn’t matter the bolt might be more powerful when a charging g bear doesn’t even flinch after being hit with the first shot. If memory serves most the guides in AK carry lever actions to protect their clients….
Both neat rifles, I think I would lean towards the 350. It just seems more normal to carry a bolt gun with a round chambered than a lever gun. Do you carry a lever gun chambered with hammer down?, Or not chambered?, Not sure the most practical way.
Wouldnt the 375 Winchester be more comparable to say the 35 Remington, or 30-30? The 350 Rem mag is closer in class to a 35 Whelen or 3006 correct? Still fun to compare, but I suspect the 350 RM beats the 375 Win handily at just about any range....in just about everything except follow up shots, but thats just because of the platform.
Just a quick question, if you only go scouting and you do not actually hunt why not bring a short pump action 12 guage. 5 pound short fast handling and with Brenneke slugs would stop a grizzly faster in close quarters! It would also serve as a meat getter if you have a couple of spare shells for birds if you needed it !
375 Win. Lever gun has fast action. But 350 Remington Magnum in that model 600 will stop mr. Grizzly pretty fast. So my pick will be 94BB in 375 for follow up shot and magazine capacity. Be safe.
I really (really) like my 673 350RM but there’s something about a lever that is so handy, easy to carry and quick into action. With the right caliber and load, the lever is plenty against even the largest bears.
Not sure if there is such a thing as 200 grain Sera pro hunter as a 375 ruger round going between 3,000- 3,200 ft per sec. Or a 250 grain SBT going as close to 3,000 fps as possible. But I should think that would be sufficient brown bear medicine? Or your trusty 9.3x62 ever since watching your load development I've been considering a VERNEY CARRON pump or the $1,300 cheaper Mossberg in 375 ruger. But if a lever is preferred I'd say 350 marlin.
I have a .375 win I got at an auction, the Marlin big bore. it took a while but I found a guy who had 5 boxes of older factory ammo from when it first came out. I pay him 80.00 plus 10.00 to ship it to me. Hand loads is only way to go. I have not had a chance to mess with it much yet.
Either one would be OK, since the chance of needing it is low. Still, if you do face down an ticked off grizz, you'd be wishing for the 350. More power is better than less power. I must add that a Remington Model 7 in 350 was the hardest recoiling gun I've ever shot. In that 350, the 225 or better yet, 250 grain Partition is the way to go. I've got a Big Bore 94 in 356 and it's gonna get left at home in favor of a 45-70 for the next Alaska trip.
How big of Critters is a 375 Winchester capable of taking 700 lb Bears Nothing bigger I think it drop a rocky up pretty easily not so sure about a Roosevelt in a real-world experiences?
Yes... I used the 350 Rem Mag a lot on caribou. It worked very well out to 250-300 yards but past this bullet expansion can be sluggish and kills a bit slow. The 225 Nosler partition at 2650fps seemed to be the sweet spot. Worked really well up close and yet expanded well to 300. For moose i moved up to the 38 Norma for a bit more pop but the Rem Mag would have done well to 250 yards or so.
My vote goes to......the .350! But I'm biased as I own 2 of them. 🤠 For defense rather than hunting I'd go with the 280 gr Swift A-Frame. The handling characteristics of the leveraction would sure be nice, though. Maybe my BLR in .358 Win would combine the best of both worlds. 🤔
Pretty good choices. In actual fact (don't tell anyone) left to my own devices I might have slipped that 350 Rem Mag onto my back. I have some jealously guarded 300 Barnes originals that at 2300fps would probably go through two grizzlies. That's the fun of owning more than one capable rifle.
This is a crazy market. I just bought some from a man who sold his BB94 and got it for $30.00 CDN ($25.00 American). The boxes were from different eras and stamped from $50.00 to $90.00/ box. 85.00 is probably the going rate these days.
Could you show in detail the peep sight on the 350rm? Please…I’m having the darned hard time finding one for mine…I need to see how it fits the reciever specifically….if possible, would be apprecia. Thanks
@@north61 I want a cartridge that does essentially what the 375 H&H does even tho 358 isn’t legal in Africa for dangerous game, I prolly won’t ever hunt there but for North American big game from white tails to moose I want a rifle that can do it. I’m a fan of other cartridges and have others but I’m growing interested in the medium bores the .35 caliber.
The choice is simple for me. I’m a southpaw so the .375 would be my choice!!!!!
I like that extra 1000 foot pounds. 350 RemMag!
I use my 35 Whelen

250 Speer travelling at over 2500+ fps will not be shrugged off by anything.
That 375 Win is very nice but for bear your 350 Rem all the way. Lot's of power but nice and compact still.

How do you chamber 38-55 ammo in a .375 Win ? The 38-55 is a longer cartridge.
You know what I would bring, that was good shooting

I never carry a round in the chamber as I am too paranoid to trust a mechanical safety.
Well, in that case I would think the lever gun is faster to chamber that first round and get on target.

350 rem mag all the way. Hits harder and penetrates deeper.

It comes down to which carbine is handier/more comfortable to carry in the field.
A good price on the 375 factory loads? Saw $85 tag on it. That seems a bit pricey.

The advantage of the .35 Rem Mag is the shorter action.
True. And the 350 achieves the same power but does it out of a short action and an 18 1/2 inch barrel!!!
