.375 Winchester 94 Big Bore

So, can a 336 shoot the .375 with just a rebore/rebarrel?

[Skipper]

Yes. Wayne York rebored my 336 and it works just fine.

JES rifle reboring at www.35Caliber.com 541-942-1342 can help you out also.

Greetings
If your 336 was a 30-30 or any other caliber with the same rim diameter ... Yep ! Rusty bore 336's used to abound but getting fewer as people have figured out they could be rebored for under $250 by JES.

Sweet. Will have to remember that if lightning strikes and I find a tired Marlin for a reasonable price, or a cursed Remlin that someone wants to be rid of. The .375 looks like a perfect lever action cartridge if there was such a thing. I bet a 250 grain boolit cruising along at 1800 fps would be lotsa fun!

I use the Lee 250 a lot...at 100 yards when it hits a deer, it sounds like a baseball bat hittin' a wet pillow.

I wouldn't shoot full house 375 out of a regular 94.

It will rattle your teeth...

Where you are going to run into issues is finding brass for the .375 winchester as no one I know of is making it right now. It has been found that many can use the short 38-55 brass in them but then you are loading to 38-55 pressures and that isn't bad just have to remember that fact when reloading.

Jamison, Captec International, makes the brass and Winchester just did a run of 200gr ammo that was $45ish a box at Midway just a couple of weeks ago. Stuff is out there if you look hard enough.

I have seen 2 or 3 the last 18 months or so that are in shooter condition, 70-80% bluing, scratched stocks and looking worn but with a shootable bbl. Price has been from $400-$550.

[FergusonTO35]

I wouldn't shoot full house .375 out of anything. That's what .45-70 is for! Marlin 375's come up for sale around here every so often in good shape for reasonable prices, you actually see them more than the Winchester version. I'm going to start a special savings envelope so I can be prepared to strike.

[ulav8r]

but I'll have to find a smith who knows what he's doing with modifying the rotor to get it to feed.

Not likely to happen unless you do it soon. Anyone with experience with this has already died, retired, or will very soon.

[FergusonTO35]

Apparently the .375 Big Bore was a popular item at some point. GB has a whole bunch of them right now, looks like $600.00 will get you a really nice one.

[skeettx]

Yes
Too high
BUT I like my BB, but it does KICK!!!

Ya gotta pay to play. I would imagine the BB was not a cheap gun to begin with. Nobody buys a rifle that fires a special seasonal run $2.50 a shot cartridge in the interest of saving money anyhow.

I gave 600$ for mine in excellent condition, year and a half ago. Has become my favorite deer rifle. 10Gr of 20-28 and the Lee boolit cuts cloverleafs like a big 22 and RL7 will drive a 379449 plenty fine! The BB94 is light, so expect the 375 level loads let you know it when fired. Then, there is very little in TN that a 38-55 level load won't easily handle. Used as a +P capable 38-55, firing cast it's the cat's meow
Don't think I would put 1000$ into one when JES can do some magic with a std 94 for much less$$$$. I have felt the 38-55 was the perfect cast load for whitetails for many years, just took my time finding something to prove it

What is your load?

[Randy Bohannon]

I consider the B.B. one of the best finished Olin Winchester lever guns they made. Mine is better finished than any Marlin I have ever seen for fit and finish. 20 gr of IMR 4759 and 250 gr. g/c Accurate mold or 300 gr. PB from Accurate is better than 1 m.o.a on a good day with a Williams receiver sight.I bought mine unfired except factory for $700.00 locally

[lar45]

I paid around $360 for my BB XTR about 12 years ago, but it was rode hard and put away wet. The inside of the barrel looks great and it shoots really good. The action has lots of rust pitting on the outside and has a chip out of the stock right at the tang. So I can take it hunting in the thick timber and not worry too much about getting an extra ding on it.

Got one in Marlin. I love it.
