The Winchester 70 Safari Express in .375 H&H Magnum is purpose-built for serious dangerous game hunting. This bolt-action rifle combines classic controlled-round-feed mechanics with modern accuracy refinements, making it a trusted choice for African plains game and other large, heavy-boned animals that demand a cartridge with real stopping power. The .375 H&H Mag fires hard and flat enough to take ethical shots at distance, yet the rifle's design and ergonomics keep that substantial recoil manageable and your follow-up shot fast.
Built on a forged steel receiver with dual integral recoil lugs, the Safari Express handles magnum pressures without flinch or shift. The pre-'64 style claw extractor gives you positive cartridge control from magazine to chamber to ejection—a proven system that's earned its reputation in the field. A one-piece bottom metal with steel floorplate adds rigidity where it counts, while two steel crossbolts reinforce the satin walnut stock for extra strength under heavy recoil. The cold hammer-forged, free-floating barrel is topped with a recessed target crown to protect the rifling and support repeatable accuracy.
Open sights come standard—a fully adjustable express-style rear sight paired with a hooded brass bead front sight—so you're ready to hunt immediately or add your preferred optic. The handsome Grade I walnut stock features cut checkering and a deluxe cheekpiece that positions your eye reliably whether you're shooting irons or glass. Matte metal surfaces kill glare in bright conditions. The M.O.A. trigger system offers clean, consistent breaks, and the three-position safety clearly shows when the rifle is ready, safe, or on fire. A Pachmayr Decelerator recoil pad softens the .375's kick, and the barrel-mounted front sling swivel lets you carry and deploy the rifle like a classic safari gun.
At 9 pounds with a 24-inch barrel, the Safari Express balances faster handling with the velocity needed for clean, ethical kills on tough game. This is a rifle built to shoot straight, shoot hard, and come home with a story.

Yes. The rifle comes with express-style open sights, but the receiver is designed to accept scope mounts. The deluxe cheekpiece on the walnut stock will help you achieve proper eye alignment with an optic.
The Winchester 70 Safari Express comes equipped with open sights (adjustable express rear and hooded brass bead front) and a barrel-mounted front sling swivel. The rifle does not include a scope, mount, ammunition, or other accessories.
The pre-'64 style controlled round feed claw extractor positively grips the cartridge rim during feeding, chambering, and ejection. This ensures reliable function in all conditions and gives the shooter control over cartridge direction as the round is ejected.
