I think the nostalgia and cool factor comes more from the rifle, a lot more, and much less from the chambering. An Xbolt or Tikka in .300 H&H has not much more cool factor than either of them in 6.5 Koolaid. Agree.

No ballistic reason to want one. Just nostalgia and cool factor. And, that's reason enough for any half decent card carrying Loony. DF

Browning made a run of 300 H&H a few years ago I believe. 300 H&H, my favorite '30. Probably BS I was told that Browning made 9 for each state (sounds like bait to hook a fish) Browning B-78 anywho, I bit! LOL couple more........ Remington 700 Custom KS that started life as a 375 H&H, and was sent to Hill Country Rifle to be re-barreled as a 300 H&H. Rattle can paint job by me! Ruger #1, 300 H&H. ya! GWB

Alamo Precision will be glad to make you one.
My old 700 classic is over there now. Was factory barrel in a Bansner, will be Bart barrel and re-bedded into a Mc game warden. And re-bedded into the Bansner.......I may never switch the stocks but I CAN lol.
If it shoots near as well as the 300RUM they just built me it will be a hammer.

I understand new rifle or custom build, but man, it'd be tough to beat a pre-64 or old pre-salt Browning Safari with long extractor, i personally CGAFF about market value, mine are not for sale, good luck to you, H-4831 under either 200 or 220gr Partition will do it all for you to an easy 400+ yards in the game fields/mountains.
I have a Lyman receiver peep on one a pre-64 300 H&H, a little daylight over my 400 yard gong which is 18"x20" put the 220gr Partitions in a nice 6 inch rounded group well centered in the bottom one third of the gong, that's spine hold and dead animals all season long, with NO rear bag, just a front rest with rifle held in hand much like slumped over a pack, down tree or rock.
The whop reported back to me says the old Holland Super 30 is still packing serious freight at that range with the 220's leaving the rifle at 2750 fps.
Trump Won!

I have had a few 300 H&H rifles. Found a classic Remington 700 years ago - sold it when I had Redneck rebarrel a Model 70 7mm STW into a 300 H&H. That rifle is the most accurate I own and has accounted for several nice elk and deer over the years ...
Then I found my perfect 300 H&H -- an early Sako L61R. That rifle is amazing -- light handy and feels good in the hands. I have yet to bloody it, but that will come sometime soon.
Still trying to figure out if I should sell my Model 70.

Browning made a run of 300 H&H a few years ago I believe. Yup .... There was a fellow showing off a very nice Browning Safari in 300H&H last week on CGN. Many of those 300s got the WBY treatment. I'm talking about within the past 5-10 years. I am pretty sure I saw them advertised.
