The price is current with the market, considering you have $120 or more in ammo. But you must be a re-loader to enjoy shooting the 375. And bullets are not common and each round will still cost about a $1 or more for components, unless you cast your own. But it's worth all the effort to shoot the 375...

 

Just checking GB, only 2, one has a starting bid of $1100, the other has 3 bids and is at $1300.
So my guess is it about a fair price, especially with the ammo.
And I've seen some brass just a month back, and bet there is still some there.

Agree with my brothers above that the deal is fair. And don’t worry about finding brass or ammo, the gun is the hardest part. And we want pictures and a range report.

 

Dont buy it unless you really like a round that puts a total smack down on game!

 

Sounds fair and you won't regret it, if you handload. I have two 375s and a 38-55 that was rebored by JES with a 375 reamer and will shoot 38-55 or 375. They are easy to handload and as phw said they put a smack down on critters. If you can get brass buy up a bunch. You can get bullets, I have a lot but when my supple dwindles I will try some from Hawk Bullets.

 

Steep cost but as stated relatively current with the times. You could always rebore to .375. But, if it is an original Marlin in the caliber they are fairly rare specimens. If you reload, and it is worth the cost to you, go for it. If you don’t reload, get ready to spend the cost of the gun over its lifetime just in here and there shooting.

 

Price is about right for the times. I paid the same for my 1980 production 375. If you want to shoot it much though, it is a reloading affair. Starline makes brass and it's relatively cheap. I have the Marlin and a Winchester Big Bore. I reload and cast my own bullets. I do have some of the now discontinued 220gr Hornady flat point bullets but I don't load much jacketed ammo because I don't hunt anymore. Good luck if you decide to buy it. Personally I'd offer him 1k and see if he takes it. You never know, you might get lucky!

 

I'd love to get details of your cast bullet loads, mold? cast weight?Thanks!

 

I’m gonna make everyone feel bad and say I got mine for $800, but I knew I got a great deal

 

Recently??

I think I paid $1350 for mine last June, but it came with 50 rounds of 375 ammo and 70 rounds of 38-55 ammo.

 

I've passed up 3 of them back when they were 600 dollars about 8 years ago. inflation has taken a toll.

 

Enablers...all of you...enablers.

 

I look at it this way.... I've paid up a bit for some things I really liked/wanted the last year or two. In the grand scheme of things, when $100 might fill your gas tank, get what you're wanting. It's not likely to get less expensive in this economy.

 

🍻🍻Thank you fellows and the enablers for all the information about the 375. As of saturday i will be the new owner of a 375. paid seller what he was asking now for the cheery on top he also included a new lee die set 60pices of brass 2 box,s of factory ammo 100 200 gr box of bullets and 1lb of reloader 7 what a sweet deal after all thanks again guys

 

Starline Brass has 375 winchester on backorder if you're wanting to get some more brass. You can get 250 pieces for about 170 plus shipping and tax if applicable.

 

Congratulations and great deal ! Don’t forget our pictures.

 

That would certainly be a fair price in todays market. I’ve seen the Ammo going for 75 a box.
The value on that rifle will only go up. If I wanted one I’d go for it.

 

Just got rid of my .375 that i paid $575 for a few years back, due to "thinning the herd." Got substantially north of $1000 for it alone. So, for what you got, i think you got a bargain............and i did hard cast bullets for mine with antimony added, they worked fine. And i never heard the first deer complain about being shot with a cast bullet.

 

Good deal, especially in the condition you're describing.

This rifle will only appreciate in the years to come... 💸

 

dch -- At first I thought $1200 was a bit steep, but now that you got all the extra goodies -- bullets, powder, brass, etc -- I'm thinking that you did well. Like the enablers said -- they don't make these any more, they have big Smackdown, and if that is what you really want, then get Froggy and Leap. Life is short, and if you can afford it, then don't obscess over a few dollars.

 

I only regret 1 Marlin I ever bought, it was a 3030 Texan that I traded a 336CS for. The CS was a straight shooter, the Texan couldn’t hit the sky at point blank range. Other than that 1 exception, I’ve never regretted a Marlin I bought but I’ve regretted ones I’ve sold. I still miss my Ruger SBL, I’ll get another but it won’t be THAT one.

 

The price is fair, no problem. No need to be concerned about brass and bullets. Those may be a little harder to find but they will be available somewhere.

 

Never really wanted one, keeping my Marlin collection to more classic calibers. I think the oldest I have is a 336sc in .35 Remingtion that my father bought back about 1952. Other calibers are 45-70, 38-55, and a 32-20. I almost forgot, a 1894 in .44 Mag, but then it will shoot .44 Special.

 

Check out this GB auction 1028735492

 

Amazing! Woke up the other day and found a Marlin 1894 JM(as new), same vintage as yours for equivalent of $1,151 U.S. all in to my door! So I bought it. I now have this Model in 218Bee,357Mag, and now 375Win. Also a waffle top in 35Remington. Strange thing is I am not even sure I like Marlins yet. But I do like unicorns. My Browning 65 with tang sight groups better at 100yds than my scoped Marlin. Likewise my buck horn sight Browning 92 beats my scoped Marlin in 357mag, go figure. Guess I'll find out if my new to me Marlin in 375Win will out shoot my Winchester BB94 . I came to this forum to get info on my 218 Bee and all you folks have done is cost me money!

Anybody have any experience shooting cast in this rifle (375 Win)?

 

Looks like You did well. One sold at auction about 2 weeks ago for $1,080 with 100% Blue and Wood in Unfired condition. Mfg date of 1980. It came from a collection. Keep in mind there is a buyers premium and tax involved along with shipping etc....but a nice Gun.

Your price is the ball park of what they are selling for if condition is as you stated The ammo and extras with the deal is a good addition with the price.

 

I own a Marlin 375S and just love it. I Have used it to hunt deer and bear with outstanding success.

Over the years I have loaded and shot hundreds of cast bullets out of my 375 Win. Due to the microgroove rifling, I found my 375 liked over sized cast wheel weight bullets, I have an Accurate Ranch Dog mold I believe which drops 250 grains. I put a gas check on them and they are sized at .381 dia.

I carefully worked up my loads to that size and got amazing accuracy. I never killed anything with that cast bullet in the 375 but I did kill a bear in my old 38-55 Mod 94 SRC with that bullet and it dropped the bear in its tracks.

Good luck and have fun.
