I know a lot of people hate these guns, but here goes: consider a Blaser R93. After owning and enjoying .375's in Sako, CZ/Brno and Weatherby persuasion, as well as owning and not enjoying one in a Rem700, I've found that this is the perfect gun for me. I've had the R93 for a few years, just got my hands on a .375 barrel for it (borrowed from a friend) and am already plotting and scheming how to make it mine. The rifle isn't a hard kicker, although it's certainly not heavy, and the quick takedown and repeatable scope mounts are just icing on the cake. It shoots as well as the Sako (which is very well) and much better than the others, and I haven't found a factory or handload that doesn't shoot well enough for hunting. It can be had with either a straight comb stock (mine is) or the Euro hogback style. It also comes in the synthetic (Professional?) version depending on your tastes and requirements. And I love that straight pull bolt.
