Wow, its strange how you guy's posts have hit two of my rifles principles. One is that it must be chambered in a very common caliber, no wildcats. Another is that there must be no extraneous rifle weight. No mercury tubes, etc. nothing that is not working on the rifle can add to the weight. So if the rifle should weigh 9lbs. without a scope for me to tolerate the recoil, all that weight must be built into the barrel, action, and stock to balance the weight.

I shoot the 375 nearly everyday and I have decided that I reallly like the power. I am not much of a long range sniper-type-guy but I like to be on top of every living thing on my side of 300yds. I would like to be able to do that in a 375.

Any thoughts appreciated,
