20-rounds down, and no complaints!
#8305 - 06/02/04 01:39 PM

last saturday my dad and I took the 375 No.1 to the range and hammered off the remainder of box #1. it shoots a little right and WAY high... problem is that the rear sight is already all the way down!!!!

now, we were only at 50yds (small targets, bad light, some wind, open sights.... you get the idea), but things were very well grouped. I suspect that with some decent optics and a good rest (we were at "grandma's" and the Neligh Gun Club is minimalist at best!), we would be looking at 2" even with a 270gr RN. I'm ok with that for the time being. next box will be 300gr noslers, but I need to clean it first!

on dad's first shot, he stood up square like he was shooting trap and it rocked him WELL back on his heels... it was hilarious!!! I wish I'd taken video! his grin was HUGE!

anyway, the addiction is in full-effect, expect "tweaking" to follow this summer!

Another unsuspecting human hopelessly addicted to the allure of the big bore single shot....

Be well.

So how's the recoil and such?

we shot 18 on saturday (I'd shot 2 before), and the gun still has the original thin, hard recoil pad (red decelerator is coming!).

dad shot 3 or 4, I shot the rest. as such, I took, say 14 shots (after shooting birds all morning and putting 12 shots through the 30-06), and the 13th I "felt" and the 14th was "game over" I got a really nasty tweak in my shoulder, and I knew that any more would risk developing a flinch, so it was good that we were out of ammo... most of the shots were off-hand or in a field position.

overall, recoil is very manageable. it needs that decelerator and it will be like shooting an -06 without a recoil pad, which is really no big deal.

and Holmes, addiction doesn't begin to describe it!
