Correct weight for a 375 H&H takedown sporter.
13/02/17 10:34 PM

Ok, I'm having Joe Smithson build me a lightish, trimmer 375 H&H takedown on a small ring GMA action.

It will be have a 22 inch sporter counter SS match barrel with front sight base, rear sight bases and sling swivel integral to the barrel. Carbon fiber stock and cerecoat finish. It will most likely have a blind magazine to keep weight down. It will have his 30mm DT rings and bases. I already have a Swarofski 1-8x24 8i scope for it.

I'm thinking of targettting 8 lbs, is that a reasonable weight for a stalking 375? Can I go lighter? I'm 6.4 feet tall and 240 lbs but I don't handle recoiling as well as some. I can't shoot the 378 or 460 weatherby at all.

Any thoughts on weight or something I'm missing or doing wrong?
