Thanks guys.

Homer - I've never actually watched anyone shoot a .378 Weatherby. But an older gentleman I used to shoot with years ago claimed that shooting this rifle pinched a nerve in his neck. He had been interested in the Weatherby cartridges and had progressed from the .257 up to the .378. By the time I knew him he had sworn off the high velocity stuff and settled on a pair of Browning Safaris in .375 and .458. He claimed the .378 recoil was worse than the .458 in that the gun snapped back violently, whereas the .458 was a strong but slower push. May be something to this? Could also have something to do with the Weatherby stock.

I can bench shoot a .416 Rigby for four or five shots once in awhile but have to be carefully prepared for each shot. A .270 Winchester in a light rifle starts to bother me after 10 or 15 rounds from the bench. That's about my tolerance for recoil.

I'll think on the auction listing. It may be that the gun will bring less because of the caliber.
