My pre 64 Mdl 70 that Dennis Olson worked over from the original 30-06 is a great rifle now in 375. That may be an option, but the Mdl 70 was never known as a light rifle by any stretch of the imagination.

Buy an English made 375 (Holland etc) or have a look at them as they tend to be made lighter and svelt.

I handled a WR 375 a while back (owner would not sell, even so I probably couldn't afford it) and that rifle is the one I'd like to emulate. Handling was really nice, light and well balanced, even with the 26" barrel. Seems to me, though, this rifle could be built for a lot less. I don't mind paying for quality, but think these rifles come with a price tag that reflects the name on the rifle (which is understandable), and could be built for less for like quality and materials.
