Apparently the thought has occurred to Butch Searcy. He has a new rifle coming out that will be called The Classic. I asked him about it and he told me that the new receiver profile allows him to make a trimmer wrist. The barrels will also have a slimmer profile with more taper. All together he believes he will trim a half pound from a 375. This new rifle should come in at 9lbs in 375 and 9 1/2lbs in 450/400. I understand that a larger receiver will be available for 470...

I asked what it would look like and he told me that it would look just like a WR boxlock. Case coloring and all. Price will be $12000 for about 20% coverage in scroll, no articulated trigger, no intercepting sears. Std wood will be exhibition grade and you can select your own in person or via email.

I'm going to send a deposit for a 375 Flanged on Monday. Hope it comes out looking and handling well. I've been looking for a suitable 375 for a while and just find nothing appealing in a price range I'm interested in and absolutely nothing that would fit or could be reasonably made to fit this lefty. Build time is "at least eight months".
