Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Express Rifles and Big Bores Only Remington 700 in 375 H&H

i have a classic in 375 H&H. i'd trust my life to it (i have). my friend has an xcr in 375 h&h, never heard a negative word about it. read craig boddington's book Safari Rifles. he mentions many times taking a remington 700 to africa. if you like it, buy it. i personally like the low weight with the 700. mine topped with a 1.5x5 leupy vx-III comes in at around 8.5 lbs. i can walk all day with that setup. recoil is pretty tame for me once i added a limbsaver pad to it. i have shot 20-40 full house loads off the bench with no ill efects. that's me though, i like getting pummeled. my first rifle i ever fired was a 50 cal. muzzleloader at 3 yrs. old. my dad says to this day he has never seen somebody getting beaten with recoil with such a stupid smile on his face! your results may vary! -keith
