I'm going to Africa in 2013 and found a nice deal on the subject gun. I looked up the recoil with a 270 grain bullet and it says 41 lbs. which seems a little high. Can you tell me about your experience with recoil while shooting this gun? Thanks.
I took the Ruger 375 to South Africa in 2008. Recoil is a little stout if you are hunched over it at a bench, but don't practice like that for Africa! When we were there, 95% of our shots were taken off of shooting sticks. When you are standing and firing, recoil is waaay less. I took 12 animals with it ranging from eland to impala and never once even noticed the recoil. Don't forget to practice off of shooting sticks though!
