Speaking of recoil, it's all in you head. Didn't any of y'all ever play football when you were young? You got knocked around a whole lot worse than the butt end of a rifle. You can work up to heavier recoiling rifles. It really helps to shoot one that is a lot larger than the 375. Then when you go back to the smaller caliber you think it is a pussycat. It works the same way with temperature. Around here cold weather is 40 degrees. Don't laugh, you northerners. It was 110 degrees and 90% humidity this summer. Then it gets to 20 degrees and when it warms up to 40, it isn't cold anymore. I used to wear a Past recoil pad to shoot a 7mm mag off a bench. I don't wear it anymore and I shoot up to a 450 NE. If recoil bothers you, try shooting standing up.
