Scott,
Be prepared to be spoiled. Assuming you can handle the recoil. smile Actually recoil isn't that bad. But I've seen guys who never shot anything bigger than a .243 try a .375 and they thought it was horrible.
I have a #1 tropical in .375 H&H and find the recoil right smart, especially at ranges where you can only shoot long guns off a bench. With a scope it comes back so quickly I tend to dodge the scope. I also have one in .458 Win mag and recoil with it does not seem as severe. I think it is because the .375 seems to recoil much quicker, don't know if that makes much sense.
On the other hand I have one of the CZ Safari American models in .375 H&H and it is a pussycat. Recoil with it is not as bad as my first centerfire a pre 64 Win mod 70 featherweight in 30-06
A lot of perceived recoil has to go with the stock configuration, length of pull, and weight, as well as the caliber and load.
