A 22oz stock on a 375? No thanks!
The rifle will weigh about 8 1/2# scoped, slung and loaded. About ideal I believe.

And more importantly, it balances and points like a dream.
Balance is critical with all of my rifles and my hunting style. I wouldn't have a problem with a 8.5 pound 375 H&H if it is properly stocked in a good ol Brown Precision. My 338 win mag only weighs 8 pounds all up (loaded w/5 cartridges and scoped). Suits me just fine. The key piece of that build is the Brown Precision stock: That stock really helps to mitigate recoil because of it's excellent ergos..
