.... Newly listed on GB: Left Hand KS .375 RUMI fired two rounds out of a 7 RUM barreled action mounted in a KS stock. All it took to convince me it was too much of a good thing. Cannot imagine a .375 RUM in a KS configuration...

No thanks. A detatched retina doesn't sound like much fun.

That would be absolutely brutal. I'm with OSU on this one, I like my retinas right where they are now.

" shot very little " Reminds me of a post on 24HCF a while back. Guy walks into a gun store with a heavy kicker and a box of ammo. Three fired cartridges in the box. LGS guy says “You only fired it three times?” Guy responds “No. Third owner.”

No more magnums or 12 gauge slugs in fixed breech shotguns.

Well I read on here that you just need to get a little more upright on the bench with these type cartridges. Should make someone a fine rifle. I'm waiting on my 6x45 build myself.

A 300 Weatherby in a KS configuration is when I realized that recoil did bother me. That’s not even close to the 375 RUM.

I guess no one on this thread would want to buy my 10.75lb. LH M-70 in .470 Capstick, huh?
Shoot straight, shoot often, but by all means, use enough gun!

If I read correctly, the 470 Capstick is 375H&H blown out and necked up. In which case your 470 would be a perfect candidate to rebarrel to 375H&H and then rock on. A 9-9.5 pound 375H&H is just about right for my taste. Light enough to carry. Heavy enough to make recoil more of a stiff shove than a smack.

You want recoil? Once owned a REM 700 built by Brown Precision. It was chambered in 450 Ackley. Iron sights, glass stock, weighed just over 6 pounds. No one asked to shoot it twice. It was quickly sold. Almost as bad was a REM 700 KS in 375 H&H. The muzzle lift was so bad a brake had to be installed. Killed a lot of Moose with that rifle as well as caribou, Kodiak black tail deer, caribou, wart hog, and impala. It was carried a lot of miles and the light weight was appreciated.
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

The .470 Capstick was my 'heavy".

I was thinking the other day how much I used to hate Bill Clinton. He was freaking George Washington compared to what they are now.
