Mark,
I pm'd you the weights on my 375 ouch and ouch(Leupy scope and Talley lightweights) came in at 7.9 lbs.

Thx, remind me which scope is that?

That is a worlds supply of hunt rig there isn't it. It and a 270 and a 223 and one can conquer the planet...grin

VXIII 2.5-8X.

A 223, 270 and 375 sounds like a nice set indeed.

Yep, it is all a man would ever truly need.

Did they put some decent iron sights on that model?

Are they express type and of decent quality?

Not that it makes a huge difference. Just curious.

Lodgepole,
I don't have much experience with iron sights, but these on the XCR look fairly sturdy, if I get a chance I will post some pics of the sights on this thread.

I was just wondering because when Savage was chambering their 116FSS in 375 H&H they were putting a pretty nice set of Williams sights on them. Last I looked Savage quit making the 116FSS in 375. Bummer.

Id buy it. Every rem 375 anything has been 800 or more where I'm from in Minnesota. Everyone says the push feed vs controlled feed, but in my experience for $1000 rifle in this caliber. Push feed feeds more reliably. if you go to a $2000+ rifle, Then you should definitely choose a controlled feed and not accept the rifle until it feeds like butter and shoots well. I was looking for a 375 RUM, but the Remington at 7.5 lbs for the RUM seamed to light. So I went with the Ruger. For the H&H, it seems light weight for beginners, but once you get use to it, I will be a great all around rifle.

Picked up the SPS DG 375 H&H last Friday. Ammo finally came in and I went to the range. It seemed to shoot fine as far as I could tell with open sights at 100yds. Out of 35 shots everything was on the paper (12") and you can contribute that variance to my shooting and a couple of flinches. I weighed it when I got home and it came in at 7lbs (that explains the flinches and my sore shoulder).

dude, 35 shots in a row!~

Finally got around to getting it out....

Nice vacrt2002, I have one of the SPS DG's on order. I'm planning on putting it in a CDL stock when it gets here. Probably glass bed it to hopefully to keep the stock intact. Hope it works out good.

Thanks.......CAS did and great job on the cerakote and putting together.

There's one of these DG M700's, new, at my local gunshop. They keep telling me they'll make me a he'll of a deal on it. Anyone wants one right NOW, let me know and I'll hook ya up!

I want it... But I can't even begin to rationalize one for the critters I hunt...

Maybe the wrong forum, but I have Warne QR (new to me)on this 375, they seem really solid. Should I blue (med) locktite the bottom four screws? I did the top four.

I blue locktite all of my Talley one piece light weight, because I usually do not remove mounts once their on.**preference**

Jeff O,
If you need help rationalizing it for deer,
I shot three whitetails with mine this fall.
Shooting the 200 gr FN Sierra bullets at 2200 fps it kicks very little and all three were DRT! I couln't be happier,
unless I draw a moose tag next year, or a bear tag.

Fella's, I picked up my new SPS DG 375 H&H yesterday. It is light thats for sure. I think I may have it coated with ceracote or something like it. I don't like the SPS finish all that much mainly because it rusts easy. Anyway i took it home pulled it out of the stock ,wiped it down with gun oil and cleaned the barrel. This morning I took it to the range with just the open sights and shot a few rounds to get accustomed to it. Now this is the first rifle I've had bigger than my 35 Whelen (or shot).

To be honest I was ready for a whuppin, well it wasn't so bad at all. A little more than my 35 with hot loaded 250's. I also haven't shot open sights much since I was a kid, so groups weren't all that great but did show it'll probably shoot when I get the scope on. With the sights set from the factory it shot 1" low and 2" to the left at 50 yrds. 10 shots with two different types of ammo wasn't too bad I reckon at 2 & 1/4" for the group. The ammo was Remington corelokts 270 gr. and some older Winchester silvertips which I have no clue what grain they are. I like it! I'm going to put a CDL stock on it and a 2.5-8 Leupold on it probably in some Warne QD rings.

Anybody know what grain the silvertips may be? They did seem to kick a little harder.

I have had no issues with my Rem 700 in 270 I've had forever (since 1970). Hunted in the mountains, forests and desert with it. Slid down a hill (not planning to) with it. Shot every thing from marmots and crows, javelina, deer, elk and more than a few bears with it. It has it's scratches on both the stock and the barrel but is still shoots nickel sized groups after thousands of rounds through it. It has never failed to feed or eject either and I load my rounds a bit on the hot side (150g Noslers at 3000 fps) ...

I bought a CZ Safari Classic for my 375 H&H, but if I hadn't wanted to potentially rebarrel to a larger caliber I would've bought a remington. I saw a sweet older custom in 375 H&H with the rosewood foreend and grip cap for $1000 ...
