Finally got my 375 AllenMag the other day. Haven't had a chance to shoot it yet, but will this weekend for sure. I think it turned out great. This is an improved version of the 375 CheyTac. I'll be running the 350gr SMKs in it for now. Kirbys test loads were pushing them at 3258fps. Here it is. Specs are: BAT 1.55x8.5 single shot receiver 40 moa steel rail 30" Lilja barrel 1:10 APS large 5 port Painkiller muzzle brake McMillan A-5 Desert camo Jewell trigger with bottom safety Cerakote finish NF Ultralight tactical rings NF NXS 5.5-22x50mm NP-R1 NF ACI with rail mount

Other than color that looks very very much like my 338AM. Kirby builds some nice rifles I hope you enjoy her.

whoo weee, that's a bad sumbitch. I cannot fathom a cartridge like that or the rifle. That's a great looking rifle and looks like no shortcuts were made.
Long Range Water Buffalo on the menu? jk
Do you plan on hunting with this rifle or just seeing how far you can hit stuff with it?

Thanks for all the kind words, guys. I think Kirby said it weighs about 18lbs, but I'll get it out and weigh it. I do hope to use it for some hunting and plan on breaking it in on this years antelope. Yes, Kirby sure does build some nice stuff! I was lucky enough to pick this up in person and shake the mans hand. It's only about a seven hour drive for me and it was well worth it.

That Sir, is a serious piece of kick azz. I think you went a little overboard on the scope, based on the latest [bleep]. A six power with one of those knob twisty thingys on top is all a guy needs.

Ha! You always have to run an overboard scope on an over-penetrating rifle! A group photo might be in order.

I had the privledge of firing a few of Kirby's rifles out near his shop. The .375 AM was among them. The ranges that milk jugs were exploding was mindboggling. I want one of his .300's someday. Awesome rifles and a better guy you won't meet. mtmuley
