Here's mine. Currently at the 'smith getting the barrel cut back to 23", an NECG banded front sight and sling swivel. Karnis refinished the stock adding the crossbolts, recoil pad and forend tip and really cleaning up the checkering. I like the way BRNO layed out the stock a lot, very lean. I bought the rifle with LaPour safety, straight checkered bold knob, banded swivel and added checkering from Cabelas a year or so ago. Went in to buy one of the Ruger Alaskan 375's they were selling for $600 and found this for $50 more. Easy decision.
Mine's a Montana 99 with their barrel. I added express sights, Duracoat and opened up a Model 70 stock to accept the barreled action. It shoots great but as yet has no blood to it's credit.

Chronographs, bore scopes and pattern boards have broke a lot of hearts.
Mine is a stainless Rem 700 BDL in .375 RUM with a 26" bbl with a KDF brake. I put in a Richards laminated stock that is pillar and glass bedded and has a Limbsaver pad and a mercury recoil reducer. I finished and checkered it with my favorite multi-panel pattern.
I've taken it to Africa twice and it's deadly on everything from Steenboks to Buffalo.

Here is my 375 Wby, it started out as a very early smooth bolt Wby MK 5 that was in 300 Imp. I had a 26" #5 McGowan barrel, Brown Precision stock and a 4x Leupold put on it. After several years I put it in the Boyd stock, it was just to heavy so it went back into the Brown stock The rifle above my 375 is my 340 Wby. The target is a group from the first time I shot the 375. The load is a 235 gr Speer SP, IMR 4350 and Wby case. Also the last pic is the 8mm Rem mag Classic the I had that has a 26" #5 Douglas barrel and is pillar bedded. Randy
There are a lot of great looking rifles on this thread! The .375's range from honest utilitarian good looks to some absolutely superb custom rifles... Terrific.
Those who haven't blooded yours yet - get 'em afield, the various .375's are a wonderful bunch of general purpose hunting cartridges!
Lefty Sako Deluxe 375 H&H, Leupold 1.5-5 VariX III. IIRC I got it in the mid 90's. Killed a spike buck in PA right after I got it and then took it to AK in 1998 for a bear hunt that turned out to be a camping trip........<grin>
Chuck, I've got a few questions about that XCR II if you don't mind answering a couple.
How do you like the stock thus far? I know they're not too well thought of, but they seem to be one of the better factory offerings as far as plastic handles go. Flimsy? Light?
How long is that barrel, and what is the diameter at the muzzle? I know you had said that the gun was a lot lighter than Remington reported on the website. Thanks!
