Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Express Rifles and Big Bores Only Advice On Remington KS 375 H and H

Nice gun there predmaster. I ended up buying the one from this thread. The guy was not lying about how well it shoots.

I'm holding Toad responsible for my 375 addiction

Thanks, now if I can just get a ti 30-06 for the lighter stuff

God dang those are nice. How are you finding the boot to be from such a light rifle, Kroo?

Any suggestions on mine? I have steel leupold rings and bases I could use instead. I kinda like the scope that's on it. Those old scopes are hard to beat. I have quite a few of them. The eye relief is very generous and its not meant to be a long range gun nor do I want to limit myself by putting a 1.5-5 or whatever on there.
I stuck a vxII 2-7 on it first but I think I like the 3-9. I would maybe do a 3.5-10 leupy sometime if I run across a gloss non AO model. I have an older swaro habicht nova 3-9x36 1" tube that's not currently on anything but they don't have quite as generous eye relief as the leupolds. That's kinda important on a big light gun.

And what's your all's vote on the chop to 22" to get rid of the magnaporting? 20"? Leave it as is?

And I have a mcmillan ADL with the same contour barrel channel. The KS stock pictured weighs 26 ozs and the mcm weighs 30 ozs. It's not like I would put the ks in the corner either. I like it better than the mcm. What do you think there?
Here it is.

Tanner, the 375 isn't bad at all. It still is ported but I think that mainly tames the barrel jump. The Ti is about the same.
Pred, the KS had a vari-x-iii 3.5-10 on it that fogged up after I shot it the first time so I bought a vx-3. Have to send the other in.
The Ti came with a 2.5-8x36

I like that predmaster, that is a nice rig.

Well finally got to shoot mine. First time ever firing a 375 h&h. Well....I am a bit dissapointed. I really expected to get my teeth rattled. Instead it was more like a little push. Lol. I shot sierras and nosler partitions both 300gr too. Very accurate with the only 2 loads I tried. I can tell its going to work well like it is.
Here it is the way its going to stay. Went back to the reg leupold rings and bases and a 3.5-10x40.

I put a zeiss 3.5-10x44 with the 4A reticle on it so it would match my other killing rifles but I didn't like the eye relief. It looked good though lol.

predmaster,

Nice assortment of rifles! But damn, you need some color on those.

Reminds me of a guy I once knew who always bought stainless synthetic rifles. That way, when he brought a new one home his wife wouldn't know the difference, instead thinking it was just an old gun he was bringing back from the range!

Crafty bastage. I like it.

Mmmm......great marketing ploy.

"Which is cheaper? Several KS Mountain Rifles?...Or several marriages"

Buy KS...Keep a wife.

At least the porting does not look like a muz brake. It probably is a good rifle and worth the coin. I would prefer no porting also. But hey, you could cut it off or re-barrel, which would be with a shorter, heavier tube if mine.

Thanks guys I actually heard that before about keeping them all looking the same for the wife lol. Anyway I shot my 375 some more today. Wow the 270gr seem to rock me a lot harder than the 300s. I know its only 30gr difference and not a lot more powder but its like the 270 grainers kick faster more like my 300 rum where the 300 grainers are more of a big push. It was quite snappy today. Shot 5/8" 3 shot group with 270 gr hornady interlock though. I like it a lot.

I'd rethink that strategy.

My 375 KS sheared the rear windage screw.

I'd go with the DD's or QR's.

Hmmm good to know. Any opinions on talley lightweights on this rig? I have them already and I had the reg leupolds. If I had the dual dove tails I'd put them on there. I guess I could do some quick release of some kind since I have the factory sights. Are there any good QR bases that don't stick up to high for the factory irons. I'm not a fan of iron sights for anything but you never know I guess.

I've got leupold QR bases on my M70 375 & plenty low for the iron sights

A damned nice bevy of rifles here, btw.
