I see these very light 375's and wonder what the thinking is on that. A 7# .375 will rattle yo teeth.
Depends on the stock and recoil pad. I had a 700 XCR in .375 H&H. If it hadn't had a truly FUBAR chamber, I'd still have it. Mine weighed 6 lb 12 oz .. actual weight, not manufacturer prediction .. bare, no optics. It was not bad at all to shoot, big push. I attribute this to 2 things, first, the R3 recoil pad, and second, a bit of flexibility in the factory stock itself. However, when you take a fired case, turn it a quarter turn, and can't chamber it, something is BAD. When it requires Imperial Sizing Lube, which I reserve for case forming, not regular sizing lube, to get it into a FL die, something is BAD. Given that, the 2-1/2 inch accuracy, which is unacceptable to me, was not a surprised. I had a plain-jane Leupold Vari X II 3-9X40 on it. If not for that FUBAR chamber, it would have been a real useful do-everything rifle.
