With hearing protection not much different than a 308 Stutzen we were shooting at the same time. I did not try them with out the muffs. I don't like the idea of the two piece stock but both of these rifles were very accurate and you can't tell by looking that it is two piece. The heavier stock on the 375 felt appropriate.

I liked them a lot.
