I suspect little as I once owned an early and lighter Rem 700 KS MR from the custom shop when Brown provided the stock (not a PoundR). It cracked at the recoil lug. I sent it back to Remington and they sent it back bedded in the McM stock that now holds my beloved 338-06 rebore of 1995. I killed two elk with that rifle, the 375. This rifle, the 375 H&H M70, is a touch heavier and easy to shoot and noticeably gentler than my 9 1/2# M70 416 Rem M70 in a McM magnum bedded stock. I see no reason to hunt with a 9 or 10# 375 H&H unless recoil is a real issue and it is for some.


Conduct is the best proof of character.
