Hunt something smaller.  Not sure which would hurt less, pulling the trigger on that, or a bovine stomping. I've experienced the bovine stomping but will not experience a 375 RUM. Like leopard and lion?

Yup,buffalo,lioness and elephant. If'n I don't buy a .416 Rem/Dakota/Taylor/Rigby.  Spend the money! Buy the rifle!!!

Williams front? Who made the rear?
I have a Williams Firesight on the front of my M94 and a Foolproof on the back. I've heard others talk about the f/o being fragile, but I've not experienced it (yet). However, Williams does off fiber optic tubes as part of their repair kits, so it must be somewhat common.
Nice work on that rifle. Who installed the sights?

welcome to the .375 RUM club! is that an SPS or XCR? here is an "after' of my .375 SPS. I cut the barrel to 23" and dropped it into a B&C. I have to scoot the scope all the way forward like that to avoid contact with my noggin. ![[Linked Image]](http://i399.photobucket.com/albums/pp78/1sikpupi/375spsLargejpg.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i399.photobucket.com/albums/pp78/1sikpupi/100_1780_00Large.jpg)

Nice work on that rifle. Who installed the sights? A LGS gunsmith for the front and me for the rear sight. Toad,I think it's SPS. Gonna use 300 gr Swift A-Frame in it.

that'll be a handful. I can tell the diff in recoil between the 235 gr. TSX and 260 gr. AB, both at max pressures. BTW if you use QuickLoad, you have to change the 'weighting factor' from 0.65 to 0.5 to get results in line with reality

That should be fairly energetic. Sort of like a 8 lb .470 Nitro
