Oh my, I may have to jump on that. I’ve been going back and forth on a larger than 30cal rifle. 338-06, 375Ruger...I have zero need for a big bore like this but we all know that ain’t the point.

Exactly !!!!!

That word, "NEED", is so unnecessary on a Loony site with wall to wall enablers...

I cringe everytime I see it...

As I recall, these things (or a very similar model) were rather lightweight. Nice to carry I'd think.

Yup Guy tipping the scales at 7lbs....very interested

Buy it!

Yeah.,

It doesn't have to be loaded full house to kill jackwabbits....

My good bud killed a 41" cape in Zim, using his Ruger RSM .416 Rigby, one 400 gr TSX doing the job.

His PH packed a .416 Rem, push feed M-70. He like the big RSM, but said it was too heavy. The PH packed his rifle a lot more than he shot it.

So, lighter may be better in some instances. And of course, it's common knowledge, you can't kill DG with a push feed, just not Kosher...

Very good price right there!

As a professional hunter I have used one all over the world to shoot about everything with it. Elephant, Lion, Brown Bear, Buffalo, Leopard , Brown Bear, Elk, etc. Please don’t crucify me. I ain’t dead and I ain’t done yet. Nothing broke on me or the gun.
Take a 16oz Mercury reducer, put it in a piece of 3/4 pipe insulation and put in the butt . Put enough lead in the holler for end to suit your balance preference. Mine all up loaded weighs 10 lbs. I like 10 lbs for my big guns. Very easy to tweet and balance to suit yourself. To each their own. The 700 stock just fits me. Like Chevy or Ford they’re just tools. Main thing is just shoot the hell out of it and practice. They do shoot better if you’ll try to get as much blood, mud, and scratches on it as possible.
Happy Hunting 😜

I guess hunting guns are just not selling, dealers giving them away.

Black guns and hand guns, maybe a different story.

Cool!

Yeah my local dealer can’t keep Glocks on the shelf, I’ve found excellent deals on used hunting rifles and shotguns too.

Antifa and BLM selling more guns than Obongo ever did..

Seeing all this crap on TV makes people afraid and when they're afraid, they prepare for the worst,

Crazy Joe and Willie Brown's squeeze will sell even more guns, especially if they start gaining momentum.

I do think the Trumpster will run the table, but who knows... If so, black guns and Glocks may get easier to find. If not, look out....

I had a 700 XCR in .375 for a while (rebarreled 'cause the chamber came pre-FUBAR-ed .. just for me). It was 6 lb 12 oz bare on the dealer's digital kitchen scale. Recoil wasn't bad at all for a .375. I think the factory stock acted like an extended recoil pad soaking up a lot of the recoil. I put a Loopy 3-9X40 on it in dual dovetail B&R. Sweet rifle to pack around and it clubbed the snot out of whatever I shot with it. If not for that chamber, I'd still have it. Loved that rifle.

Contrast .. I just picked up a Win 70 Alaskan .375. Despite the advertised weight, it was only 7 lb 5 ounces out of the box. Also very packable and very shootable. My shoulder says it kicks more than the Remington did. It could be the effects of time. It could be that the wood stock is stiffer and doesn't absorb recoil as the XCR stock did.

Anyway, for anyone interested in a .375 I think this Remington is a good deal. If I hadn't just gotten the Winchester, I'd have done the Remington SPS myself.

Is the Weatherby a CRF? I am unfamiliar with the latest models, and tried to look them up, but cant get an answer by just poking around the web.

Not CRF but a reliable action.

I wouldn't own a 700 as a DG rifle on a dare. Come to think of it, I wouldn't own a 700 PERIOD. As far as the DG portion goes, the flimsy, sheet metal extractor is prone to failure breakage if dirt/grit gets in there. Then there's the non-locking, fail on fire safety, the brazed on bolt handle and it's issues with feeding at less than optimum angles. Notice I did not mention the CRF isse, because although it is preferred, lots of other good, DG rifles like Weatherbys, post 64 Winchesters, Sakos, etc that are puch feed.
