Does anyone have an accurate weight for this particular rifle in .375hh? I understand that they are quite light for a.375 but don’t know how much they actually weigh typically. Thank you

Good guns. I have one and it groups 3 Hornady 300 gr bullets under an inch at 100 yards.

My Interarms Mark X .375 H&H weighs 9 lbs 11oz. That is with a Leupold 1.5x5 scope.

Mine weighed 8 pounds, 12 ounces with a Butler Creek Synthetic Stock, and nine pounds even with a Boyds walnut stock that I extensively remodeled. This was with an FX-II 3x20 Leupold in Weaver detachable mounts.
It also had some work done to the barrel. I shortened it from 24" to 22", but then D'Arcy Echols fitted NECG express sights. The late Dave Gentry also fitted one of his 3-position M70 type safeties, which probably added an ounce or two.

If that is 8 3/4#, no scope, unloaded, no sling……too heavy for me to hunt with! Though, it should be pleasant from the bench! memtb

I must have the heaviest one here. With a wooden Remington 798 stock, barrel band front sight, Brockman's sling stud, a Zeiss Duralyt 2-8x42 scope with illuminated reticle and sling, but unloaded... it weighs 10.5 pounds. The scope should be 1.1 pounds according to the manufacturer.

That 8 3/4 # figure is without scope on my bathroom scale.

Assuming proper stock fit, a good recoil pad, and if it’s kept as a “stock” .375 H#H….. 9# or a bit less scoped, loaded, and slung…..should be an absolute sweatheart to hunt with and quite tolerable from the bench! JMO memtb

I don’t regret selling a lot of guns which is a good business decision when one owns a gunshop. Customers get tired of you telling them that all the firearms on the racks are not for sale….😂
I had a Remington 700 KS in .375H&H that I now regret selling. Even with the 24” bbl it was lightweight and trim rifle that was not unpleasant to shoot. With the various calibers I owned like 45-70, .338wm, 325wsm, etc I didn’t feel the need for the KS but I sure would find a use for it today. ☹️

Just to be clear, it is an Interarms Mark X, with a replacement Remington 798 walnut stock ordered from Stocky's (according to the previous owner!) The stock is definitely walnut. However, also according to the previous owner: "3 rnds worth of #1 buckshot were used to fill in the inletted mortise for the front recoil lug (not present on this Mark X action). So, that sounds to me like a 1/4 pound extra, give or take. Still doesn't explain why it weighs quite so much. Perhaps a little weight added elsewhere? It's pleasant to shoot, anyways.

Mine with a Nikon Monarch UCC 3-9x40 weighs 10lbs 2oz on my postal scale. Not bad at all from the bench.
Those who must raise their voice to get their point across are generally not intelligent enough to do so in any other way.

Mine was around 9 lbs on a kitchen scale, no scope, but I'm going from memory and I'd buy 8 3/4. Definitely not light.

I used to have an Interarms Mark X Whitworth in 375. I don't recall what it weighed, but it had a hole inlet in the barrel channel for a front recoil lug and the barrel had a lug screwed on. The weight probably came from the barrel; it was decidedly larger in diameter than the barrel used on smaller calibers.

Weighed mine wearing a walnut stock. 8.5 pounds with talley bases and no rings or scope. Personally I would not want it lighter.

IME they are heavier than a 375 H&H needs to be.
