Tim-I sure like the looks of that bad boy, what does it weigh?
I know of a basically new one in 375 RUM for $625, I think that's a good price what do you think?

Mark, have not the chance to weigh it,but my guess is around 7.5lbs. If it is an XCR you are talking about THAT is a good deal!.

The only Rem 700 in .375 H&H that I have shot was a Classic, and I agree with one of the previous posters about the light weight. Nice to carry, but kind of rough to do much shooting with.

[Major league big time....stick it in a Ti take off, cut the tube to 21", add Talley's and a 6x36 Leo with LR dotz in it and a Uncle Mike's Mtn sling. R15 and 260 Accu's and go forth and fill an ark. Not that I've given this any thought or anything... Everyone, should own a 375 IMO. Dober [/quote] Hey Gang, Just wondering what you would think of this idea? I'm thinking it would be a sporty and light 375. Your thoughts please? Thx Dober

Hey Tim-if you get the chance would you be able to weigh the stock on your 375 for me?
Thx

Yes, I have a remingotn xcr in .375 H&H also. I mounted it in a hs precison stock and topped it off with a Kahles CL 4-12x52. I've been using double tap 235 grain Barnes TSX moving at 3100 FPS and shoot under a inch at 100. My only picture of it, Mr. Yote was 277 yards. ![[Linked Image]](http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii60/piwonka/DSC00605.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii60/piwonka/DSC00606.jpg)

How much and what kind of powder are you running to get to 3100 with a 235 out of a 375?
Thx

Another guy got first dibs on a used Rem 700 Classic in 375H&H the other day;I was surprised at how light the barrel contour was.Nice rifle.... As demonstrated by the slightly defunct coyote pictured above,how many cartridges can take you from a 30 lb varmint to an 1800 pound buffalo,with complete safety,and the accuracy neede to snuff the varmint at long range?And in a package weighing about 8# all up?I doubt the H&H is going anywhere soon...

I use double tap ammunition. www.doubletapammo.com I've been using Dt ammo in all my rifles for a few years now and have been pretty impressed with the accuracy and chrono readings. When I chroned them I was getting like 3116 in my rifle, the company says 3100. I'm glad I bought six boxes about five months ago, they were 45.00. Now they are 59.99 a box!! They also have a heavy weight Woodleigh Weldcore 350 grain bullet moving at 2450 FPS, man that has to be a hammer!! I shoot DT ammo in my pistols also, the 10mm ammo is just like the 10 should be, not watered down!!!

Siskyou and other,
My local gunshop bought all the Rem 700 DGR in 375 H&H and just got delivery last week. This is that special edition with the black splatter coated barrel, open sights and the two tone stock with a nice R3 pad.
Brand new in the box - $499.95. I can't help it - I need one to play with and bring on my next elk hunt. I'm not a Remmy fan and its not the almighty CRF but the price is quite good.
The dealer has put one on Gun Broker under the name of:
"littlecrowsports". No offense here to others and I don't have any financial interest - just promoting looneyism.
Couldn't find the SPS DGR on the Remington website. Can anyone advise the specifications (esp. weight)?

Tough composite stock w/ positive checkering. Matte carbon steel action from solid-bar stock. Famous "three rings of steel" strengh. 24" bbl w/ open sights & bbl band. Drilled/tapped for mounts. X-MARK Pro Trigger is adjustable. Nice recoil-reducing R3 pad, a embellished hinged floor plate w/ Special Engraving & studs.
It's SPS. I have one (not DG version) the SPS, CAS coated it, floated it and wrapped in a mcswirly. Would love to show you, but it's in storage in VA and I'm CT. Maybe next month I'll get and actually get to pull the trigger. I only had it a week before I moved...........gl

I've also had very good luck with DoubleTap ammo. I've used their .338 Winchester, .35 Whelen and .375 H&H loads and all have proven accurate and chrono'd as quoted/near quoted listed velocity. My Whelen especially likes their 225 grain Accubond and 250 grain Speer loads and tolerates the 310 grain Woodleigh well enough to strike down Asiatic water buffalo at 50 paces.

Found elsewhere on this site that weight is supposed to be right @ 7 lbs. Kind of in a quandry. I could get one of those or a Ruger Frontier .358 for a tad less. The Frontier is more of a niche slapper better suited to my AO, while the .375 is a general/worldwide mid-bore thumper...guess as a certified rifle lunatic I need to find the bucks to do both. Maybe go 2.5 Leupold/Aimpoint on the .358 and a 6x fixed on the .375. Really need to shoot the Ruger No. 1 Tropical .375 and decide if I want to keep it...work and holidays put me off my range schedule.

Hey all!! I'm new to this forum but had to join up to tell everyone about my new toy. I just scored the 700 SPS-DG 375 H&H off gunbroker from littlecrow sports. I had to check their feedback because they seem to be selling at about $150 less than anyone else. It was listed for $499 but I used the "buy it now" b/c I couldn't stand the suspense and it was only $20 more. But I scored it for $520 plus S/H ($545 total) and can't wait to shoot it. Should be in next week...I'll go ahead and weigh it when it arrives but another site selling one (for $680) listed it @ 7lbs.

That is a good price, Andy!
I think my 700XCR 370 cost me about 850 bucks.
