I've been thinking about a 375 down the road as well. From the few that I have shot, i've kinda got an idea of what I want. Right now I am thinking for my money and intended use the Remington 798 is the best deal going (Zastava action) NIB they are around $700, upgrade to a better stock and shorten the barrel to 24 or 22" and i'd be good to go.

I've had them at 22", 24", 25" and 26". I'll never have a "keeper" over 22" again.

I'm thinking the 260gr accubonds or partitions would be the chit on elk and other big critters.

Guy isn't that what you used on your bear out of your #1?

I shot a stock 798 with factory 270gr loads and it was down right pleasant recoil wise.

If I run into a large sum of money the Winchest model 70 safari classic is a beautiful rifle. Not sure If i'd go blue wood or stainless synthetic.

Matt - yes, 260 Accubond at a modest 2620 fps, from a mild charge of RL-15. One shot at a bit over 300 yards, full penetration and the bear fell instantly. We found him under some brush, he crawled about 6' after being hit, lost a lot of blood.
