Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Express Rifles and Big Bores Only The "Let's See Your 375" Thread!

I like the stock a lot. It soaks up recoil and the gun shoots well under MOA. The XCR II in 375 weighs 6 1/2 lbs without scope and kicks less than my CZ 550 in 375 H&H did at 9 lbs. Sure it's a bit ugly but so are all synthetics in my opinion. The barrel is 24", the muzzle diameter is .660. I sighted it in on Saturday after having the nickel plated scope rings replaced with CeraKoted Tallery QR rings. It was high in elevation but dead on in windage. I just walked it down and fired two shots in a row without changing the scope when I had it where I wanted it. I also had the POS rear sight replaced with an NECG express sight, big difference!

Cool! Thanks Chuck.

Yes, sir.

About 7'-2"
Just a whisker under 700 lbs. live
21 15/16" on the noggin.

Yoder, you look exactly like one of the dudes from the show "Gold Rush". Nice bear too... probably could've rolled that one out instead of packing it.

Haven't seen the show. Can't imagine there being TWO fellers on the planet as dashingly handsome as myself, but............

Luckily the bear fell within 50-75 yards of an area I could access with my Jeep Cherokee. It twisted my hitch-hauler and killed the rear leaf springs permanently. But there was minimal issue in getting him out. Thank the Lord !!! In PA they have to go to a check station.......... in one piece.

Another Sako...

There's some dang fine rigs here, boys. Maybe this thread will inspire me to do something about my .375 lust. I'd like to find one of the Ruger Alaskans with the 23" tube and laminate stock, or maybe one of the new M70 Alaskans and dump it into a d'Arcy Echols stock, or maybe just pick up a M70 Safari Express.

Brother Bill, that's a dream rig right there!

Here's my M70/375 Wby. Schneider cut to what else but 23"....grin. The barrels a 5 wt and I'd not go quite this heavy if I did it again. I'd go with one of Gary's 4.5 weights.

But, it's a shooting machine. Thinks it's a yote gun...grin



Dober

Phew, that's a winner too Dober! That tube does look majorly thick, what's the whole dog weigh?

I'll have to weigh it....tomorrow (I think about 8.5 as it sits)

Dober

That's a good weight! With the XCR stock mine weighs under 8 without a sling and rounds in the belly, and as I found out 2day, not unpleasant to yank the trigger on, even 'outta the dirt off a pod... grin

Plain Jane Model 70 from the original first run after Winchester came to their senses and re-instated the CRF. My 300gr Swift Aframe handloads:


And a "suitable" eland caliber (none of that 260 Rem BS):

Just upgraded my CZ with a McWoody:





Great job by McM, perfect fit.

What do you guys with experience think of the LW H&H contour barrel? Too heavy, too light, or just right. Thanks.

FN Mauser in .375. 4'ish contour Shilen. Weighs about 7.6 as pictured and balance great. Close to a perfect .375 in my mind.

DMD, that rig is total nirvana!

My thought also and recoil isn't bad. Not nearly as bad as the 9 pound .416 Rigby this replaced.

Recoil really ain't too bad, mine comes in at 7.8 scoped, and I wasn't impressed by the recoil of the 270gr Speers.

Dober, nice! That a pre 64 action?
