Is it this one?
Looks like a Remington.
The particulars would be interesting if I could make more sense out of the above.

Yes they showed a video of the guy shooting it. Looked like it did not kick too bad at all. Must be one awesome muzzle brake.

I personally don't use muzzle brakes and I have never seen any advantage to ultra light rifles, they are hard to hold steady after a run as they bounce all over hell and back when trying to make a off hand shot. A 9 lb. rifle, on the other hand, will settle down in a hurry..

lots of hunters don't shoot off hand these days, or take running shots, at least not on TV they don't , so I guess a 5 lb. rifle suits them, and nothing wrong with that, it's just not for me.

Then again I'm a curmudgeon, hate plastic, staiinless steel, and non Mauser type actions!

I defiantly agree with Ray if a 5 lb. rifle suits them, and nothing wrong with that, it's just not for me and don’t try to tell me how the recoil isn’t bad. There are people who haven’t shot a light weight big bore and they may believe it. Make mine at least 9-91/2 pounds.

where do we send the sympathy cards...?

Rich,

Send a card to the owner of this rifle too: Address it to "500 Jeffreys" Leftie instead of "500 Jeffery" Leftie, at the same website.



Surely the 5#9oz weight of the 375 RUM was without scope and Talley aluminum rings. And the 20" barrel ought to bring it down to .375 H&H normal ballistics, eh?
Shortening of the pencil barrel might have made it more accurate than a longer pencil.

OUCH!!!

My 9 3/4# .375 RUM is just right.

I was thinking if I got another 375 RUM I would go with the LSS.

My gunsmith built a 7 Lb. 8 oz., 378 Weatherby mag for a customer. You couldn't pay me to shoot it.

... chuckle ...

Great for the guy who is completely recoil insensitive ... but maybe not for me

What does that weigh with factory 26" slim barrel that is exceptionally accurate with factory 300-grain Swifts at 2800 fps?

I would have to dig in the safe and take the scope off to weigh mine.

Dry weight about 7.5 lbs for the factory M700 LSS, of laminate & stainless steel?

Could weigh 3/4 to 1 pound less with a 1-pound synthetic stock.
Light enough.

I had the synthetic stocked 700.
