After 15 years I finally put my Rem 700 Custom shop Leftie 375 H&H on a scale today and discovered it weighed 6 pounds 10 ounces empty, without a scope. Now I know why it kicked so much but was a delight to carry.

What does your 375 weigh? If you could change the weight what would you make it?

I like 10.5 to 11 pounds. A bear to carry but a blessing to shoot.

With iron sites, my Mark X weighed just a hair over 8 lbs empty.

With scope and everything about 10 lbs, the trick is to have it well balanced.
Shoots like a dream and is easy to practice with.

My Rem700 Safari Classic is around 7.5lb with its 24" barrel. Lovely to carry and hunt with, good off the bench with its Classic style stock. Also had a Rem700 BDL with chopped 22" barrel of a heavier contour which weighed just under 9lb. That in hind-sight was just about perfect.

Which one?

8lbs 8 oz w/o scope, empty. 9lbs 7oz w/ scope, empty. I think this is just about perfect.

I would aim for 7.5# empty and no scope... brings it to about 9# loaded...

my first 376 steyr is too heavy at 10.25 with a a scope, but it's got dense wood and a long barrel.

jeffe

Loaded and scoped just about 10.5 Lbs

The latest one is right around 9 1/4, scoped but unloaded.

It's a Model 70, 25 inch barrel and wood stocked.

I've owned two. One, a Remington classic, was a delight to carry at 7 1/2 pounds and did not recoil as bad as I had thought. The other was a custom on a Enfield action and that weighed at about 8 pounds bare. I liked both but passsed when I finally found the M-70 I wanted....it was just too heavy at 9 1/2 pounds.

Everyone to their own on this one but I'll take a fine 8 pound .375 over a heavier one any time.

my pre-64 375 H&H with 22" bbl, steel sights, talley rings/bases, and a 1.5x5 is 8-10 loaded (4 rounds) and slung. I wouldn't change a thing

My Remington 700 SS weighs empty 7 pounds. No recoil problems and good to carry. By the way I like lightweight guns.

My Sako is 8.2 pounds with 1-4 VariX 2 and sling. One of the lightest rifles I own, but quite shootable thanks to a brake and good stock/pad.

the one I hunt with is a Whitworth with a synthetic stock and weighs just a shade over 9 pounds with sling and scope. It is very comfortable to shoot and not all that heavy.

My M70 Stainless has a custom 24" very skinny barrel, factory stock, with a Leupold 1.5x5, sling and a mag full of ammo it is 9.25 lbs. It has a Dead Mule recoil reducer in the buttstock. It is a joy to carry, and a pussycat to shoot.

Mine is a Rifles Inc rifle at abit over #7 with scope, sling and full magazine. She kicks but she carries. Good hunting. D

M-70 375 H&H

Scoped, Loaded, Slung 11.5 pounds.

10lbs 11oz with scope and sling but unloaded

Mine is a Mahillon on a M98 action with a drop box weighs in at 7 1/4 lb.It has a soft leather covered pad and is comfortable to shoot.

7# 7 oz. on a control feed modified 700 action. Synthetic Brown stock, Talley system, 1.5 - 5 Leupold, 4 rounds, 24" bbl., two Uncle Mike Utilities patched together to make a quasi military shooting sling. I hunt from foot in WY and wouldn't want it any heavier. A couple ounces lighter would be ok.

Remington 700 SS in 375 H&H, Leupold 1.75x6X in 2 piece mounts, Butler Creek neopreme sling, and 4 rounds. 8# 14 oz.

My 375 H&H Reimngton 700 ABG w/Burris Scope and Tally mounts weighs in @ 11.5 pounds.

My cz would weigh around 10.5 pounds scoped and loaded.

Looks like the M70 SS Classic w a 3-9x40 MC Zeiss Conquest on Leupold QR rings and an HS Precision stock weighs 10 pounds.

Has quite a heavy barrel.

My 375HH Mauser is 10.5 with scope and sling. Kudude

My mdl 70 SS Classic with laminated stock no scope-8 1/2 lbs. My Brno 602 ZKK with 21"bbl and no scope 8 lbs. My single square bridge WR actioned with no scope 8 lbs. Scope used on 70 and 602 is a Leupold 1.5x5 V XIII. Mauser would use a scout scope if a scope were mounted. All are very comfortable to shoot and carry. For me they are the optimum weight.
