Well I made my final decision, so I thought I'd just wrap up this thread. I decided that the most reasonable way to get what I want was to buy a different .375. A Whitworth mauser customized by David Yale of Colorado is now in the mail. It has quarter rib rear and barrel band front sights, a 3 position safety, and has been restocked. It comes in at 9 lbs 3 oz with a Leupold 1.5-5 mounted. Plus it is more in the classic british style than the Winchester is, which is what I prefer. In the end I got what I wanted and spent far less than if I were to customize the Winchester.
