[QUOTE="comfisherman, post: 990816, member: 8394"] My 375 has shrunk and morphed since the article was written. It now has lost 1.5 inches to accommodate my scabbard pack flush for heavy brush carry. The 300 class bullets dropped 60-80 fps from my 20 in numbers, however the 260 grain class remained close to unchanged. The rifle has spent 3 season riding in a wheel house and taking skiff rides with nothing but tritium irons atop, so no long shots have been made. My eyes have begun to degrade and I think a vx 6 will be replacing the irons this fall. Hopefully that will enable some longer shots. I do love the rifle and in gets the second most trigger time of all my centerfires. The McMillan does transfer more recoil than the flimsy factory stock, but it still is mild for the horsepower it delivers. This winter I have plans to duplicate the rifle specifications of one of my favorite rifles, but this time with premium parts. If I duplicate the 375, I'll probably go 338 norma or a 338 lapua ai derivative. I love the 375 and for the shorter rangers the flight characteristics are great, but the 338 class are better. On a cz 550 a rum fits nicely, have seen more than a few done well. That should get you to your desired fps with the cutting edge bullets. And quite frankly with the piece of timber cz bolts to the 550 recoil should be relatively tame. [/QUOTE]
