[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 806969, member: 22069"] My .375 H&H weighs right around 11.5 lbs scoped and fully loaded. With 300g bullets, it rocks me pretty good, but it's not abusive by any means. Admittedly, I have never fired any of the larger cased .338's, but I would have to think that firing similar weight bullets with about 20% more powder, in a rifle three pounds heavier AND with a muzzle brake, wouldn't be too hard on you if you use good hearing protection. One thing I do like about my .375 is that it is well balanced enough that it doesn't feel heavy. I don't know exactly how to accomplish this, but given the weight that you plan on toting around, it may be worthwhile to pay attention to how your rifle balances. That will make it much more pleasant to carry and shoot. [/QUOTE]
