[QUOTE="Kennibear, post: 904801, member: 51650"] Looked for this same setup three years ago and settled on a Savage Weather Warrior in 375 Ruger two years ago. Paid extra for Savage to screw in a 26" barrel. If you reload this caliber can really perform. But it has recoil. If you shy away from punchy guns then 300 WinMag is a better choice. I was looking for a ton (2000 ft lbs) of energy at least 500 yards out with enough velocity to expand the bullet. With Nosler's 260 gr 375 caliber Accubond driven by 79.5gr of WW 760 and a Fed#215 the 26" tube pushes 3022 AV w/ 9fps SD. This gives 2000 ft lbs out to 630 yards and drops to 1800 fps (lower threshold of the AB expansion) at 670 yards. It is almost as flat as a 300 WinMag. It is not for the faint of heart as the recoil is fierce. But for 8 - 9 lbs there are very few rifles that generate >5000 ft lbs at the muzzle and carry a ton of it past 600. KB [/QUOTE]
