[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1806917, member: 30902"] Believe it or not I have a McMillian ultralight on a .375 Ruger that I really love. If you're the least bit recoil sensitive look at the Pachmahr decelerator or Limbsavers pads. I have read good reviews on some of the gel filled pads as well but have no personal experience. A good muzzle break or very efficient suppressor is also very well worth considering. You cannot transport a suppressor out of the US due to federal restrictions but you can buy or borrow one overseas for a couple of hundred bucks in many countries, use it there and give it to your guide as a "tip" or pass it off to a fellow hunter coming in as you are leaving. I spite of the voodoo and magic I occasionally read online I have yet to see a thin whippy barrel perform well enough accuracy wise to suit me. Consider a proof carbon or similar barrel in a large profile so you have well earned confidence in the performance especially at long range in crappy/windy conditions and I think you'll be much better off. Get your weight savings out of the stock and optics but go with a barrel you can have well deserved and proven confidence in. A few ounces or even a pound will not be a make or break issue in the field. [/QUOTE]
