[QUOTE="Paladin300, post: 2131043, member: 115299"] In a medium to heavy sporter barrel profile with the best set of rings money can buy and a 1.5-6 or 8, 3-9, 2.5-10 power scope with good eye relief. If you get all up in that dude it will kiss you good morning and you want even know it happen. No tip or nothing!😂 I don’t recommend letting your maiden voyage be from a bench rest position. I’d shoot it standing up!😁 The one in the photo is a Sako 85 classic with a Leupold vxIII 3.5-10x50 with a heavy German #1 reticle (no longer offered) in Leupold/Sako rings. This is the softest shooting 375 I have ever owned. I often shoot it freehand from a bench. On the other hand I have a custom pre 64 Winchester m70 safari heavy barrel gun with a Zeist Davaria 1.5-6 on it that will shoot sub moa but I shoot it standing up and it usually takes a day or two to get over it.🤣🤣🤣 weighs about 2-3 pounds more than the Sako. Everyone of them is different. The action and the way the stock is bedded in the big boys matters a lot. Choose wisely!!!😁 Trajectory on one is about the same as an 06 with 180gr pills but it pushes 260-300 gr pills. The one in the photo is set up to shoot out to 300 yards. On anything I would shoot with it I would not shoot any further than 400. [/QUOTE]
