[QUOTE="memtb, post: 2505527, member: 75451"] Great cartridge! While I don’t have one, because of the limitations in Africa….. for NA a great choice. I’m a great fan of the .35 magnums, especially the .358 STA and the 350 G&H which are near twins! Things I did to my .375 AI…… iron sights with 2 leaf folding rear, forward sling swivel mounted on the barrel (lowers the muzzle when carrying slung helping in brush/limbs, also eliminates the possibility (though remote) of the swivel getting into the web of the hand during recoil), quick release base/rings (I went with Leupold) with a back-up scope zero’s and ready if needed. I went with a 24” Douglas SS Match of the lightest contour, a good synthetic stock (I went McMillan Classic), good recoil pad (I went Pachmyar Decellerator). The 24” barrel gives good velocities and with the sling swivel barrel mounted keeps the muzzle quite low when carried on the shoulder. I recommend trying to keep the weight very near 9 pounds scoped, loaded, slung…..any lighter and recoil may be an issue from the bench, any heavier and it gets a bit heavy on a long day of hunting/climbing! memtb [/QUOTE]
