I ordered a Carry Weight CheyTac from Hill Country rifles in 375 CheyTac a while back. Got it in yesterday. Shot it a little today. What an amazing weapon! Can wait to harvest something with it. I went with a Spuhr mount and Vortex Razor HD Gen II 4.5-27x56 for now. The rail on the action has 40 MOA built in to it.
Just got my new rifle in

Cool Points for Days!!
What is total weight?
Have you shot it yet? Target pics?

The total weight, unloaded is 15lb 15oz. The rifle weighed 12.25lb unscoped. The Vortex is a pig. I only shot 6 rounds through it. Two get it on at 25 yards, one to get it the right height at 100, then a 3 shot group. It made an nice triangular group about 1" high at 100, which is where I'll want to be for my 200yard zero. I didn't take a pic of the group.
What the barrel length?
Love the looks of it. Kinda makes my 300 RUM look like a pea shooter, so I'm jealous.

2 problems I notice right off the bat:
1) Pictures are too small.
2) There are not enough pictures.
Awesome rifle, man.

It looks even better up close! I'm curious about the recoil of this gun. A friend of mine has a .375 Cheytac that I've fired quite a bit: 22 lbs with scope, a big muzzle brake, and a nice chassis with recoil pad. It is not bad at all to shoot. I have a Weatherby 338-378 that weighs around 10.5 or 11 lbs with scope. It has a low-profile brake similar to yours, and it's a little punishing with the 300 grain bullets. Definitely manageable for a hunting rifle, but it will beat you up at the range. Since the .375 uses 20-30 grains more powder and 350+ grain bullets I've wondered how bad it would kick in a gun like this. I think it would be a great long range elk gun!
I thought the recoil was similar to my un-braked 338 Win Mag Browning A Bolt. Perhaps a little heavier but not as sharp of an impulse. I didn't think it was too bad. My plans were long range elk. A 15lb plus rifle isn't ideal to hump up and down mountains but I'm a big boy. 6' 4" 220 and in decent shape. I don't think I'll notice much difference once it's on my pack.

I am very curious about Hill Country rifle I am assuming they are legit the only reason I ask is because I only see them advertised on the internet so the rifle that you purchased would you recommend to a friend I too am looking at a 375 CheyTac. Also Im still reviewing them. I hope do not offend anyone. I only seek information on a quality built .375 cheytac

Hill country is legit. They have a full blown production facility and staff. They can do a full custom build on your supplied parts, an accuracy job on a stock rifle, or supply you with one of their production rifles.
To the OP, beautiful rifle!!
