Well, it would get your attention when you torched it off!

Could be used for a build; action, stock, in a slightly less violent caliber.

Only if the price is right,

I have a 375RUM, but it's the LSS model. It's a lot more pleasant to shoot than my XCR model 338RUM. The 375 is shooting 260ABs at 2990 and the 338 is shooting 250ABs at 2960. If I remember right, the 375 is shooting the 300ABs around 2800 - 2850

I would be interested if it was a LSS.
I need to add a 375 to the collection and the 375 RUM is at the top of the list.

Glad I'm not the only one that thinks .375's kick less than .338's.

Looks like an interesting rifle, but that description was about useless, looked copied and pasted from a Wikipedia article on the cartridge, very little on the rifle. I don't think Remington made SPS SS in the RUM, so it must be an original XCR?

Good thing I'm not buying any rifles for a while...

I have to take into account the 375 LSS weighs more than the XCR 338. I also took off the old style hard recoil pad and installed a Limbsaver, the 338 has the R3 pad on it.

It never mentioned anything about it being an SPS model. It is an XCR for sure.

Anyway, I get kick out of the comment about a hand loader can achieve 2950 with 300gn bullets.

Remington factory loads push a 300 grain (19 g) bullet at 2760 ft/s (840 m/s), producing 5070 ft·lbf (6.88 kJ) of energy. A handloader can increase the muzzle velocity of this bullet to a maximum of 2950 ft/s (900 m/s,) developing 5800 ft·lbf (7.9 kJ).

Well, OK maybe if it had a 28" or 30" custom barrel.

Ha. I was looking at that last night at work!

Sent the selling shop an email. Thought it would be interesting to get kicked , but it sold locally.
