Trying to find others that have experience with this gun. I've read the ballistics, seen the videos and talked to Dave. But I'd love to hear from those that own one. Mine should be ready sept 2015
Thanks |

Mine should be ready sept 2015 Thanks It was a fun rifle, expensive, not practical but damn fun and quite the conversation piece. I know Dave uses some modular rear bolt setup rifles so the OAL may be far superior with a setup like that if that's what you ordered. If you have specific questions about this subject feel free to e mail or IM me. A great source of information on these big 375 is over at Longrangehunting.com Dave and Kirby are both regular contributors to the forums there, if you don't already know. I have found there is not much of a precision long range crew here at ARFCOM. Gratuitous picture of the big 375  |
| Im sorry for not getting back sooner. I've been kicked off due to the fact I didn't have a "paid email account". Great info and awesome pic! Thank you for getting back to me. Since this post, I had ordered the custom .375vm from Dave. He said I should have it Aug/Sept sometime. Most likely going to have to drive up to Thunder Valley Precision in OH to zero it, since Tom has the 1 mile targets. I might be able to go longer if I pay him to take me out? Only scope I have right now for that gun is a Vortex 6-24x52 PST FFP. I hope it will hold zero with the recoil from it. I don't think it would make much difference to put my uso 5-25x58 on it as it close to same as the vortex. I am blind as a bat and will more than likely have to shoot blind and pray my data is right on. I haven't found much more info on the .375vm. Found a lot on the weatherby, and H&H. |

I also ran a 375 AllenMag for several years. The big 375s are extremely impressive and I'm sure you'll LOVE yours. I never really hunted with mine as it was more then I wanted to carry. I had a lot of fun with the rifle but eventually had to move on to other things. The only thing I really didn't care for was the quality of the Jamison brass...
