How many of you fellas out there have one or have used one?
I have been dreaming since I was a kid of going to Alaska for a big bear.I knew I wanted a 375 and found a used one at what I thought was a good price. Bought it and received it last week. We took it to the range...and wow! Inch groups at 100 yards...on a gun I didnt site in.
Questions are
1)What kind of recoil pad is best. Its already got a muzzle brake, but still got a good thump. I know that it will never be a 243, but I also know I am a better shot if Im not as worried about the recoil.
2)It came with a fiberglass thumbhole stock on it and the original stock besides. Is it going to help recoil to put the heavier wood stock(heavier) back on, or does the thumbhole give a guy enough better grip to negate the positives of the heavier stock?
3)I would love to hear some opinions on bullets(positive and negative) from some of you guys who have used them. Especially anyone with experience hunting the bears.
Thanks for any input
