Remington SPS DG (Dangerous Game) in 375 H&H

[bigpete]

Does anyone own or has anyone ever shot one ? What are they like ? I owned a 223 sps once that was really nice to shoot,have always wanted a 375hh and I like the look of the sps DG bit can't find much info on them.

I think I'm either going to be stating the obvious here or I've missed something and am asking a stupid question but...

Isn't it just going to be the same as every other Remington 700?

I bought mine second hand a while back.
The rifle is compact, light and very easy to swing around, compared to my other rifles.
Have found the rifle very light to carry. I did have the barrel Magna-Ported to mitigate recoil, but I couldn’t tell the difference between the two, non-ported and ported.
Put a Leupold 1.5x5 Vari x 3 which works a treat.

All ammo fed and extracted without a problem. At the moment I’m putting through Federal factory ammo, 300 grain round nose.
Shooting this rifle off a bench could give you a Weatherby eyebrow if not careful.

I practice standing sitting and kneeling with no problem keeping the gun under control ( not getting a scope in the face) There is a very generous recoil pad which helps a lot. Also I must mention that I have shot the rifle in the prone which was more comfortable to shoot than off a bench.

Since the rifle is light, the most rounds I can tolerate putting through the rifle is anywhere from 15 to 20. This is using the said ammo above.

Also by using lighter bullets the recoil won’t be as stout as the 300 grainers.

Is there a down side? Yes, ammo is pricey, Fed power shock goes for $87.00 for 20.
Bought mine a few years back for $36 a packet, needless to say I stocked up.

Thanks for the useful response.

Makes a miss frustrating when you're near as putting $5 in to the bush each time.
