Recoil is tough to quantify. I've never shot a .375 but I'd wager it's a good bit more.
As far as stock splitting and safeties bouncing, I bought this rifle with the knowledge that it may eventually need at least some tuning and/or bedding, if not restocking and/or a caliber conversion. The trigger is great so I'm going to shoot it as-is for a good bit but it will probably see some professional help before I take it after dangerous game.
I bought it pre-owned, not necessarily "used" off Gunbroker. They used a stock photo so I got really lucky on the wood.
Pretty heavy. Well over 9lbs without the scope. I put it on the scale but forgot to make note of it in my spreadsheet. Probably around 10.5lbs total.
I'm not using any factory ammo. Handloads consisting of a 400gr Hornady over ~100gr H4831.
