I just bought a new 375H&H. It's nice. A Remington 700 xcr with a Leupole 2.5-8x scope and a laminated thumbhole stock.
I'm still breaking the barrel in. But Getting back into the 375 I'm reminded of the frustration I have shooting these things off the bench. When I use a normal front rest (bench rest with a sand filled Protektor bag) I get so much muzzle jump that I can't tell if bad groups are the gun or just a result of the jump.
I can get around this somewhat by holding the rifle with a death grip. But, of course, that's not the "good technique" that I've learned to use with my 308s.
Is that the key? Do you have to just hold onto these things for dear life? Or is there some other technique that I just haven't stumbled upon yet?
Thanks,
Ben
