If you're looking to familiarize yourself with the handling and mechanics of your particular rifle consider dry firing drills. There is a reason competition pistol shooters do it and only part is because of the convenience of doing it inside your own home no matter where you live. I commend you for wanting to be very familiar with your firearms and would never discourage anyone from shooting more. I am just pointing out for the cost of a couple dummy rounds and some eyerolls from your wife you can increase handling familiarity in your own living room.
You have a familiar and proven weather resistant .30-06 never a bad choice and while the Savage 116 may not have the ### appeal of a Model 70 or a lot of other rifles they are accurate and fairly simple to maintain. You're CZ .375 could be lightened up with a different stock, maybe some metal work and be made weather resistant with cerakoting. I wouldn't trade a familiar .375 H&H that was accurate for new big bore.
