About the same.
This load was a bit hot, but even then there was no problem with extraction. Recoil was brisk!

Couldn't decide which one so he made a hybrid
That's funny right there!!
Yup, true dat. But I still could not resist leaving you a gift over on 24HCF, Super.
Got a 20" .375 Ruger for the thick stuff. The .378 is for when I'm angry at Elk.
Got a good deal on .378 factory from a fellow CGN'r. After I free up some brass there are a pile of 260 & 300gr. Accubonds that need a home.

Especially in the natural toned laminate you have used. That is a really nice chunk of wood.
Having said that, if I was partial to synthetic stocks, I don't really see why everyone gets so cranked about the Hogues. My hunting partner put a Hogue on his M70 after the factory stock busted. It's a little heavy (not a bad thing on a 338 WM) but I like the feel of the overmoulded rubber, and really like how quiet it is in the bush. I think it' a decent piece of kit.
The Hogue stock isn't a terrible stock by a long shot. I replaced mine because I am picky. My issue with it has more to do with the flared forearm and the pistol grip more than anything else. The rifle was accurate with it, anyway.
If the overall attributes of the Hogue were kept (The rubber coating over the tupperware that adds grip and is quiet) and the poor outer design (already mentioned) I may not have replaced it...Well, I probably would have, because I am a snob, but I woudl have had less reason to.
Nice rifle SC!
Way (WAY!) better stock!
All of my rifles have chromoly actions and stainless barrels....Everyone asks why until they work the bolt
Stainless actions are for people that don't know how to clean and maintain a rifle.
My 416 Ultra will get the same sights ($$).

I know you had your troubles with one of those B&Cs, but once I got my shooting form in better shape for that rifle and started using some reasoanble loads, that stock worked fine. I hadn't shot a 375 for about three yrs and was only going to the range with my 257Roberts and 22/250. I had gotten into the habit of holding those rifles with a loose grip, which of course would not work at all with a 375.
Those sights were pretty expensive, but not more than an extra scope for backup. I am very happy with them and would get another set for a similar rifle. They at NECG were very helpful at getting me the proper height to fit the stock as well as see over the bases. Their service was fast and helpful.
