Outstanding! Thank you very much!!! Past experience has taught me that nothing beats word of mouth recommendations. It's the best way to cut through the malarkey. The guide I used in Alaska I found that way. A young guy who was working as an IT consultant for us recommended the guide --...

I'm looking around for a combination hunt to do with my son as a high school graduation present for him. Either elk/Mule Deer or Mulie/Pronghorn. This would be two years out, so there's plenty of time. Just returned from an unsuccessful mountain mulie hunt in Alberta (weather too hot, too many...

Much obliged! I'll look into it.

Hello! I know this thread is a bit old, but I'm looking around for a mulie-pronghorn combo to do with my son as a high school graduation present for him. This would be two years out, so there's time. Just returned from an unsuccessful mountain mulie hunt in Alberta (weather too hot, too many...

Thanks! Anyone else? Looking mainly for accuracy work, trigger jobs, rebarreling/rechambering, restocking, etc.

Greetings! I'm considering having some work done on one of my Ruger #1 rifles and was wondering if anyone had a U.S. -based rifle-smith they could recommend; perhaps someone who specializes in the Ruger #1. Many Thanks!

Indeed! Thanks again to all for the sage advice!

Well, I just "pulled the trigger" (pun intended) on the Guide Gun in 375. I'll post an update for the good of the order when I have it and have a chance to run some rounds through it. Thanks to all for all the input!

Thanks I did see those. I'm leaning more toward the guide gun now. They're not much more than what these folks are asking.

My own experience with brakes in a .338 win mag and a .340 weatherby have been less than positive. Deafening report and both had 26" barrels. I can only imagine what that .375 Ruger would be like. I'll stick with the unbraked barrel weight, I think.

Thanks -- excellent review. That's the kind of information I was seeking. My only concern now is with reports of stock splitting and feeding issues. Though I understand Ruger's customer service is very good should I have any problems.

Thanks! If I pickup a 20" gun I'll experiment with some different loads and see what I can wring out of it. They're inexpensive enough for what you seem to be getting. I could always just have it rebarreled if the velocity turns out to be lacking. But from what I've read elsewhere, it seems...

Hi Velo Dog! I see you're a bit of a traditionalist, as am I for the most part. I'm a classic cartridge man myself. I own or have owned rifles chambered in 375 H&H, 300 H&H, 7x57, 7x75R, 6.5x54 MS, etc. I recently sold a friend on the idea of a 9.3x62 in the form of a CZ 550fs as he was...

As I parse through AH I see there has been quite a bit written about the guide gun. I think I'm sold. Problem solved. Many thanks!

Well, ActionBob, I should have done a bit of research -- I could have answered my own questions. My apologies. It appears Ruger supplies the Guide Gun with three muzzle attachment options: 1) the brake, 2) a muzzle weight (similar to the CR body of the Browning A-bolt) with no brake, and a...
