.375 Ruger beats the H&H. Are you concerned about ammo availability? Weatherby? Any of the .416s above the Hoffman should have a bit more reach/power.

SkullKeeper - since you have taken so much of my money in the past and we have become acquainted, when I saw your thumbs up on it, I punched off the round.

I will take this rifle, Sir!

Has the CDS dial been used?

Your PH is probably not going to give you a shot past 100 yards anyway. Sure, longer shots may pop up, but my one trip experience was in Limpopo and nearly every shot was under/at 100 yards. Your concern for learning/applying limits is awesome. BZ to you! Is your PH going to have 4-legged...

My Good Man - Your cartridge was SAAMI spec'ed by A-Square, so it does not qualify technically as a wildcat. However, you may be challenged finding ammo. I was taking a .35 Whelen Ackley Improved as my plains game rifle. Kissing cousin to your .338-06. A 50 round practice session heated it to...

You need both. The 7mm-08/.308/.30-06 bolt gun will be good for training and cheaper for training. You need the .375 to go DG hunting. I would opt for .30-06 - the game in Africa seems tougher by 3 than the game in the States. If you are clever, seek out a .30 rifle that is identical to the...

I am working on it's little brother - .495 A-Square - just have to trim little.

Did I miss the price and chambering? What is an AV model?

Very nice - just a little early for me...

I will take them.

Model - Ruger Alaskan Decided on purchase - 9 months out from my safari, I had just shot my scout scope mount loose on my 35WAI Mauser. I decided to try Guns.com and see what they had. Having been reading Boddington daily to prep/learn for the safari, I was aware of his praise for the .375...

I think it is quite thoughtful to pay it forward for another guy. It is just a long ways from MO!

The day we came out of the hunting concession, the PH instructed us to put all people and luggage into the Nissan bread box van, rifles, trophy skinner, tracker and PH in the Bakkie. As we started out, the PH realized he had forgotten something, and returned to the concession, splitting us up by...

I assume you want some money for this?

"Don't do it, Luke! Use the Force!"

They are refusing to make cases available for reloading. All of their production is going into loaded ammo only, to gain more profit. Allegedly, shortages of materials and workers due to covid was why they couldn't keep up with demand - after three years, I believe those excuses to be...

I will take it.

Buy your lifetime supply of cases for the .375 Ruger NOW by buying all of the Hornady Dangerous Game ammo you can find. Hornady has not made cases for reloading in three years.

No decision to be made - Hornady already decided for you by refusing to make any .416 Ruger ammo or cases for 2+ years. They have pretty much killed the cartridge.

I bet he trimmed and sized down .30-06 cases from Lake City.

I have owned four .375 Rugers at the same time, and still have a pair of them. I have adequate brass to deal with Hornady's betrayal of the hunter's who bought the new rifle/cartridge and they then refuse to make cases for .375 Ruger. I have hunted with the Ruger Alaskan for three years (deer)...

This is a great scope - took it on my plains game safari mounted on my Ruger Alaskan in .375 Ruger. It survived a roll-over wreck on the highway of the PH's bakkie, and held zero. The firedot is GREAT! It also is not a brick for weight. Whoever gets this will be quite pleased with it's performance!

Boy, that looks like a useful scope! I am broke though. : ( Bet it doesn't last long!

It is barreled, I have 500 pieces of brass. I am 1/2" from having the action inletted AFTER paying Wenig $300 to inlet a blank! I do not have a climate controlled shop, so that slows things down a great deal. Need to weld up the duck pond - have the plug. Plains game safari in 2021 kinda slowed...

My experience with the Hogue stocks has been great. They flex a little when you fire and this absorbs some of the recoil. The "stickiness" of the overmold helps you grip and also attentuates recoil. At one point I had a laminate stocked .375 Ruger and the recoil ws noticeably stiffer than the...

OK - I will try and earn some extra money this month on side hustles to get you paid, but let's plan on the beginning of FEB as the official date to send the check to you. These will do splendidly for my .358WIN!!!!!!!!!

Just don't have the $ for these ones - tapped out. : (

I appreciate the candor of your post.

Excellent! Perfect use for it! Appreciate you sharing that!

Yes they do! My Whelen AI is salivating already!

I will take them, Sir!

My VX5HD 1-5x24 went through the plane ride to RSA, then a 10 day hunt, then was bounced down a highway when the PH rolled the Bakkie coming out of the hunting area, then the trip back to the states - it never lost zero.

What a great gift! You, my friend, have scored nicely!

Buffalo Bore loads the ammo also. In 2021, theirs was $125 for a box of 20 rounds of Barnes 270gr TSX.

Because Hornady will only make ammo - no brass for reloading - you will have to find someone willing to part with cases - tough to do - or pay $65 and up for 20 rounds via AmmoSeek.com. This is the shortcoming on "better, new cartridges". Hornady is too busy bringing out the latest one (1, 2...

Great score! Currently out of stock on their site, and it lists for $700 MSRP, PLUS shipping!

Aero Precision AR-10 in .308WIN for close to medium range work.

Figures - they tried to take my single .375 Ruger last time!

Glad I could help a brother out, Ruraldoc!

Spelling correct - I hate that shit! FireDOTS, not fireDOGS!

I have two .375 Ruger Alaskans - yes, a brace! One sports the VX5 3-15x44. One sports the VX5 1-5x24. Both have firedogs and the etched elevation cap for my choreographed load. Boddington posited the idea of two identical guns so equipped - either would do anything needed in Africa at least...

I will take it, Sir!

OH - you are killing me! Great scope!

I have a VX6HD 1-6x24 back at Leupold right now - the fire dot quit. They have had it about three weeks, and have told me it will be another month before they get to it. I had a Client's VX2 2-7x33 break a reticle wire - when sent back, they replaced it in a few weeks.

I had a Client's VX2 2-7x33 pop it's cross hair when we tried to crack the eye focus ring loose. They sent him a new VX-Freedom, no questions asked. My VX6 1-6x24 just had the firedog "burn out" - the scope is back in OR getting fixed now, no questions asked. Those are the only two I have run...

Sold pending funds.

Sold pending funds.

RHoward & Mully - I am sorry - I forgot to add in the detail of the reticle. It IS the highly desirable HEAVY DUPLEX! The pics show the little ding to the cap. I dunno - maybe I should just keep this for myself...

This is an early production rifle with Ruger's black cerrocoating over the stainless steel. No hearing destroyer (muzzle brake). New price on the Ruger site is currently $1,619. I must trim the herd of three .375 Rugers down to a brace of .375 Rugers. This will help cover my Black Friday buy of...
