375 Ruger

I also notice that the Hornady QC could be improved - the new cases run a large spread of case length - last I checked a batch, I think it ran .008" spread. My solution is to just trim them all so I can get consistent bullet seating.

On the other hand, I recently bought a bag of 500 .308WIN brass made by Barnes - .001" spread between the dozen I measured. I gave up measuring and just chamfered and loaded!
 
I bought a barely used 2014 .375 Ruger Guide Gun last year. Handles well, smooth action and shoots very well with open sights. Need a scope for it and eventually a .416 Ruger Guide Gun. They are great rifles.
 
Ruger safety is very safe, but not the best for a DG rifle. A tang safety is a better choice there. Practice with it a lot. I know of one PH who had an issue with his Ruger safety when a buff charged and ended up in the hospital. He has since removed it.
Am curious about the Ruger safety issue and a PH, in a tight spot. Agree with many other experienced hunters, that the Ruger 3 position safety, is not as ergonomic, as the Model 70 Winchester safety.
Can you share some more details?
