I made a post a while back debating between the 375 and 416 ruger. I have settled on the 416 ruger for the caliber however I have decided to steer away from the ruger rifle. I was planning to get the Alaskan version and replace the stock and have it cerakoted then I found out they use a super odd barrel thread pattern. I decided by the time I do all that I could just build a rifle.
I know there is an age old debate between CRF and PF actions. I have decided to stick with Push feed because it’s what I’m used to, the option to use a detachable mag more easily and the ability to single feed without pushing the round into the magazine for pickup.
I was just wondering if anyone else has done a more modern take on a dangerous game rifle. I plan to use a weatherby 307 long action with a magnum bolt face, I’m debating between a McMillan safari pattern stock or a peak 44 sawtooth stock, 20” bartlein barrel with 5r rifling. I will add a couple of quick detach non rotating sling points on either stock, muzzle brake and suppressor.
The uses will be hunting taking it to Alaska for a bear gun, American Bison and Cape buffalo. I am just looking for photos and inspiration from anyone else who has built a modernized dangerous game rifle. Thanks!
