Naw, I don't need one. Personally I prefer the longer shells of the Rigby and Remington. A short action DGR does not appeal to me. Too, I wish that Ruger could find the guy that knows how to blue bolt handles. I really miss him.

I guess a 416 Ruger better have good wood and cross bolts.I see alot of the 375 Rugers are busting their stocks.I have shot my model 70 416 Rem mag over 2000 times so far without a problem except a small piece that blew off the bolt.I will have to have an awesome stock to hold the 416 Ruger. I think the 416 Ruger alot better than the 416 Rem mag ,416 Rigby or 416 taylor.It will fit in almost any standard length action .I hope Ruger brings it out.I guess they have to sell alot more 375 Rugers and get better stocks.Bill Ruger liked this caliber and they built him one he just didnt live long enough to see it produced.

I'll stick with my M70 three-seven-five. Happiness is not having what you want, but wanting what you have.

We appear to have reached the stage where every conceivable usage has at least three possible factory chamberings available for it. If I were to purchase a .416 calibre rifle, it would be for Cape Buffalo in Africa. I would choose the .416 Rigby for two reasons. Firstly, it is a tapered cartridge, and therefore provides a margin of error in extraction. Secondly, it is a "classic" cartridge hailing from the glory days of African hunting.

I recognize that the first reason is of marginal practical importance, and the second reason is purely a romantic, emotional response. Still, with the available 416 calibre cartridges providing very similar performance, slender preferences make the difference.

However, if time were drawing short, and my preferred chambering were unavailable, I would take one of the others in a heartbeat if the "must have" rifle presented itself.

No.

On second thought, HELL NO.

I'm pretty confident that no matter how drunk I get, I would not be inclined to say yes. I wouldn't lower my standards to buy anything with the word ruger on it.

There, I hope I've answered your inane question.

I know I should not say this but here goes. Ruger is the most sucessful fire arms company in America and maybe the world for that matter. I wish they had chosen to chamber their .375 Ruger on the express rifle format as that format will turn out to be their finest rifles ever made. Happy New Year to All. Dr.C

YES!!

I'm not a snob and have had excellent results with the 375 Ruger Hawkeye so far. It is a wonderful gun for the price. So what if a good and innovative gunmaker wants to sell product?!?
I have rifles of "pedigree", but none are nicer feeling in the hand than the Hawkeye African, and it shoots just fine; operates sliker'n snot.

How the hell do you think these companies survive? There must be a lot of nosebleeders here...with them so high in the air.

No. Another not useful cartridge, one not designed to improve on what we have, but to sell more rifles and ammo.

Might consider the fact that when you hand your gun over yo the airlines that you can replace it with little cost and no emotional trauma. The ruger will fit that bill nicely. Spend your money on hunts not guns if you have to make the choice.

NO! My rigby is just fine! no short ugly fireplug round will replace it.
