Wow ! 64 % for the model 70 currently. I rather thought the ruger might have more support. | |||

Why not a CZ? Peter. Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong; | |||

the model 70 safari Express is a great rifle right out of the box. I'd also agree with Peter. Look at a CZ. Rusty We Band of Brothers! DRSS, NRA & SCI Life Member "I am rejoiced at my fate.

I just purchased the Ruger M77 RSM MKII in 458 Lott after years of contemplation. The Ruger is a fine rifle right out of the box, but somewhat cashy. For the money, the CZs are very hard to beat. Just my $0.03 worth. Best regards, starcharvski | |||

Wouldn't it depend on how well each gun fits you? My choice was easy, I wanted a CRF DG rifle and I'm left handed so that means Winchester.

Thats a good point. The reason I overlook the CZ is two fold. Firstly I want to add a McMillian stock. secondly I have small hands so the it seems a bit bulky. I do really like the look of the Ruger. I can get one with tax for about $1300. The winny is about $1,000. Plus it has the availability of a stock but I always wonder if I'm trying to be a bit to frugal and if I should wait and spend more $$$. I have NEVER been so conflicted about buying a gun in my life. | |||

I think the decision is easy if you compare all three rifles side by side. I choose the Ruger because it had the best feel and fit and looked to have the best workmanship. Don't short your self by buying the lowest price. You get what you pay for. It is also very accurate right out of the box. CHEERS | |||

I have big hands and the Ruger still seems too big, at least in 375. I vote for M70 even knowing that it will probably need enough work and cost more than the Ruger. If I wanted a big gun the Ruger would be my choice, without a doubt. | |||

Why not buy two or three and play with them. too hard to pick just one gun Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum | |||

I voted for the Model 70 even though I own a Ruger. It's just that the Ruger frame is so big for something as "light" (comparativly) as the .375. Had you been seeking something bigger, say a .416, either Rigby or Remington, I would give the edge to the large-framed Ruger .416 Rigby over the "little" Model 70 in .416 Remington. That's my opinion. Now take it to Starbucks along with $2 and buy a cup of coffee. | |||
