Just picked up a Ruger Magnum .375 for a very good price from a fellow board member Guy Kish). What is the general opinion of these as an actual DGR? It`s a beautiful rifle, absolutely as new in box, with a Leupold 1-4x scope. Don`t think I could go wrong for $850.
Thanks, Rob

It may be annoying to have this clown imitate you, but it IS one more "vote" for the .416 Rigby!

Actually, I have never seen a buffalo before and I don't own anything larger than a .22 but if I were to hunt a buffalo and I did own a real gun, it would be a .416. I hope that helps.
I think the Rugers are the best buy to come down the Pike in years, They have it all including that wonderfull intregral quarter rib that would cost the price of a Ruger Rifle if you ordered one direct from a barrel maker. The needed control feed, the M-70 safty, barrel band swivel, barrel band front sight, Circasion walnut stock, and all this is done in tasteful English styling.
I don't know how any factory rifle could be better and still sell at that price.
Sure it may need a little tweeking, but so do a LOT of custom rifles to get all the bugs out.

I traded emails with Guy Kish on this rifle. I had reservations about buying a rifle sight unseen (no slight to Guy Kish, I don't know him). I'm pleased to hear it worked out so well for you. That is a great price! My loss for being so risk averse!
