FN 375 with a Hogue

Hogue fits fine and has a recoil pad.

Is that built specifically for the FN, or is it a take off from another rifle that just fits? It looks like there is a Ruger emblem in the bottom of the pistol grip

From the photo the wood stock, which I still have, looks identical to my Sako 375 H&H that was built on a lengthened FN Supreme action in 1953. I put a Bell & Carlson stock on it many years ago and had Simmons Guns in Olathe, Ks. improve the chamber to 375 Weatherby. at least 25 years ago. I'm taking it to Alaska in about 10 days for a brown and black bear hunt. It's been a good rifle. I don't keep 'em long if they aren't good.

BC is like diamonds, holding value forever.

Just me, but I sure like that wood stock better. Call me traditional or behind the times. Wood just turns me on.

Yes, this stock model is the earliest of three versions of SAKO High Power stocks. My hand doesn't like it's short and steep pistol grip. Next version has more gentle pistol grip and the latest one is a kind of semi-Monte Carlo stock.

My .30-06 SAKO Mauser has similar Hoque stock but with pillars only.
