I have the chance to purchase a nice gun in .338 Win. mag, but do not need that caliber. My question is. Can this same action be used for a .375 Ruger or a .416/.375 Ruger? I wish to only re-barrel and go, but not sure about the bolt face and magazine accepting the cartridge??? | ||

The bolt face and magazine length are no problems. It may take a little tweaking of the feed lips/rails because the ruger cartridge is a little fatter through the shoulder but the rest of the gun should be good to go.

My Ruger 77 mk 2 338 actions fed 375 ruger factory ammo perfectly .... .If it can,t be grown , its gotta be mined .... | |||

you can just rebarrel and go if you check the feeding first before you do the rebarrel.

I would say probably...I just built one on a 98 Mauser in .416 Ruger and had to do some magazine work on it..Dennis Olson did the metal work and I made the stock. I was told if I wanted a drop box that a .338 box would work but I opted for the std Mauser bottom metal..It feeds 110%...
