I found it interesting that the amount of discussion on the 375 Ruger is totally out of propotion for a bore size which at best is at the very small end of the market. Perhaps we all have a bit of fantasy about us in that the 375 bore size is about as big as we can go and still have 30/06 type velocities or greater. However, as best I can remember the 375 RUM did not generate much discussion. Could be it was "Remington" or perhaps because it was/is not seen as a direct competitor to the 375 H&H. The 375 Wby has also had some long and furious threads run and perhaps because like the 375 Ruger it is seen as a direct competitor to the 375 H&H. Mike | ||

Actually I think a lot of the 'fury' on those threads was caused by (i) false marketing hype (250 fps more velocity at the same pressure ![]() | |||

There he goes again, exhibiting typical extended-pinky-finger thinking about social acceptance, when that is not at all a thing worrying a .375 Ruger fan, or a .375 Wby fan, or a .378 Wby fan. ![]() | |||

Ron, I am not sure you are right. The 378 Wby fan is not only a social outcast but puts the fact up in neon signs ![]() But I think a few of the 375 Ruger boys are a bit upset that it comes in the el cheapo rifle and JJs response from Ruger does not help ![]() Remember that JJs response from Ruger said the 375 Ruger was for the working man and of course the H&H is reserved for those who can buy the better Ruger. ![]() Mike | |||

Ah, but the .375 Ruger is a better rifle than the RSM .375 H&H, so the Hawkeye needs no excuses. At least it has a recoil lug made integral to the action. It is 7.75 pounds of balanced lightning. The .375 H&H RSM is 10 pounds of lumbering, extended pinky finger hoity-toity and "recoil plate." | |||

Ron One of the great things about being in the Wby whorehouse of rifles and calibres is that you just sit on the sidelines with this sort of stuff ![]() By the way, is the Hawkeye Rugers new rifle that has a range of calibres which of course includes the 375 Ruger. | |||

Yep, 14 different chamberings so far, IIRC, but the only "special" one putting on airs is the African in walnut. The rest are basically M77MkII's with a better trigger and a Sturm Ruger logo on the floorplate, a Phoenix rising from the ashes, or a Hank Williams, Jr. sign of endorsement. ![]() The Alaskan will be less uppity in .375 Ruger, blackened stainless (hopefully) and synthetic stock with a trashy 20" barrel. ![]() | |||

The 375 R will find its home in NA. In this time of kevlar hide NA big game animals the 338 has become enemic and the 375 H&H is sort of out of the price range of the average hunter. For the big Bears and moose I think it will be popular. A nice little rifle for those who can't stand up to the 45-70 ![]() | |||
