My new gun

375 Ruger on a Browning BLR - custom built my The Varmit Shop in Pennsylvania.

Can't wait to shoot it.

Very nice.

I saw a video linked a few years ago where someone had done this and I think the .416 Ruger as well.

I really like my 375 Ruger and will be using it this year for Elk if I am drawn.

Holy thumper! What's she weigh? Mag capacity?
Looks like a mighty handy package to deliver some very quick whallops.

My guess in weight is 8-9 pounds - it is a solid gun.

2 in the mag and one in the chamber - 3 in all.

I am fishing in panama - will shoot it when get back and weight it.

Shot it today after my gunsmith scoped it (zeiss duralyt).

Recoil easy.

Shoots good - 2 Moa or better.

Function - needs some work. Using 300 win mag for 375 ruger - better than 7 mm mag but not perfect.

Taking it to Africa in 3 days. Fine for plainsgame but not for dg till function/mag issues worked out.

I am shooting impala amd maybe a bush pig if I get lucky. So it is fine.
