I think I got the last one in Western Pennsylvania.
I thought the .416 was trim and compact, the .375 feels like I'm carrying one of my lever action carbines.
Now all I have to find is another .416 to convert to .458 Ruger.

Those certainly are handy looking rifles. I've had my eyes peeled for one at the right price for a while. Seem to be scarce up here in CT. The debate in my head is always one of which caliber.

love my ruger alaskan 375r, wouldn't part with it. wears a 2-7 vx3 and takes care of all oz game with ease. the new versions, well , look like shat, i won't be buying one thats for sure. bring back the alaskan.....................458 version, sound sweet

As far as the new version,I would buy one if;
It was brought out in 416 and to defer the cost
Cutting off the muzzle brake (I don't care if
it has a cap) and new hogue replacement stock,
I would pay around 500.00 for it new.
Then I would buy one.
I would not be surprised to see them on CDNN within
a year.

Nice pair of rifles

There is one on gunsamerica right now for $1,100.00 Seems kind of steep to me.

I paid under 900 out the door for both of mine.

I would buy a new model and outfit it myself, just
out of principal before I paid an inflated price
like that.

Exactly my thought.

I bought one NIB about 6 months ago for $750. Should have kept it. I was quite surprised with its handling, accuracy, and fit & finish. Compact little powerhouse. PM JudgeG...he has one...maybe he's tired of it by now.
