Guys,

Believe it or not I like the Hogue stocks. Have not bought one, but have "inherited" two. Both are the pillar rather than the full bed stocks. Both work well with lighter bore rifles (.270 and .264 Win Mag) but seem to have issues when recoil increases.

I think they are too flexible and change shape under hard recoil. Best evidence I have of that is performance of a .376/.416 Steyr Improved. Rifle is a tack driver with 400 gr cast bullets at 1600 fps, but is shooting 3-4" groups with jacketed bullets at real velocities. Same ammo works fine in a stiffer stock.

Was wondering how the full bed stock is performing in the .375 and .416 Ruger Alaskan rifles. Any experience?

Thanks!

i've got he pillar bedded one on a 500 AR . it DOES move .. but still shoots fairly well

When Ruger had the recall on the Hogue stocks used on the early .375 Alaskans, I had Hogue replace my stock with a full length bed stock in OD Green. I paid the difference in price between the pillar bed stock and the full length to get the full bed. Going to the full bed stock cut average group size from just over an inch to about 3/4 in at 50 yards with open sights off the bench. YMMV

Which one of the Hogue full length bedding block stocks fits the M77 in 375 Ruger?

Is it the Long Action Heavy Barrel one?

I have been thinking of replacing mine the full bed block -type.
