bwana cecilLH Ruger Question
Does anyone know the difference between a Ruger HM77LRS & a HM77LRSB in 375 Rug?
There are only 3 things different on the info I have found.
The LRS will hold 4 rounds in the magazine, is 43" over all length & stainless steel
The LRSB holds 3 rounds in the magazine, is 43.5"OAL & blue.
Need opinions.
I have found both of these & am not sure which one I want.

Incorrect. Both versions have a magazine capacity of THREE. Both model numbers indicate BLUED finishes. The stainless version is HKM77LRS -- there is always a "K" in the model designation for Ruger indicating stainless finish.
The two models you've quoted only differ in the addition of that stupid muzzle brake, hence the "B" suffix.

Thanks for the info.
I went on a wholesalers web-site & printed off the description of both rifles, that's the info provided, but something didn't feel right so thought I would ask here.

Miles MasseyCDNN's current catalog advertises the stainless non-braked versions for $700 each with either a 20-inch or 23-inch barrel on page 19.

TXpitdogJust for further clarification I called CDNN, and the 20" is the stainless "Alaskan", but the 23" model theyadvertise is aactually the African. Wish they'd make a 23" stainless, but I'm plenty happy with my Alaskan model.
