.375 purchase assistance required

That's easy...just make it a rimfire cartridge/case! No primer taking up space in the middle, lots of room for letters, numbers...hell, they could probably fit some advertising copy in there.

Wouldn't appeal to serious shooters, I admit...but how many of those actually buy the .375Ruger anyway? :)

Edited to add: Johnn, I just noticed your new avatar pic...very nice, and a very nice tribute as well.

:)Thanks. A momento from my visit with him in the 70's.

You will want to be buying a 375 H&H because the Ruger 3/8" offering will soon be dead, relegated to it's place beside the 375 Wby, 8mm RM, Mr. Newton's cartridges and the shortest lived of all the 30-03.................:p:p;);)


Gate.........I was worried about you, thought maybe you weren't feeling good............but I see you're back to your old self.

Buy a cz in 375 hurt and holler... It'll be a good gun. I've always seen 375 h&h ammo in stock at calgary and lethbridge wholesale sports, however I've only seen 375 ruger once in the last 2 years. I asked about it, and was told they just don't stock it because of lack of demand...
 
The lure of the 375 Ruger is the price of rifles chambered in it. Ruger's prices went up $200 on their website this year. A Sako isn't as much more now, making the Ruger less attractive.
 
Sounds like the .375 Ruger may eventually replace the H&H if it performs as well in the real world, including feeding smoothness, pressures and reliability. I fell in love with the .375 H&H: it's a big cartridge I can still shoot in relative comfort.

Lickily, rifle makers discovered how to make cartridges feed many years ago!! Otherwise no cartridge other than the H&Hs or the 40-30 or 303 or similar would ever be considered "smooth feeding"

Heck, the 9.3x62 would be considered a jam o matic!

You're like a Toronto Maple Leafs fan with that dang Ruger.

And with equal merit...

The .375 Ruger ain't that old, but it would go something like this;

"Back in '67, I leaned my .375 Ruger rifle against the cabin wall, but she got knocked over and the dang thing went OFF!!! But, if you can believe it... she done kilt a moose that happened to be walking by at just that moment... she ain't kilt nothin' since..."

Something like that...

IIRC except for storied difficulties with the ultra-modern WSM and WSSM and SAUM and others of their ilk...

I have very little faith in corporate progress. Witness the 9422, Model 61, Model 52, Browning Safari, Sako AV, Belgian Mausers, and many others. Witness Marlin's transition - they figured out how to build the same rifle over a century ago!

Hell, witness most versions of MS Windows for that matter. Corporate decision - making doesn't always depend on doing something right. Even if their engineering departments are the brightest on the planet, they can still mess things up royally.

Get the 375 Ruger! I did and haven't regretted it yet matter of fact I had 2 rifles chambered in it for a while so my friends could use it!

Naaa. I went a more positive route and the choice was a model 70 Winchester Super Express in 375 H&H.



No regrets. There's one other 375 I'd like to acquire, but it definately isn't the 375 ruger.
