I wondering if there are any 375 alaskan's in canada yet other than gatehouses. The african models are available.I'm trying to find an alaskan, hopefully under $3500;)

Thanks
 
My friend Canuck from AR purchased an African form WSS, maybe they have some?

Undoubtably, there is a long waiting list for those that wish to purchase either model, chambered in the MIGHTY 375 Ruger the NEW KING of the 375 caliber cartridges.:evil:

Hope y like yours as much as I like mine!!:)

The NEW KING, and current MIGHTY POPULAR CGN cartridge ....... Everybody wants one.

This lineup was recently seen somewhere in BC waiting for their 375 Ruger. :rockOn:

It's also rumoured that the fellow, third from the right, wears a pink tutu. :bigHug:

Just razzin ya Gatehouse. I think a hatfull of 760 should be the ticket in that one. I foregot to mention the STW is shooting bugholes with fireforming loads. Hope its as good with full power stuff.

Not quite ...... I just this week sent an action out your way for a 22" stainless bbl in 375/338. :rockOn:

What all is involved to complete that project?? Just a barrel swap, or are other mods needed? I have a .338 that may go that way someday, cuz you know I NEED one in Ontario.:cool::D

Barrel swap only. It's on a long 700 action. Custom dies are the biggest hassle.

The 375/338 is a good one for a 98 Mauser as it is shorter than the H&H, so mods require to the action are minimal. I had one before on a 98 action and a Ruger #1 (375H&H) bbl cut off and rethreaded and chambered. It was a good combo. I should have kept it. :rolleyes:

A good reason to go with the .375 Ruger, standard action with dies available.:), but maybe no reamers yet...

I'm using a standard action and dies are available. CH sells dies for $72.45US, and 338 brass is easy to get. It doesn't give the same velocities as the Ruger, but it does equal the H&H, besides I'm too wimpy to shoot the KING OF THE 375s anyways. ;)

Last I checked, Redding stocks 375 338 dies.

SO you are using a factory wood stock? how about iron sights? Or clean barrel?

I got my RCBS dies on the EE for under $100.

I have one of those old ugly B&C fiberglass stocks here. It's the one with the integrated sling loops in the stock. UGLY ---> yes, but it has a nice big fat butt and wide/straight comb. It will be a very good stock for a 375. I plan on changing the recoil pad and trying a 1" Limbsaver for a change.

For the time being, I don't have plans for iron sights, but that may change in the next couple of weeks. Any suggestions? I'd like to at least have a front sight on it for no other reason that it looks right. I have two Leupold VXIIIs here. One 1.5x5 and another 1.75x6. Both matte. I haven't decided which to use.
