The 375 Ruger

[Thunderhog]

The 375 Ruger is still the King…

There are plenty of reasons why. It was designed to be shot in a standard 30-06 type length action. It has no belt on the case, can be 100 feet per second faster than the 375 H&H, and has spawned many a children from its parent case. It also can produce 375 H&H performance with a 20” barrel.

The 300 PRC, 7mm PRC, 300 Ruger Compact Magnum, and the 338 Ruger Compact Magnum, are kids from the 375 Ruger. I believe the 416 Ruger is a blown up 375 Ruger case as well.

Recoil is manageable, although one can definitely feel it! LOL…

I like the 375 Ruger, one never knows when it might be needed against the evil forces of nature….

I Always had a 375 H&H and had a 416 Taylor BUT There is absolutely nothing wrong with a modern 375 Ruger or a 416 Ruger to replace the OLD design .

I was always going to get a 375 H&H Jim. I fired a few of them when I was a hunting guide. The recoil on the H&H was more of a big push than a thump....... LOL

However the 375 Ruger really has a wallop behind it.

I tried my big-girl panties, but ended up with a real nice KS Arms gill brake. Now she recoils like a 30-06.

I'm not a fan of harsh recoil as I get older, however one needs a thumper to stop the evil attacks that nature can produce.

Mine was a R 700 XCR 11 Std bdl with Syn stock so not heavy - less HARSH kick then a 300 Win mag but a but more push !

The 700 is a good action for the 375. Lots of room in there. I had a couple over the years.

I have the .375 and .416 Rugers and Like them both a lot.
I've had 375 H&H. Hunted with it and enjoyed it also.
I've shot all of them with factory (to get the brass) and handloads.
Hunted deer last fall with the .375 Ruger but failed to connect. I'm sure it would have done the job.

Can't argue with that. They definitely have the cool factor.
