The Hogue is not a high-end stock that you would mount on a precision rifle, agreed. It is one of the most comfortable, well-fitting stocks I've ever used, and it comes with an excellent recoil pad. I have one with the full-length bedding block option on one of my guns and I love it.

And don't forget, we're not talking precision long-range shooting here...on a 50-yard gun like a .375 Ruger, the cheaper-model Hogue is perfect. :)

The Hogue isn't the problem, the Guide Gun, which is Ruger's new version of the late great Alaskan, comes with an intensely ugly laminated stock, that's the problem.

Details on the Schoville?

The .375 Scovill is a 9.3X62 expanded to .375X62. I expect performance to be on par with the 9.3X62. Mine will be built on a 700 Remington, and will be part of a switch barrel package, which will start with: a 22" .375 Scovill, a 24".280 Ackley, and the lowly .243 Winchester also with a 24" barrel. I expect others to follow. These will all be #3 contour barrels and the stock will be Wildcat Composites Ultralight.

It's Scovill

I believe you're correct, at least that's how its spelt in the Barnes manual, but a short Google search will produce several spelling possibilities.
 
As Boomer said, we are discussing the new laminate they are using. The Hogue stocks work fine for many people and many like them, probably more than dislike them. I put a Macmiollan on mine of course, as I wasn't a fan of the Hogue. The old laminate on the left guns was fine, don't know why they didn't use a RH version instead of the Guide Gun. Or a decent fiberglass stock, as I mentioned.
 
I was taking a good look at the 375 Scovill after reading Dave Scovill's article in Handloader several years ago. It was when I wasn't happy with my 375 H&H and desired a shorter, handier version, similar to Boomers 375 RUM. In the end I decided that I really didn't want to play with another wildcat, so the 375 Weatherby would be the choice and I bought a WIn Mdl 70 stainless for it's action. When I was about to start shopping for barrel, stock, good iron sights and any other parts I felt I needed, the NEW KING was announced. I saw the rifle I wanted already built on a CRF action, with good sturdy irons and a synthetic stock that was easy to replace if I wanted to.
I bought one of the first Alaskans to hit Canada and sold the WInchester. :)

Still, I do like the cartridges based off of 30-06/9.3x62 style cases and I could see owning one of the Hawk/Scovill cartridges, possibly in a 1895 Winchester.

I sincerely hope it works better for you than my experience with it,
Somewhere in my hoard is half a box, the first few out of the box blew holes through the primer and were extremely difficult to extract, also wouldn't hold a fresh primer after sizing and trimming.
Actually etched the bolt face on my Ruger..

Hornady OVERLOADED there factory 375 Ruger ammo HOPING to keep up to the Velocity of mildly loaded 375 H&H ! The etched bolt face is due to the Poor Quality of the metal used in those Ruger rifles ! ;) :) Cheers RJ

As usual, utter nonsense.

Considering that Kevan has reported his rifle was problematic, and he is the only person I have seen report stuff like this , I think it's a rifle problem. Kevan had lots of rifle brass and ammo issues. Stands to reason they are relAted.

I'm familiar with the cartridge, I was just wondering about the rifle you were building.
Have to admit, I wasn't expecting a switch barrel 700. :)
