Sorry, I was too vague. It had no problem in the oomph department, but I just didn't like the stock fit and ergonomics. Thats what I meant by underwhelmed. Should have clarified. I just am commenting on the fit of rugers in general for me. Either the H & H or the Ruger have more than enough mustard for 98% of the worlds game. At this level , for me, its all about fit and finish. Its more important to get the one that fits. I haven't held a .375 H & H in my hands yet, in which I liked the RIFLE and how it shouldered. It all came together in a big way for me when I put this Ruger up and imagined big aszed hairy beasts goin down.
