For your enjoyment- The NEW KING with a wide selection of bullets, bookended by .458's. I'm glad he listed all the bullets!

There is a webpage I'm on that is mostly African resident hunters with their .375 Ruger chambered rifles. They hunt lots there, and use a wide assortment of rifles in 375 Ruger. They seem less concerned about the brand name and more concerned about what works for them. And like us, they have all sorts of budgets, so it's nice to have such a wide variety of 375 Ruger rifles. This South African hunter just recieved a Nosler 48 Outfitter, and he notes that he also picked up some brass for 980 Rand ($95 Can) so they pay a bit more for brass than us, but not lots more.

Now you've done it. The hordes of "noise definition Nazi's" will be around shortly to educate you. I made that same "mistake" the other day.

Yeah, whatever. Silencer, suppressor....IIRC Suputin here on CGN (who does some work with these devices) said both terms have been in use for a very long time and both are correct. We could always call it a CAN, too. :)

Just never really cared for laminates. Nothing wrong with the stock really. It's OK and Ruger did a great job on the Hawkeye ergos, IMO. For my uses, I prefer a good quality synthetic and the McM MKII Classic is a great pattern.

I'm with you on that. I actually think most laminates look pretty good and they are certainly functional, but they always felt a little clubby to me compared to a good quality synthetic. I would probably take a laminate over a tupperware stock though.

I actually really like the M77 Hawkeye stock's ergonomics. A lot. I really think Ruger nailed it, especially compared to the MII stocks. They are slim, great handling stocks, for me. But yeah, lots of laminates out there are pretty clubby and klunky. Agreed though, no comparison between the Ruger laminates and a normal factory tupperware!

When I had my LH 375 Ruger imported (with Phil and another fine fellow from BC on 24HCF, but Phil doesn't know it ;) ), I fully intended to order a McM for it, but just liked how this one worked and never got around to. The McMs are great, I own a few, but the way our dollar is these days I'll just wait patiently for the 375 to get her upgrade...

Hey, for a newbie here...why swap out the stock stock? What are the practical advantages of laying down an extra $500 +/- ???

years ago when I picked up the RH King, I replaced the Hogue, which I found too grippy and sticky, and potentially a weakpoint in the rifle as it's just an injection moulded plastic shell glued together, with the McMillan. Years later I went to my LH King and wanted an exact copy of my RH rifle as I loved it
