The Mighty 375 Ruger gets a Facelift!

Which part?
Those Rugers look alot like a M98. Nice sights on a short bbl all in stainless. Even I would say that's a nice looking rifle.
As far as the CT goes, it was built on the cheep and looks it. Works good, but kinda ugly.

The ruger .375 "Iranian". How well does the barrel channel fit that contour? Looks awesome. Don't change the scope x2.
It's a 1.5-5x20 Vari X III
I will probably swap it to a 2.5-8x36, to take advantage of this rifles accuracy and longer range potential, while still keeping the scope compact and keeping a low magnification setting available.

Boomer I agree and disagree I'm thinking a 2.5-8X with a Boone & Crockett reticle would be very good for reaching out with this cartridge...
It does need all the help it can get...
Big game is not difficult to see, after all it is big, so while I like the 2.5-8X on a full sized rifle, on a carbine length rifle I don't see it as an advantage. The advantage of the glass sight is that the target and aiming point are on the same focal plane, and magnification is a secondary concern which changes with circumstances.
Depends how I like the 2.5x8. I use that scope on 3 other rifles. I will certainly use the 2.5-8 for load development.
The nice thing about the 1.5 is that you pop the butt up to your shoulder and the target is THERE.
Nice thing about the 2.5-8 is a little extra definition at longer ranges. It was taking me a bit longer than I wanted to aquire a good sight picture of my 8" diameter gong at 350 yards with the 1.5-5.
5X is probably fine for 400 yard moose shooting, though. Nice thing about this rifle/cartridge combination is that it is equally at home taking a long shot in open terrain, or sneaking through the coastal jungles.
I've got both scopes in Ruger rings, so it's easy to swap them out for testing.

that looks good. Ruger should offer it as an option. They probably pay $25 for a hogue, if they bought McMillans in bulk they could probably sell Alaskans/Africans for $1300 or so, which i'd gladly pay.
My real question is, if I bought one, could I go sheep hunting in grizzly country?
