[QUOTE="wwbrown, post: 1718908, member: 31392"] I have a 375 Ruger on a Rem 700, I built it when it was cartridge was first let into the wild. I was headed to South Africa for work and was going to extend my trip by a couple weeks to get some hunting in, so I built the 375. The trip to SA got scrubbed, I have used the 375 spring bear hunting for the last couple of years, the bears have been quie impressed by the round. For something a little different I ma getting a Sears Model 50 (actually an FN model 98 with a 3 digit serial number) bored out to 9.3 x 62 and cut the barrel back to 21". I prefer the controlled round feed and I had Jim Kobe install a 3-position safety on it. I prefer safeties that lock the bolt back instead of the locking the trigger. I recently picked up a decent piece of walnut for the stock and am looking for a duplicator to turn the walnut into a stock that has classic lines and a shadow line on the cheek piece. Basically the same lines as the stock the Model 50 came with, including a shadow line for a little accent. I am taking advice on duplicators so if you have a favorite I would appreciate the contact info. I have a hunch the 375 Ruger will get its place taken as my black bear gun, at least in hunts in the woods. The bears will probably never know the difference between the cartridges at limited distances. Just my thoughts/opinions, wade [/QUOTE]
