[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 1765834, member: 69192"] I've a safe full of Ruger 77s and one Hawkeye, never a feeding issue at all! As for barrel length if you are doing a build you'll have the option for any barrel length that you choose. I suspect that you will get other great action recommendations, but have no problems with the Ruger 77 or Hawkeye platform to start out with. And...I think that the .375 Ruger is an excellent cartridge for your hunting requirements at the distances you would like to shoot at. Another good cartridge, [U][I]that has been overlooked and never given recognition, [/I][/U]is the .358 Norma magnum. Take a look at the ballistics on this cartridge, there's a great selection of good bullets (Barnes/Nosler/Hammer) that are available for this caliber. Brass is easy to make from 7mm RemMag brass fireformed or necked up to .35 caliber, the cartridge is very accurate and easy to load for; and, it will take any species of animal that walks North America. I am a fan of [U][I]"ole school" unique, [/I][/U]and find this cartridge appealing and oftentimes overlooked. Good luck with your build...........they're always fun to do!! Something that I didn't address was the integral scope bases. I have had problems with the rings loosening up with the 35 Whelen, but....that's the rings and not the integral scope base. SOP is that I torque the scope rings every time that I go to the range or hunting.. but again this has only happened with the 35 Whelen and I have numerous cartridges in Ruger 77s. [/QUOTE]
