[QUOTE="varmint79, post: 1781584, member: 3704"] Bighorn TL3's are great actions but not needed for the type of use a 375 Ruger is best suited for. You don't need quarter MOA accuracy for a relatively short range thumper (compared to many rifle cartridges discussed on this site). If this is to be a typical hunting rifle, any of the M77 Ruger Hawkeye, CRF M70 (pre 64 or classic) or a CRF CZ Magnum would work just fine. I'd also pay attention to overall weight/handling of the rifle, decent reliable trigger, good stock most likely bedded to make sure it would handle the recoil well and a durable scope and mounting hardware. Darcy Echols is one of the best and I'd love to have a safe full of his work but it's not necessary. If you have the disposable income and inclination of course go for it:) He builds most of his on M70 Classics. I'd love one of his stocks but they are somewhat unobtanium unless you are buying a complete rifle from him. I remember when his rifles were considered expensive at $7000. [/QUOTE]
