[QUOTE="blvette75, post: 3062661, member: 72440"] I went with a custom 375 Ruger, had it built with a CIP length action/DBM (actually uses 338 RUM mags) for the longer bullets. Built it for my bucket list hunts. I know for a hunt at the end of August you will not be able to go custom. But the 375 Ruger gives you the same ballistics as a 375 H& H with a shorter 20 "barrel. I still went with a 26" barrel for the extra velocity. I was not able to find a rifle in stock when I was looking to buy. I checked the Weatherby Website. As far as in stock options you may want to look at either a Weatherby rifle with their Mark V action either their 340 or a 338/378. They had on their Website an Apex model in stock for 338/378 and a 340 available in an Accumark model. They still make the 378, 416 and 460 weatherby in the Deluxe model, a real cool looking rifle if you like wood stocks. When I checked with Weatherby during the Pandemic they were not producing the large calibers is the reason I went custom. An option with similar ballistics to a 338 win mag is their 338 RPM. Just my thoughts and good luck with your search. [/QUOTE]
