[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1444897, member: 30902"] I bought the 375 Ruger for my first trip to Africa. To be honest I was a bit "gunshy" the first time I took it to the range. I quickly found it to be much more tolerable to shoot than expected and seeing it perform on game sold me on it permanently. My Ruger was a 20" and I immediately started wondering how a few more inches might make it into a really fun gun at longer ranges. I had zero issues at even 350-400 yards with it in Africa but here in Texas things can frequently stretch out well beyond that range so I set about looking to find one in a 26" or longer or to have one of my 300's rebarreled with a 26-28" 375R Tube. One day just cruising around the net I came across a full custom Model 70 26" that a guy built and shot once at a price probably a thousand off of what he'd paid to have it made and dove in. In the last 18 months or so it became my go to centerfire for everything and every time I shoot it I like it a little more. [/QUOTE]
