375 Ruger in savage

[tammons]

I would get a 375 ruger.
The new savage rifles are not control feed and have a bottom bolt release which I hate.

I bought a 375 ruger barrel here and screwed it onto and older control feed action I already had and dropped i tin a duramax stock.
A real thumper and Mcgowen or others can make you a barrel.

Right now I am building a 9.3x62 Mauser which is interesting.

Good Point,
so get a donor 30-06 control feed action
er shaw 375 20 inch barrel
boyds thumbhole stock
low power scope (which one?)

I have a CZ in 9.2x62,
I want a 9.2x64 but I can't find someone to make me a barrel :-(.

Don't waste time finding a .30-06 CRF action to build a .375 Ruger on. Find a donor in 7mm RM, .300 WM, or .338 WM as they'll be the most common. It'll save you money from having to have a smith open up the bolt face and work the feeding the larger case.

A lot of companies make a 9.3mm barrel, so I don't know what the issue finding one is? If it's finding a smith with a reamer you can always rent one. This way you can have the rifle you really want.

There are very few countries in Africa that don't allow the 9.3 for dangerous game, so I wouldn't worry about it.

taylorce, thanks bunch for the 4-d headsup, it will be quite economical to get a 9.3x64 barrel from them. I already have the dies/brass/loaded factory ammo :-).
