Only pro is 375 H&H

Fellow Rifle Grumps,

I do wish Winchester would stop wasting time and materials on making their stainless / synthetic Model 70 Rifles for what seems like an endless list of weird and meaningless new cartridges.
As far as I can tell, none of their latest new cartridges, actually do anything new.

Conversely, there is a real market for that very same weather resistant rifle, but in .375 H&H caliber.
A local gunsmith here in Anchorage does pretty well converting them from 7MM Magnum and .300 Winchester, to the very useful .375 H&H caliber.
But the finished product, however excellent that it definitely is, will never appeal to the budget minded type of customer.

If a person does not want to spend very much money and yet desires a stainless steel rifle with the ballistics of the .375 H&H then, Ruger fits that description.

Aside from the above scenario, the Ruger caliber does not answer any questions that I can think of.
Furthermore, I have noticed that at least here where I live (Alaska), ammunition for the budget priced Ruger is sporadically difficult to find.

Just like Red Leg and others here have already said, I do seriously doubt that, name your species on this earth, receiving a .37 caliber bullet, will notice any difference whatsoever between the original .375 H&H and the late-to-the-party Ruger version (well past 100 years late to the party).

Back when Ruger announced their new .375 cartridge, it’s does-what-the-H&H already-does factor, inspired only a yawn and a shrug from myself.
But now, with ammunition for it being often scarce around here means that, (if it’s even possible), the .375 Ruger caliber bores me more than it originally did.

Cheers,
Velo Dog.
