Hello all! Long time lurker, first time poster here. Anyhow, I had a winchester .375 h&h until about 6 months ago when I traded it in a deal for a Beretta SxS 12ga. So.... I am needing a new .375. But, I am thinking of getting a 458 Lott as something new to play with.  I really like the Ruger rifles and one of the new guns will be an RSM for sure. The wife has even signed off on the purchase for my Christmas present. However, for budget constraints only one of the new rifles can be a Ruger. So, do I get the Ruger in .375, since it is nicer out of the box and will get used more? Then the CZ Lott would be kinda a "toy" to tinker with (which I like doing anyhow?) since I know it would require some work to get it up to snuff. I love that quarter rib and sights on the ruger though, and that would mostly be unused, since the .375 would wear my 1.5x5 vxIII leo. The Lott I would leave open sighted... how are the CZ sights? Well... thanks for any comments guys!

Definitely go with the Ruger. I have one in 416 Rigby, and it was great out of the box. It had fairly nice wood, trigger pull set at a crisp 2 3/4 pouncs, and balances very nicely.It is a bit heavy, but I like that in a big bore. The only modifactions I did to it, was replace the front site with a fiber optic one from NECG. It shoots 400 grain Woodleigh softs and solids inside an inch at one hundred yards.

My wife bought the Ruger 375 and she loves it. We had a Timney trigger installed and had the stock cut to fit her, added a Pachmayr Decellerator pad. You want to change the factory pad for sure. With the express sights, it's plenty accurate at 100 yards. Haven't really wrung it out much yet with the scope (Vari-X3 1.5-5), but she really likes it, and so do I. I think it is just a tad heavy for a 375, but not by very much. They are nice guns.
