If I were buying a 375 caliber I would certainly look at the 375 Ruger when I wanted a shorter,lighter,handier rifle with 375 ballistics.
Does it have the romance of the 375H&H?? Nope!!No Way!!
Still I think it a rifle I would reach for in NA or if not going to Africa.
A SS polymer stocked 375 Ruger 8.5 to 9 pound Bolt with a quality scope would be very appealing.I think if you come up with a better idea you have to use it and see if it works!!
Will it survive?? Hard to say as Alaska/Africa would be its prime places of use.
I think I like it!!
