I chose a .375 H&H Savage 116 Weather Warrior for this style of hunting over the Ruger. I also intend to use it in Africa. I've shot both and while the Savage does not meet the classic popular requirements of a dangerous game rifle (push feed, tang safety as opposed to three position safety and Mauser style feed on a Ruger) it was much more pleasant to shoot and much less expensive to buy. The little .375 Ruger African has more sudden recoil that bites pretty hard. Frankly, my groups were a full 1/2 inch tighter with the Savage trigger system and the heavier/longer action. For most of us these rifles are carried a lot and shot a little. The Rugers are very nice carry guns... especially the Alaskan. The Ruger Alaskan should prove very popular as a homestead/bear defense gun in the North country and I look for the company to broaden the caliber selections for that rifle. But I don't feel one bit handicapped carrying the Savage especially in .375 H&H. I KNOW the .375 H&H cartridge will be around for some time and I don't really know how popular the Ruger will prove to be.
