I have now owned this rifle a couple of years. Only used it for wild boar with good result, but the day before Christmas I got the chance and shot a brace of roe dear. Worked perfect on the small sized deer. 260 grains Nosler Accubond dropped them both in their tracks. Superb meat for the party...

Cheers boys and girls. The summer temperatures an a broken cooler made the hunting take a pause.[emoji482]

3 pigs in one week with the Ruger. Very happy with the performance of the Norma Oryx bullet.[emoji1]

I bought the rifle because I wanted a close shot gun with good effect and that creates decent blod trails. I still own a 30-06 that is my allround rifle.

Result of the first hunt: Reduction of two pigs from the Swedish forest[emoji1236][emoji1]. The Norma Oryx worked perfect. Swedish quality[emoji6].

Now it’s time for the waiting game.[emoji1]

Ready to be sighted in.

I am getting a pair of Warne scopemounts in the mail today, so I loaded up some extra ammo. Will go to the hunting ground getting it sighted in and maybe hunt some tonight. The sun almost never gets below the horison now.

First test shooting with 270 grains and 300 grains Hornady factory ammunition.

I have never owned or shot a bigger rifle than 9,3x62. The 375 gave a bigger push. But manageble. My hand loads were softer in recoil then the factory loads.

Shooting Stick

Just received my Ruger Alaskan in 375 Ruger. Will be my ”brush-gun” when hunting boars with my Wachtelhund this autumn winter. Bullet choice will be a modest loaded 300 grain Norma Oryx. We will se how it will work.
