My guide gun had a few niggles which the UK importer are sorting out at the moment. Due to this I had grounds to easily get a refund, but presuming that the problems go away I love the gun and wouldn't entertain a refund. Nice and compact, great sights (comes up like a shotgun). If you reload...

I'd have happily had a h&h if a good value stainless synthetic was available, ideally with a short barrel. But it wasn't. The short barrel performance is a bonus.

Swift have very kindly helped me with some data, living in the UK means even some manuals aren't easily available.

Care to share your A-Frame load?

I considered a Howa when I got my 375rug, I discounted it because of the lack of open sights. Other than that they are good rifles.

Welcome to AH, I'm also in the UK, there are a few of us.

I've been playing around with TB in my 375rug. I've not got some 300gn gas checked bullets to get the price right down. It worked well with 300gn SGKs, so I expect it to be fine with the cast lead too.

I guess against DG hitting yourself in the face isn't too much of a problem, but if it causes a short stroke it is. I can cycle my 375rug in my shoulder, but will be trying this now.

1DH pretty much mirrored what I said. But in more depth. His reasons perfectly match mine.

My reason for choosing the .375Rug is the "flavour" of rifle. Mine is for cold and snowy and not dry and dusty so stainless is essential. The guide gun is perfect with it's short barrel. Ballistically the Rug has the edge on the H&H, but not enough to have to take that into account.

I'm aiming for a tightish group because I need to put rounds down to get used to the rifle anyway and to run the action in, so I may as well be productive.

My plan with my .375rug is to shoot some SGK 300 gn rounds to find something that is as fast as I can get and a decent accuracy from, then replace with a-frames and shoot a group of 3 to check that they still shoot OK. As above velocity is the main aim and something that shoots a reasonable...

I've already got a 375rug, but hopefully someone over here will be interested. I sent a link to a member here from your advert on TSD. Where did you get the cheek piece from?

Where is that? (PM me if you like). Mine took a few months to come in, but less than I expected. Yes it was a special import for me. I remember talking to Mike about mine a few months back. I can see why you have the once bitten, twice shy mentality after that mentality.

There are a few manufacturers that have them listed now. I'm not sure of availability, living in the UK it is irrelvant as they won't be for sale any time soon.
