Dang, I was in Rochester, MN just a week ago (I live in Colorado). I'll need to clear things on the home front first, but if I decide to purchase I may have my son-in-law bring cash and pick it up if that's OK.

It's an awesome rifle. Still question having sold it. But, a greater goal prevailed (.577 NE falling block build).
Were I never to leave North America, the .375 Ruger would be the obvious choice. With regard to Africa, it's still an obvious choice but the .416 Ruger then becomes a compelling option, also.

The rifle is now bedded in a factory black synthetic stock shoots much better groups. Shot 2 nice black bears in ak this spring and a dozen hogs in Oklahoma . Headed north for moose this fall but will probably take 338-06. Lighter and shoots little flatter

Hi Ct,
Thanks for info on your setup here. Did you go with the short action hogue stock or the long action version?
Looking to do the same to my 416 ruger guide. Thanks again and have a good one.

Love your rifle! I'm needing a heavier rifle for Africa. Sold my .375 Dakota Safari several trips ago. Would you have any interest in a trade of some sort involving the custom 338/06 I have listed here on the site ( I have some room on my asking price. I also have a large quantity of the reloading components and new Redding dies as well as a box of A-Square Dead Tough ammo.
