thanks for the info. any chance of a photo ?

spike.t It looks like this. I grabbed one a couple of years ago when I heard that Ruger was discontinuing them. I too wanted the 23" barrel, I enjoy the extra velocity.

jduckhunter..........yep, looks just like mine. Maybe even the same scope, I have the Leupold VX-3, 1.5x5x20. I just don't have the custom rifle rest, like the one your rifle is leaning on. I'm working on it though.

You'll get one some day, like you said earlier we were close to them every day, close enough to smell them and a couple of times close enough to hear them breathing and their belly growling. But they always liked to lay up in the thickest vegetation they could find, we just couldn't see them. But one day I got lucky and a lone bull strolled by while we were glassing a herd trying to find a bull to shoot. I still can't say that it was easy though because we tracked that herd for over 7 miles before they stopped to rest. It was a very satisfying experience once it was over though and one that I know that you will experience for yourself one day.
Oh and by the way welcome to the forum!

375 Ruger, Great all around cartridge for Africa. My preference however is the 416 Ruger. Overkill for plains game, but well suited for Buffalo or bigger.
