Can any of you Ruger Alaskan owners answer this one for me?
I have an old model Ruger Alaskan on it's way to me in almost new condition, couldn't be happier with the deal on got on this rifle. I needed another rugged stainless rifle badly as my blued rifles are just being murdered in the Australian tropics especially in the wet season so I want to try and keep my blued rifles in the safe for the worst 6 months of the year. Is the Hogue stock from factory on the older model Alaskans the full alloy bedded version? Or just the pillar bedded version? I have a brand full alloy bedded Hogue stock on it's way to me as well but I had this stock ear marked for my Ruger Guide Gun in 30-06 as the laminate stock is getting a little sad. But now I'm thinking if the factory stock on the Alaskan I just bought is only pillar bedded I am probably better off putting that stock on my 30-06 and putting the heavier duty version on the 375 Ruger Alaskan.
It came with a set of Redding dies, I have some 235 grain Woodleigh PPSN on order, planning on running them at relatively high velocities with a 3-9 scope, majority of work will be done on long headlands around cane paddocks shooting big boars. I'll be sure to post a photo with its first 100kg cane boar when it happens.
Any feedback on loads you 375 Ruger owners have worked up is also much appreciated.
