Wanted Left Hand Ruger 375

[hseII]

I’ve had a hankering for one of these for years. I kept holding out for an Alaskan with a 23” barrel but never ran across such.

what is available?

Thanks

Hi hsell, fellow lefty here. I think if you follow gunbroker and guns international online they do pop up time to time. I was looking for a LH 375 h&h and followed those online auctions and would see the rugers more frequently than what I was looking for. Between those and posting your request on a few forums like this, I’m sure something will turn up! Good luck.

Very nice rifles for the money. When you find one, do yourself a favor and replace the recoil pad. The 1/2" hockey puck that Ruger seems to insist on putting on their rifles doesn't do much. Mine weren't too bad stock, but 1" decelerator pads were a huge improvement.

Ruger does still list a couple lefty .375's, but it seems they make them in batches, so keep your eyes open and sooner or later a bunch will come up for sale.

The 375 FTW? Does anyone know if they were offered in LH?

On the Ruger Website it shows the FTW in 375 & 6.5 Creedmoor, but doesn’t really go in to detail about what the FTW is?

Two on GB now that I see. Not very attractive rifles in my mind, and no open sights. Whether that's a problem depends on your plans for the rifle though.

I have been watching them- I would rather they have open sights but I suppose they could be added easily enough.

Those are the first 2 LH 375 Rugers I’ve seen in a while- I’ve been quietly looking.

I got mine in GunBroker too, from a guy who put maybe 100 shots through it before he sold it. Probably less, but that's another story. It just requires some patience. Things definitely cycle on the auction sites. And I too got a better stock with a better pad, worth the extra cost. The tougher part right now, if you hand load, is reloading brass. I'm glad I bought enough to last me because I haven't seen any in a while.

I have a FTW model if you’re interested. But like you said no open sights.

What stock did you go with?

a local fellow had a few boxes of loaded Hornadys- I messaged him this morning to see if he still had them. I’ll be patient & set up notifications.

They will pop up. I just bought my son one for our 2024 PG hunt in LH in 300WM. I will say the Ruger is both nice looking and I was surprised at the excellent trigger was not prepared for that in a good way

At the time Accurate Innovations had a laminate stock in left handed Ruger M77 long action. The barrel is larger diameter than a standard barrel so I had to sand out the barrel channel a bit to get it to free float, but otherwise it worked perfect. I really like walnut and I've thought about getting a walnut stock by Boyds and doing the same.

Update-
A LH 375 has been sourced.

What magnifications are y’all using on these rifles?

I’m debating on a 1-6, 1-8, or a 2-10 Trijicon but the 1-8 I was leaning towards has a 34mm tube.

Otherwise probably a 2-10x36 Trijicon.

 

[ldmay375]

I currently have a Tract 1-8x24 on a 20", and a Schmidt & Bender 1.6-8x42 on a 23.5" one. I have previously had Kahles 1.1x4x24 &1.5-6x42 on them. These are / were 30mm tube scopes.

A lot of flexibility with the cartridge as with the 375 H&H. I would tailor the scope to my intended use. I would not have an issue putting a 1.7-10x42 if I felt I needed more magnification. I think the 1-6x24 is about and ideal compromise for my use.

I have a left handed FTW in 375 that I put into a Boyd’s platinum in “shady camo” laminate. It matches the color of the action and barrel well. I put a trijicon 3-9x40 on top. The only thing missing on this rifle is the sights and I wish the magazine box was a little longer.

Good luck with the search. I looked for about 10 years before I found a LH Montana Rifle Company in 404J, I should have my hands on it next week, might even take it to the deer woods for closing weekend in Louisiana.

Good news for you is 375 Ruger LH is a lot more common.

I'd go with that 2-10X Trijicon. That covers everything I've needed for a plains game rifle and honestly 2X would have worked fine for my buffalo.

Please share a photo when you get time.

I wonder if the Wyatts magazines could be fitted to these like they can the R700?
