Should have my new Savage Hog Hunter in a few days. It is a 20 inch bbl in .338 Win Mag. I am thinking I am going to top it with the Nikon Monarch 1-4x20 with the German #4 reticle. I have on on my AR. It is a great scope. I know I can use it out to 300 yds with ease.
I was going to go with a higher power scope, but then decided it is a good guide gun/close up gun and want the German #4 and a quick acquisition capability while retaining some ranging capability as well. Oh..that rifle will also sport a muzzle break. |

I have looked longlingly at its half brother the Alakan Brush Hunter in 375 Ruger and if brass were not in such short supply would probably already have bought one because I like the feel of the rifle.

Short bbl'd thumpers are fun.
I see at least two places that show 375 Ruger brass in stock. But one shows it at $1 a piece and the other may as well be so to.

Just got the Savage Hog Hunter in .338 Win Mag. Waiting for my muzzle brake. I will be mounting a Weaver Grand Slam 3-10 on this. The iron sights that come with it are real nice; brass bead front sight post and real nice rear sight as well. Took off the stock and adjusted the accu-trigger down to the lowest weight and it is a pretty sweet trigger now. Photos after I get the scope mounted and hopefully the Grizzly muzzle brake shows up soon. I gots ammo ready to shoot.
Let me know if there is a good aftermarket stock out there for this rifle. It is a Savage 11/111 Series long action. |

Well getting closer. Find that the Weaver GS scope and Talley one piece mounts will not work on this long action. So I ordered a Warne Tactical Picatinny base and some Leupy rings for this rifle. That way I can get the scope placed correctly. However, I did get the Grizzly Gun Works muzzle brake installed so here is a photo of that. Should have the scope mounted this week. Pics from that when finished.
I have read good things about this brake. As you see it is massive. But cool. Effective from what I read. Will let you know. |

Nice. I bet that brake will be really loud, but effective. However, I don't see a need for the prongs...

Baobby I was thinking the same thing.
Especially if one ran up on you, it would be a spikey introduction.
