dont care, most guys cant shoot the 12lbs rifle version offhand, the pistol would dislocate both shoulders and probably give you the worst whip-crack to the neck and back you would ever experience without being in a car  wreck

375H&H Mag: Yeah, it kills stuff "extra dead"

i do know a fella who has a .416 rigby in a t/c encore that shot a deer with it up here two years ago, he said the poor deer may as well been hit by an 18wheeler
 
i have no need for anymore bruises than i get at work already. i would rather shoot the .375H&h 80 times than the ruger 40 times

Don't know about the rest of you guys, but I don't want to be a "warrior" with a detached retina.  Are the thick skinned deer in Minny anything like the thick skinned Democrats in Caully-forn-ya?

As long as we are on the subject of big bores, I had a 458 win mag for a while Rem 700 and liked it but traded it, I wont hunt Africa $$$. I had a Browning A-Bolt synthetic .375 H&H and it never shot a very tight group so I traded it. The only big bores that I have now are TC Encore .375 H&H and a TC Encore 45-70 Pistol.  The pistol is lots of fun especially with the unsuspecting friend or two who wants to shoot it.  The .375 H&H Encore is really quite portable and reasonably accurate, one hint - dont miss.  I do have a .50 cal musket barrel that I use on the Encore also and it has been very successful at killing deer.  Personally I dont think there is anything out there that you can kill with a .375 Ruger that I cant kill with a .375 H&H so it's rather a moot argument. Since I already have dies and ammo etc for .375 H&H it would be rather pointless to buy a .375 Ruger.  I've heard a lot of horror stories about Rugers not shooting well and have had  a couple of them that were at best 4moa guns one was a Ruger number 1 in 30-06 and a lot of their older revolvers didnt seem to group well.   I bought my son a 300 Win Mag in a laminated Stainless model 77 and had it glass bedded and floated and it is sub moa so some do shoot. Over the last 30 yrs I have been rather disappointed with the lack of accuracy of some factory rifles however that seems to have taken a turn for the better in the last couple of years.  So if you carry it a lot and shoot it a little the Encore is a nice system and I've been eyeing that 416 Rigby barrel and the rifle length 45-70 barrel.  I think I would really enjoy having a Marlin 45-70 but I just have not been able  to afford one yet.  I worked in a gun shop years ago that had a lot of African type rifles the owner and several of his friends had some very nice double rifles and should I ever win the lottery I'm sure there would be one in my future but no win = no double rifle  ---  that  just life.  One day I hope to be able to replace the $29.95 tasco world class 3-9 on my 375 H&H with a better scope - cause that could happen Indiana%20Jones

another thing to think about is the facts that the .375 ruger is a new-comer and probably would be readily available in the bushveld, and also there brass is spendy, even compared to the h&h

I have a Ruger M77 in 300 WM it is extremely accurate, the wood was absolutely gorgeous. It now sits in a Hogue stock. I still have the wood which is Walnut and is very nice.

.........................Yeah! But when you take everything into consideration and look at the big picture for a new .375 buyer, the avarage cost of a new 375 H&H rifle will be more vs. the average cost of a new .375 Ruger rifle in either the African, Alaskan, the New Howa M1500, or the new CZ...............More than likely, any new 375 buyer, or any existing owner of one, will generally hunt the larger N/A big game or go to Africa............Taking into account all of the shooting/hunting expenses, any difference in brass costs between the H&H and the .375 Ruger, is really going to be a small fraction or nothing more than mere chump change!!..........

BTW! According to my super secret inside source, preliminary shooting/reloading reports indicate that the .375 Ruger, chambered in the Howa M1500 prototypes, will be to say the least,,, extreeeeemely accurate!! How accurate?.......Squeezer`s secret!........It looks now, like I won`t have mine until Jan or Feb. Production is well behind schedule.........
