..............Own the Ruger Alaskan, so I guess I'm partial towards the Alaskan. Have bench fired a friends African.

You can go with either. But I consider the Alaskan for your use to be the better pick for handling and overall abuse.

I happen to be a fan of the very grippy Hogue stock. Many are not. Absorbs recoil better imo and is not prone to stock cracking like the Africans have been. Have not heard if Ruger ever solved that problem or not.

Good luck.....
