I've owned both the 375 and 416 ruger at one time. Loved them both. The 375 was my favorite. Recoil was no worse than my m77 338 win mag. Stocks are ugly but they feel almost perfect. I got moa out of the 375 and handloaded 300 grainers to 2600fps with h4350. Not bad for a 20" barrel. Cant go wrong with the alaskans!
