if the folks that make these cartridge decisions had necked down the .375 Ruger to .338 and .300 there might have been a better recception....essentially achieving .300 Weatherby performance from a standard action length.....something many Mauser owners would appreciate....but then, let's face it folks.....these cartridges aren't heads and tails over the .300 and .338 Win mags either.....that said, I'm not sure that the shooting clan values the short action as much as Ruger thinks they do....either way, the gains are not truly significant....but marginal at best.....
