Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Express Rifles and Big Bores Only howa 1500 375 ruger?

It appears that the Howa .375 Ruger is available in both 'blued' and 'stainless', with 20" barrels and Sand, Green, or Black Hogue overmolded stocks.

The MSRP for the blue models is $550, and only $650 for the stainless models.

I'd like to see one of the the black stocked stainless models.

Bud's has them listed, but currently shows them 'unavailable'.

The 'black/stainless' factory number is HGR63912.

Bud's usually sells new guns for less than MSRP so it will be interesting to see their pricing..

Only if CRF is your personal requirement is the Howa at a disadvantage the Ruger for a 375 Ruger chamber rifle

I just picked up one of the Black Hogue-stocked Howa 1500's in 375 Ruger. (I went with the 24" barrel and the blued finish.) I've yet to shoot it but am pretty impressed with the rifle so far, in terms of fit and finish. There are some things I plan on changing and/or adding but it's well put together. The first thing will be to replace the plastic follower with the aluminum version PTG is offering. (Synthetic followers are a major pet peeve for me.) I'll be re-stocking it with something soon (undecided at this point), although I am pleasantly surprised with the Hogue. Much better product than I anticipated. All of their various models are nice bargains too. I picked mine up for under $500.
