I have the Ruger Alaskan model and a Custom Mauser rifle with a 24" barrel. I sat on the fence for a few years reading reviews on the 375 Ruger before switching. Several years later I am sold on this cartridge.
The Ruger Alaskan is just about perfect. The stock is handy and allows for fast pointing. The action is ultra-smooth, unlike other Ruger 77's I have. No muzzle break and it does not need one for hunting.
Such a fine rifle to have a cast, screw on rear sight base.
All I did to make this rifle perfect was replaced the rear sight with a solid steel rear base and fold-down leaf. I keep a NECG N-100 QD rear Peep sight in the sling pouch for the rear Ruger integral sight base, and I have a QD EER Swaro Z6 1x6 on it with the #24 circle reticle. I have also had a 1.5 x 6 S&B on it with a number #1 reticle. The number 1 is not as handy as the Swaro #24 IMO.
I could not be happier.
