Ten years ago the idea of a braked short .375 with a 20" bbl and adjustable pull length would have seemed silly to me. Then I handled one - at 9.5# scoped it feels like a typical 7# field gun. Fast swing, weight between the hands. Been using it past two seasons. Really like it, about 300 rds down the pipe so far. Comfortable, feels like a non-braked 9.5# '06. Excellent trigger. Which means can shoot it as precisely as our .243.
Hunt alone, and always wear electronic muffs, so brake is a non-issue. Suppose could either install a weight, or simple end cap. Accuracy just fine, Hornady 270s 5 into 3/4" at 100 yds. Speer 270s and 235s about 1-1.25", Nosler 300 partitions about 1".
As for the cartridge, easily delivers 24" H&H ballistics from a 20" tube. Like when a product delivers what it promises.
Only Ruger "quirk" is remembering the angled screw wants 95 inch-lbs. Mine likes 35# middle, 50# rear.
