My 375 Ruger purchase was pure economics- I had booked a trip to Africa, and with the possibility of dangerous game being on the menu (as well as large plains game) I found myself in need of a large caliber rifle. ANY 375 H&H cost $1500 and up at the time I was shopping, the CZ 550 being the most available, the Ruger African 375 was available and was $800, nearly $700 less for the same ballistic performance, and in a really good looking gun. the difference in price gave me plenty of ammunition, and reloading components, as well as more cash to spend on the trip!
