Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game Thoughts on the 375 Ruger vs. 338 Win Mag for 1, do-it-all rifle

Fun problems to have uh?????

Have you thought of putting a brake on the custom 375 RUM? Do you have an extra long barrel on it, like a 28" or longer? If that rifle is not now easily do-able for field use or not reasonably easy to carry around, why not just keep that one, shorten the tube down a little (if over 26") and put a brake on it as well?

I own a 375 Ruger Alaskan myself. It`s a truly wonderful cartridge. If you didn`t already have the RUM, I`d say get the African. But the RUM can be loaded down to lower levels and with a brake, you just may be pleasantly surprised.

Keep the 338 and modify your 375 RUM if possible. That should save quite a few bucks!
