DocRocket,
I would seriously consider ditching the factory wood on your Ruger. It's just a matter of time before it splits, if it hasn't done so already. A nasty split behind the tang is not something you want on your safari.
My own African 375 now wears a Mcmillan Ruger Classic style, with magnum fill, which I am very happy with.
If you are interested in a Hogue stock, PM me.

I'd rather be a free man in my grave, than living as a puppet or a slave....
