7x64 Brenneke.
Ruger did a run of 77's in this cartridge 15-20 years ago and it has a history in Africa.

I agree.
7x64 Brenneke (Which would sell like shyte, but be more appropriate for an "African" model)
8x57 Mauser (Which would sell only marginally better than the Brenneke)
30-06 (Because the world loves vanilla ice cream)

Assuming that by super 30 you mean 300H&H, it won't fit in the Ruger long action, which is 30-06 length. The Ruger magnum action used for the RSM's is a whole different animal, and a lot more $$$.

Seeing what that little 7 will do makes me wonder what a fast one will do

I didn’t explain myself very well, but I knew that. For even money, or at least mine, a #1 would be the better choice (way shorter action) while still being classy. And seating depth is no factor.

Does Ruger do a little better job with QC on these or is it the typical Ruger roll of the dice?

My trigger breaks cleanly right around 3#. No creep.

They got it right when the made the .275 rigby. Although, I still haven’t really warned up to the rifle like I thought I would.
Ive warmed up to mine in a BIG way! Seeing what that little 7 will do makes me wonder what a fast one will do Hah! Mine is so fast, you can't even see the bullets in flight!

An African in Brenneke would be interesting. IMHO, Ruger ought to have saved the .280AI for a special run of mountain-type rifle: 24 inch featherweight barrel, light profile stock, sans iron sights, etc. Come in about 6 pounds and that might not be a bad rifle to carry.
