Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Express Rifles and Big Bores Only different stock for ruger alaskan

Complete penetration of the ear? the tail? the bum?

Come on, quit teasing!!!

(I will still purchase the magazine)

I have not ask my daughter about where she hit the bear her client ask her to shoot after he hit it but she said it didn't move far as it was hit correctly on the first shot. my last client hit his big bear solidly through the chest also but it was in very thick cover and ran so as it crossed a small opening I hit it in front of the hind leg and the bullet exited the off-side chest. Both bullets gave complete penetration.
I won't say the 350 Woodleighs are particularily any better than say 270 TSX or 300 Partitions on the basis of one big bear but they certainly did a great job. The bear didn't travel 30 yards.

Another of my hunters was using a 375 H&H and 300 Sierra BT bullets and placed four of them into the chest of another large ( 27 1/2" B&C) boar and it just staggerd around and really never moved. Two bullets were found just under the hide on the off side of the chest - perfectly mushroomed.
Those basically were the highlights of this year's season.

Sounds exciting, thanks Phil!

I can never wait for bear hunting stories!

Well,
The UPS guy just stopped by. And gave me a box with a new....
Hogue stock and a letter From Ruger and one from hogue.
Now I have 2 hogue stocks for sale !
The only difference I see is the rear pillar is sticking up
about a 1/2", on the new one.

What is the deal? Did they just send youa new stock out of the blue?

You gotta call Hogue directly and give them the serial # off your rifle since there is a recall on some of the 375 Ruger Alaskan rifles due to some Hogue stocks breaking.

Oh dear...I better call

Thanks

Just call Brownells and order a factory Ruger synthetic stock for $63. they are slimmer, lighter and obviously tougher.

Infection molded stocks make me feel ooky, although I know you like them...

I have a B&C stock on my Ruger 7MMRM, it works well...:)

Injection molded stocks are certainly not my first - or even second - choice but they do work well as a handle for a hard working rifle.

Im just going to buy an african model and chop it to 20". That way I get the best of both worlds...Chromemoly...bluing...nicely shaped wood stock and a handy dandy 20 inch bbl.

Gatehouse,
Yep, Never talked to Ruger, and this is the first Ruger I've
ever owned. I sent in my registration card a couple months ago.
I got an e-mail with a tracking number that I thought was for
some dies from sinclair.
Boy was I surprised !!
