They probably said the same thing about the first Model 70. I know they said it about the first black plastic stocks. But I sorta identify Model 70s with Africa.


Sorry... for me, hunting, especially DG is not a fashion show or gun beauty contest, lol.
ALL I care about is reliabilty and second to that, speed of second shot, since as good as you are (or think you are...?), ones 1st shot may not be the "coup de grace" and your a$$ may depend on a quick follow up.

If Browning made a BAR in .375H&H or .458 Win Mag, I probably get it as I believe that BAR time honored & tested action is as reliable and jam free (maybe more so...especially user caused jams, short stroke, failure to slam Blaser bolt forward, etc.) as any bolt gun, and certainly be a whole lot faster follow up, if needed, than any bolt rifle, Blaser included!
Side note - Interesting idea; get a .338 BAR and convert it to .375 Ruger.

Good luck transiting South Africa with a BAR.
