Went to a gun show.

[khh]

Picked this up at a gun show NIB $600.00 out the door (375 Ruger) I just couldn't walk away from it for that price. I'm Looking forward to playing with it , I really don't have a need for it but I Had a 3x9 Bushnell 4200 looking for a place to land anyway so I guess that's as good a reason as any. Dies, Brass, and bullets, all were harder to find then I would have expected, are on the way. I put out some corn for the Red Squirrels , think I'll give them a going over wiht it , it should handle that. Good hunting KH

I hope that it can handle red squirrels. Very nice rifle.

A pesky, wildly-charging, rampaging red squirrel is a pretty tough character and the .375 might be just the ticket to handle him :grin:

Looks very nice, 8)

 

[LD375]

Nice rig!..welcome to the .375 club :grin:

I have been reading about the 375 Ruger since you posted your picture. Very neat round. A little big for deer but I am guessing it would hammer one. Hmmmmm maybe I should keep my eyes open.

 

[DrMike]

Excellent price for a squirrel round. It is a looker, as well. Consequently, your posting is proof of an old adage--a loose scope attracts rifles like nothing else. :grin: Good snag on your part.

 

[SJB358]

Very nice and one heckuva great price as well!

I am not sure I could've walked away from that rifle either! Way to go.

 

[BK]

Nice! Is that one of the 23" barreled rifles? If so, that was an amazing score!

 

[HeathSexton]

Looks good, I was always a fan of that laminate on matte stainless.

 

[Oldtrader3]

Nice looking Ruger! If you want of need a .375, the .375 RCM is a good one!

 

[Vince]

Very nice looking rifle.
Congrats on your acquisition. It may be a little on the light side for those dangerous red tree rats but it should handle the common field mouse just fine.

 

[sask boy]

That is a great find :wink: and the squirrels in your area must taking those new steroids :shock:. I sure hope that you have someone backing you :mrgreen:

Blessings,
Dan

Thanks to all . BK , yea it has a 23" barrel . I wanted a stainless Alaskan a couple years ago , but I kinda talked myself out of it . Most I've been seeing are $850.00 to $1000.00. There were 2 other 375 Rugers laying there on the table , a Guide gun and a African those were both marked $979.00. There was also a blued Alaskan on another Table they had $995.00 on that. I really felt like if I was ever going to get one this was a good chance. I wish it had 20" barrel I guess at this point my theory is I can make a 23" barrel a 20" but I can't do it the other way. The Red squirrels are having a big happy out here all fat and sassy but very soon that's going to change. Chattering buggers. Good hunting KH

 

[BK]

I gotta admit I'm heap plenty jealous about that find! I want one of those SS 23" jobs bad!

 

[Elkman]

I don't know how big a Red Squirrel is but that should handle them. Especially with a quick finisher. Great rifle at a great price!

 

[cloverleaf]

Now quit teasing the man..... He obviously knows the best way to get a Red Squirrel is to drop the tree on him. The 375 might at least take off the limb. They are quick and pesky little farts. CL

 

[Silent Sam]

That is a good price and IMO a better stock choice than the synthetic.

 

[RiverRider]

All we need for squirrels down here in Texas is a .300 Whelen. Must be some big ones up there at the North Pole.

Nice rifle!

I never knew that a 3.5” 12Ga shotgun slugs were woefully inadequate for red squirrels?

They'll bounce right off those rascals, Keith.
