I am debating on getting a 375. My one problem is that I am a lefty. And without going the custom route or spending a fortune on a rifle, I've narrowed my choices down to the Ruger Hawkeye African in 375 Ruger or the Browning Stainless Stalker in 375 H&H.
Pluses for Ruger: comes with Express sights and LC6 trigger, shorter action.
Negatives: I don't like the 3 position safety
Pluses for Browning: 60 degree bolt, tang safety
Negatives: no sights.
This would be a close in rifle so a scope would not be needed. I would have to have sights installed on the Browning.
What would you guys do.

I'm a big Browning fan but for what you described I would get the Ruger. Close in work without a scope....sounds like the Ruger is taylor made for that.

The Browning would be nice if you descided to go with a 1.5X scope. I don't know but would guess that installing iron sights on the Browning would be more trouble than it's worth.

popeye, thanks for the response. I just got off the phone with browning and they told me that the stainless stalker in 375 H&H does have Express sights on it (Williams). I wish I could lookand handle both of them. I have 2 Browning Micro Hunters which I like. I had a Ruger M77 MKII which I really wasn't that crazy about. I just may go with the Browning.
I know the ruger also has controlled feed but I've never had a problem with a push feed bolt.

Since you can get the Browning with sights, can I change my mind
Since you wasn't crazy about your previous Ruger I would definately get the Browning.

Another thing to think about is rifle weight. I would guess the Rugeris heavier. Most Ruger's that I've owned seem to be heavy but that might not be true when placed ona scale. The Stalkers that I have, all in more run of the mill calibers,are fairly light weight andthe recoil in 375 might be something to think about.

The recoil doesn't bother me. And the 375 H&H I don't believe will be too bad. I have a 325 WSM in the little Micro Hunter that probably has as much felt recoil as the heavier stalker in 375.
I'm heading down the gun shop tonight and see if I can make up my mind. One other thing that may sway me toward the Browning is the H&H over the Ruger. I'm sure the ammo is more readily available for the H&H. Even though I reload and will be buying brass (the H&H is a few $$ more).

You could also get the Browning w/o sights and put a plain 1x scope or a holographic sight on it. The holographic or red dot sights are great for quick shooting as there is no need to worry about sight alignment and you can shoot with both eyes open. My brothers father-in-law hunts deer with an SKS with a red dot sight, and he shoots lots of deer with it.
