Shallow "express-style" windage-adjustable V-notch rear sight and large white bead front sight for instant target acquisition.
Rugged, Green Mountain laminate stock is dimensionally stable in environmental extremes, and features a soft rubber buttpad with buttpad spacers that allow the rifle to be properly sized for different shooters or varying levels of outerwear (three, 1/2" spacers included). Wrap-around checkering provides a sure grip in any weather.
The Ruger® Muzzle Brake System includes a removable, radial-port muzzle brake that significantly reduces felt recoil. For times when the brake is not preferred, it may be replaced with the included dynamically-matched muzzle weight. Switching between the brake and the weight will not change the bullet's point of impact for a particular load. The included thread protector may be used if neither the brake nor the weight is desired.
Non-rotating, Mauser-type controlled round feed extractor is among the most positive case extraction system ever invented, and features a fixed blade-type ejector that positively ejects the empty cases as the bolt is moved fully rearward.
The LC6™ trigger features smooth, crisp performance right out of the box for increased accuracy on the range or in the field.
Hinged solid-steel floorplate for easy unloading without having to chamber each cartridge. Features an engraved Ruger logo and latch that is flush with the trigger guard to avoid accidental dumping of cartridges.
Three-position safety is easily accessible and allows the shooter to lock the bolt or to load and unload the rifle with the safety engaged.
Cold hammer-forged barrel results in ultra-precise rifling that provides exceptional accuracy and longevity.
Integral scope mounts, machined directly on the solid-steel receiver, provide a stable mounting surface for included scope rings, eliminating a potential source of looseness and inaccuracy in the field.
Rugged, one-piece, stainless steel bolt.
Also includes: barrel band mounted swivel stud; optional forend swivel stud.

The 375 Ruger, a joint development between Ruger and Hornady, was introduced in 2006 in the Ruger Hawkeye. Its unbelted case has a .532-inch rim and base, the same as most belted magnums, simplifying manufacturing. Case length is 2.580 inches, allowing it to be housed in a standard (30-06) action. Design criterion was to equal 375 H&H ballistics in a shorter case. Because of the efficiency of the shorter, fatter case it actually exceeds 375 H&H performance; Hornady's 270-grain load delivers 2870 feet per second; the 300-grain load 2705. Introduction of the 375 Ruger was perhaps the most successful launch of a big-bore cartridge. Its ability to fit into a standard-length action renders it more affordable than most cartridges in its power range, with current options including Mossberg as well as Ruger. It is not as available as the 375 H&H, but fills the same niche: Powerful enough for the largest game, yet shoots flats enough for most hunting applications. — Craig Boddington
