Which action for .375 Ruger?

[DJL2]

Just a fun hypothetical to get you through another day of Coronacation! You're an avid rabbit hunter, but you've spotted a Jackelope and you just NEED a .375 Ruger to put that beast down. However, no mere factory action will do - this IS the Hide, after all. As you commence construction of your Jackelope Stacker, who's action do you select (and which caliber are you getting your "spare" barrel in)?

For a dangerous game cartridge like that you need controlled round feeding. I would maybe do Dakota. My spare barrel would be a 375 H&H

Just get a Ruger M77; It won't fail you. Wear good shoes when shooting that 375; I had one with a 20" barrel that kicked me into yesterday and then I had to walk back.

You know, I'm not sure how I feel about ARC. Though I'm not surprised to see them mentioned - TL3, Mausingfeld...if the preference for Jackelope slaying is CRF, there aren't so many options. I admire the Ruger for what it is, but the M77 action is not a personal preference of mine. Of course, when it comes to .375 in factory rifles the pickings are slim indeed.

that's why I specified the M5 over the nucleus/archimedes/M7 mausingfield
