I'm itching for a new bolt-action (or lever) above .308. That is the highest rifle caliber I own at the moment. This is a "would like to have" gun. I have no illusions about going to Africa or Alaska, but it would be nice to be able to take down dangerous game if I decide to change my mind. Maybe something that can handle a Grizzly? This will probably be the only gun I buy that hits harder than a .308.
I don't plan on shooting long range, so I don't believe a Magnum is required unless that ends up being the better caliber choice for other reasons too. I figure 300-400 yards would be max for this rifle, if that. Penetration > range.
I really like the looks of the .375 Ruger but I don't know if factory ammo is plentiful and cheap. The 9.3x62 or .375H&H come up a lot in my research. Any others worth looking into?
