All Ruger 77MkII derivatives use a spring loaded blade ejector. I like the rifle (excepting the buttpad setup) but I'd like it better in 358 Win.
In spite of the palpable anger the very existence of this rifle will cause

Real wood or black synthetic and I might be on board. Those multicolored laminate stocks just look ultra-silly to me. Silly to the point where if I bought one, I'd feel like I had to class it up by rattle canning it flat black.

Like 19-3Ben said, if it came in 45-70 that'd be great. But even then that's a hefty price tag!

Same reason you do any other rifle.
I like the rifle very much even though the stock looks like a bag of gummi bears.
The stock is certainly ugly, and the comp looks somewhat out of place on a bolt action rifle, but these look like some nice guns. The laminates look better than a cheap black synthetic stock, and the compensator will be welcomed by anyone who wants to shoot one of those magnums more than once.
I'd still opt for the stainless GSR myself.

I was thinking more along the lines of the sour worms, but same idea-
If they offer it in LH form and 338 win with a plain black stock- yes, I will order-
Nearly Impossible to find a 700LH in 338 Win

I am a lefty, and it only comes in 375 Ruger in left hand, so can anyone tell me about that round?
.375 Ruger
The one thing I don't really care for with Ruger is their love of creating their own cartridges and then limiting their rifle offerings to sort of persuade you into buying the gun chamebered in their cartridge.
However, the .375 Ruger sounds like a decent round, and it's probably no harder to find or any more expensive than any of the other big magnum cartridges.

That would be FANTASTIC! I don't mind the rifle- the laminate doesn't offend me, and the muzzle brake is removable. I certainly wouldn't get one in .375 Ruger, as its just too risky to buy a rifle in a unique cartridge like that. I'd buy on in .375 H&H if they made them. But honestly, one of these in .45-70 would be sweet if they made them. My next choice would be .338 winmag i suppose, although I'm not sure what kind of performance you'd get out of a barrel that short.
But I partially hope that the rifle does cause great anger- maybe enough to bring such a rifle into my price range...

Maybe some folks who hunt in Alaska or Africa can confirm or deny, but I thought there had been a thread a while back where a member was claiming that the .375 Ruger had started to develop a healthy following in some of the places where a cartridge of that caliber is commonly used. From MidwayUSA, it looks like Nosler is going to start making .375 Ruger brass, two options is better than one i guess.

Just get the scout rifle. Cheaper, but still over priced.

Yes the .375 Ruger is here to stay and it has made inroads in Africa and Alaska for sure. It is one of the few new short rounds that actually does more than the full length round it is competing with not to mention the affordability and handiness of the rifles that it comes in.
Plain and simple the .375 Ruger slightly out performs the .375H&H in similar length barrels. HOWEVER be careful of the little trick that many of the reloading manuals are using to prop this round up and make it appear to be more than it is. The Nosler manual for instance show .375 Ruger load data from a 26" Pac-Nor barrel.
Well guess what folks, if you compare the load data from a 26" .375H&H we are once again at a slight advantage with the Ruger over the H&H vs the large velocity advantage that this skewed data portrays as they are using a 24" barrel for load data in the .375H&H.
Just an FYI in case you hadn't noticed that.

Haha, well Marlin does make a traditional looking guide gun, I just like posting that "tactical" abomination.DoubleTapDrew,
I don't know if this is really the case, but I keep imagining that railed fore stock acting like a cheese-grater for your hand when using heavy loads...
