I have owned a 7mm Mag in one rifle or another for years. I hunt deer,bear and moose mostly. I have been tossing around building a 7mm-375 Ruger after reading about them recently. This would be a project that I may do in the next year or so. So where do I start as in what platform should I look for? Looks like some use the 700 Rem rifle which I have but its in 270.Any others I may want to consider? I know where there is a NIB Model 70 300 WM. Thanks
 
From this report I could use my Rem 700 270 or my 1903 a3 to do the build.
From Wiki
The .375 Ruger uses a unique case designed by Hornady and Ruger. The case is of a rimless design having the base and rim diameter of .532 in (13.5 mm) which is the same diameter of the belt on belted magnum cases based on the .300 H&H Magnum and .375 H&H Magnum. This allows the cartridge to have a greater case capacity than a belted magnum case given cases of equal length. As Ruger intended the cartridge to be chambered in standard length bolt action rifles[2] the case length was kept to 2.580 in (65.5 mm) which is only .04 in (1.0 mm) longer than the .270 Winchester case. The maximum overall length of the cartridge is 3.340 in (84.8 mm) which is similar to the maximum overall length to standard length cartridges such as the .338 Winchester Magnum or the .30-06 Springfield. Unlike Remington Ultra Magnum cartridges, the Ruger Magnums can be chambered in standard length bolt action rifles. This allowed Ruger to chamber the cartridge without extensively redesigning their M77 rifle platform to adopt them to the new Ruger cartridge.
 


Just get a chamber reamer made and send it to RCBS and have dies made. Then, size a case and use it to set head space. Tell, us how it shoots.
