You certainly can't beat Ruger's version of the Farquharson falling block action for strength.

Mine is in .270 and it's a great single shot carbine.

I did some consulting work for Bill Ruger (Jr) and he gave me a Number One. I should have given more thought to it when he asked me what caliber I'd like, as I have had lots of .405 guns and have dies, cases and bullets.
But I also had all that in 9.3x74, and that's what the gun he gave me is chambered in. It's a powerhouse and about equal to a 375 H&H FLANGED Mag (not belted). Come to think of it, I don't need a gun in either caliber.
