new Ruger Hawkeye chambered in .375 Ruger, should be here in time for Christmas!
Going to mount a 2-7x33mm Leupold VX-II on it for starters and replace the original recoil pad with something that actually reduces recoil.

It sounds like you've got the fever. Have you thought about joining BBA? Big Boreaholics Anonymous will help you with your problem. If you need counseling I'll be glad to help out and also keep those rifles until you can get this thing under control. Once we get you past the initial cravings for the recoil and smell of nitro we'll work on walking past racks of guns in stores. We'll start with WalMart Sporting Goods and work our way up to Gun Shops. Then once you're cured you'll have no use for the rifles and I'll put them to good use since I was declared terminal years ago.

My wife learned years ago that I like practical every-day use gifts. A knife, shaver, or toaster are good gifts to me. Now that I'm knee-deep in guns and reloading I hand her a specific hand written list on what I want. The part that sucks is I already know what I'm getting. I haven't bought my own gifts yet. What did you give for the Ruger? I saw a MSRP in G&A I believe that sold it for over a grand!!! I know you have a shop and an FFL But what could a regular guy get one for...out the door?

If you can get one for around $925-$950 out the door you have done pretty good. The best bet is to buy one off gunbroker and have it shipped to a FFL.

I'm getting a Steyr-Mannlicher Model M Luxus in 30.06, it's a 1977 model that has never been fired.

10-4. I've also got access to a Model L Luxus in 22-250 but I don't know if I'd ever use it. It's a beautiful gun.
