I wonder how rare Ruger #3s in .375 Win are?
Found one today in great shape for $600, but that seems a bit high for me.

That and the .30-40 are the only two chamberings for which the #3 was really suited as configured by the factory. I don't think $600 is out of line.

Its been years since I've seen one for sale, in any chambering. The 30-40 Krag had the strongest appeal for me, followed closely by the .375 Win.
I just bought a Win 94 BB in 375 for just a little more than that. It had been some time since I saw one of those either. But not as long as a Ruger #3.
If you really want it, better buy it. It may be a long time before you see another.
The Ruger #3 isn't as classic as a Shiloh Sharps (yet), but it sure carries easier. I bet it would be fun with black powder 38-55 duplication loads.
I intend to do just that with the Win 94 Big Bore. Hope the faster rifling twist doesn't foul thing up too much (literally).
Good luck either way. I'm sure you know in your heart whether you really want another rifle.

Scott, it seems kinda high to me as well. I paid $625 for my #1 new, a few years ago. Mine is in .308. I love the #1 I'm thinking that the only mistake I might have made was not getting it in .45-70. I could do that as well I guess. I think the stock geometry is a little different on the #1 so it will handle more recoil, like the .458, and the .416.
