I think you can just Google Verney Carron. 700 nitro buffalo hunt.

Whatever the PH says. I've only been on 3 safaris and of those 3 it was put one in the chamber when we get off the truck.

beauty of a king snake!!

A perfect recipe!!

Man there is ALWAYS a plague of those demons down here in the early season. And they never completely go away. I've started out on a frosty November morning and not have any. Then around 9am with a bright sun, I'd be racing them back to the truck and then have em fill up the cab when I opened...

Pecans

Double. You've already got bolt rifles.

Yall are making me want to buy a #1 and send it to Roger........ENABLERS!!!!!

Very nice.....congrats!!

Prayer sent.

Oh and replace the 10/22 rear sight with a proper express sight and increase the size of the front sight bead.

If Ruger would fit the quarter rib to the conture of the barrel so it wouldn't have that unsightly and incomplete looking gap under it, I would consider the #1 to be the near perfect single shot rifle.

And btw......the first thing I killed with mine was a fat 8 point buck too.

She's a beauty!!

I'd take my good old VC .450......unless great fortune smiled upon me and I could get a classic British double.

Oh I forgot about the scope. Fixed 4X Leupold.

Another vote for the boring old '06.

I do that now......and I learned it from my grandma

You are correct about Wade Hampton.

That caused me to have palpitations!!! WOW!!

Yep that's what I was thinking.

.460 S&W maybe?

I can tell you from personal experience the Tom Leoni is honorable man.

Thus has absolutely been my experience.

I would listen to RJ if you want your rifle to have the "Old Africa" look and feel. He knows his business.

In the unlikely event that they should fail, they can be repaired/replaced. It doesn't appear from the picture that it would extract, but I could very well be wrong. JJ Peradeau will be glad to answer your concerns. Unlike me, he is an expert on double rifles and a world class gunsmith.

I'd be alright with 20 guage. I think someone still makes brass cases in 20 guage too. Of course the .577 is ideal. I'm not opposed to 50-70 either.

Very slick indeed. I like that a lot.

How does it take down, by backing out the action screws?

I'd probably give up a kidney if I had to for that original one........WOW!!!!

I couldn't do it. I'd die from worrying that I'd die before it was finished.

Not mine btw nor am I associated in any way with the seller or the site.....other than being a victim of the site.

Somebody needs to jump on this one: https://www.gunsinternational.com/guns-for-sale-online/rifles/ruger-rifles---single-shot/ruger-no-1-tropical-375-h-h.cfm?gun_id=102647175

That was hurtful

You have come to the wrong place. Nothing but wretched enablers on this site.

Only slightly. They won't be happy until all hunting is banned and, being leftists, they will still be the same miserable bastards they always are.

me pretty much EVERY morning.......actually more often, I have to pee right before it's time to get up

Man when that stupid song came out it seemed like it played on any station I turned to trying to get away from it asap. I hated it then and my hatred hasn't subsided any at all since the summer of 1978. oh and thanks for getting it stuck in my brain again.....:-P

I know what you mean and normally I wouldn't dream of blasphemeing a double with an optic but since it came with that option..... Also, I'm hoping to go to Zim next year for croc and hippo, I'm planning to take the 450-400 so I can carry just one rifle in a take down case. I'll hunt the hippo...

As much as I love my .450 NE double, I'd probably have to go with my 450-400 double because it can and will be scoped due to my aging eyeballs.

I acquired a 450-400 double in December and have had no trouble finding loaded ammo and components for it. All Hornady, but that was what I was looking for. I don't see it going anywhere any time soon barring a total financial collapse.

I just received the scope I bought from ChetAF. It is as new as he described. You may buy with confidence from ChetAF.

Yes! I'd forgotten about him. His show doesn't come on anymore on DISH........which is what I have. I really enjoyed his show.

TIA I used to love Under Wild Skies Africa when the host would hunt with some cool old gun. The overbearing music on just about all the shows (even the very few I generally like) causes me to watch them muted most of the time.

Thank you sir.

Magnificent rifle!!! It will bring you years of enjoyment even if you never killed a thing with it......but I'm sure will.

Don't let the left side lock put you off. I've got a John Dixon .450 with a left hand lock and it is no problem at all. In fact many of the early Alex Henry breech loaders were left hand lock on purpose because Henry felt that it would be easier for a right handed person to use. Of course I know...

Is this scope for scout rifles only or will it work for conventional mounting?

Thank you John for the kind words and a great transaction from your end. Enjoy!!

Words fail me!!! Thanks for sharing!!
