No, not yet.…practicing or shooting. I use the open palm method, maybe that’s the difference?

Thanks for the pics, Axle2010. Yeah, those look about the same height as my Warne rings. Very nice!

30mm rings? Please post a pic when you get the scope mounted! I’d like to see if the AAs are lower than my Warne rings.

I selected the options for a Boyd stock, then emailed them to make sure it would fit my Ruger Hawkeye African .375 as it was not specifically listed in the drop down. The barrel and screw dimensions were correct. Their response was “Sorry, we do not offer a stock for that model”. Glad I...

Yes, they fit Ruger’s proprietary integral base cuts and AA’s are the traditional horizontal split ring as opposed to Warne’s vertical clamp. Just aesthetics for me, I guess. These Warne rings have been great on my .375 so not throwing any shade on ‘em.

I would definitely go with AA’s QD rings for your Ruger also. The Warne rings on mine are doing their job so can’t justify swapping at this point.

Just to follow up, I did purchase AA’s mag extender for my Ruger .375. Morris is indeed a pro & went the extra mile helping me with shipping. Installation took 10 minutes, fit is perfect, and it cycles flawlessly with the stock follower spring as Morris promised. It’s heavier than the factory...

What an interesting rifle! Please share future findings with us.

I vividly remember the stank of a cage of live crickets in a local bait shop. Must be experienced to be believed.

:A Popcorn:

If I may interject a moment….would someone kindly direct this newbie to the original post where Mr. Nelson first begat his denied love for the .243?

My observation is that when the SxS is locked, the breech end of the insert is held solidly at the receiver face akin to a 12ga shell’s rim. The o-rings at the muzzle end just help maintain center in the bore, of course. They must be affected by the insert’s harmonics at firing so act somewhat...

For me, .45-70 is the nearly perfect caliber for hogs in these dense piney woods PLUS the option to hunt with the Brenneke slugs so having the inserts permanently installed was never considered. 00 or #4 Buck option is nice too. As stated, my plan is to shoot 405gr CAS loads at 1150fps with...

A second, but nonetheless important consideration I had with exposing the .45-70 barrel crowns 1/8” past the muzzles was to lessen hot gas impingement on the Chaszel insert’s tip o-rings. Can’t get around normal barrel heat transfer but I sought to eliminate direct contact with burning powder...

Yes. The Warne QDs attach like standard Ruger rings with no rail needed.

You and me both, except for 12ga. He’s out of the .35 Rem barrels also.

Between monsoons and work I’ve been bowed up like a sawmill jackass. No rain = next weekend range day for sure!

Chaszel suggests the inserts can be rotated in the host barrel until desired POI is obtained, then the insert and chamber face indexed to that position. I’m a little dubious of that, but still hope it will be that easy. If regulation is way off I will make a clip as described previously.

Well, I cut the barrels at 23-7/8” specifically to leave the barrel insert’s crown exposed with the thought I might later need to machine a thin flat clip that fits over the barrel ends and could pull/push the barrels together/apart for regulation. I saved the 4” barrel cutoff piece for this...

I did replace that thin (and hard) factory recoil pad with a 1” Decelerator on mine to increase LOP a bit. With a Leupold VX-6HD 1-6 and Warne QD rings mine is just over 10#s. Alaska Arms makes an extended floor plate for these Rugers that adds 1 additional round, additionally.

Congrats on your new Ruger! I have an African in .375 and really like it but could wish for a little more wood in the wrist area. If you don’t have an in-lbs torque wrench capable of 90#s, get one. That’s Ruger’s spec for the front action screw and their “solution” to stock cracking, apparently.

Sounds like you and I are kinfolk. It could be raining Taylor Swifts and Travis Kelsey would fall on my head.

Sorry to hear of your dilemma & hope it gets sorted quickly.

Lots of jacketed & monos available if you decide on .410. I see 350gr .408 cast available that would eliminate a custom mold expense.

.458 WM, because it works.

Might shoot an email to Chaszel (Central Tooling) and ask if they will cut you one of their threaded barrel blanks in .40 cal. They do offer a shotgun adapter in .40 so I figure they are already setup with the tooling.

Just curious…USPS, FedEx, or UPS as the shipper?

rwp315, his was single barrel. Those front sight pics are of my 12ga to .45-70 SxS “Poor Man’s Double” conversion.

I would be in the middle of IH-10 to see ranges like that. Envy your setup!

Just received a reply from Morris at Alaska Arms and he states that the follower, hinge pin, and mag spring from the original rifle work fine with the extender and there’s never been any feeding issues. That seems odd to me but I can’t find any negative reviews online…but no positive reviews...

+1

Good info, thanks! I’m wondering the same thing so will contact AA next week.

PM incoming…

I have some Badger Matt sent me awhile back that I can share. Do you mind nickel cases?

Good idea, and I would have it coated if I actually get one. Need to hear they have no feeding issues or other glaring issues.

Interested in feedback on AA’s Ruger magazine extender. I see it’s stainless which wouldn’t match my African but I could live with that for the benefit of an extra round & a little extra weight, assuming good reviews.

I posted these on Sat but still unclaimed. Will dig deeper for something else to offer.

Many thanks, again!

What about a “ Scheme Phase”, which would be inserted somewhere after the youth phase, wherein the average married hunter strives to concoct plausible validations for hunting expenditures that result in the highest common denominator on the domestic bliss scale?

Just received my free dial from Leupold and looking for good weather to try out at the range. Indeed, Leupold has a $56 promo on dials presently so will order another for my 260g NP load. These stormy days always affects the wallet, don’t they?

PM sent

I‘ll claim those! Thanks!
