I think I would stick with the 450-400 NE. I have a Ruger No.1 H 450-400 NE. Hind sight being what is, if I was starting over buying guns… I would have purchased a Heym or Merkel double rifle to start with.

One of our LGS’s has a used Left handed Ruger African in 375R. It is a older model that is unported, has one cross bolt and the front sling point is on the stock. It was mine and I traded it and $200 for a new model with barrel band sling, two cross bolts and ported. Reach out to them and ask...

I also agree. I talked with guys from Hornady at the SHOT show. I was told they are making ammo as fast as they can. Also that Safari Cartridges are a limited run for them. A guy from Shooters World Powder pointed out that we Americans don’t realize that the rest of the world has conflicts...

Rifle is sold. Thanks for the interest and inquiries.

Prairie dogs. Other than Armadillo what else would one shoot with a 450/400?

No problem at all.

Took me a minute to get the box.

No it is not a rebarrel. Ruger model 11365 It is a Lipsey's special run. The barrel is a C weight. Ruger made around 250 of these rifles for Lipsey's.

Up for sale is a Ruger No.1 45-70 I have not fired the rifle. It has a 26” barrel Has the rings with it. Has the original box. it will come with a 1-4 power Nikon African with a 1” tube #4 reticle. The tube is pinched ahead of the front lenses. The glass is not cracked. I took this scope as...

The fit and chamber price for a Ruger #1 from CCM was $525 if I recall correctly. Cost extra due to the extractor cut. Then the barrel and any other work.

I received a reply from Country Custom Metalsmithing on converting a 375 Ruger to 416 Ruger. I have contacted a couple of other gunsmiths by email and phone with no reply. As business owner if you are not chasing work when plenty of work, you won’t have any work when things slow down. Looks...

The parent case is the 375 Ruger. It is the middle cartridge in the picture in my previous post. Slight shoulder on the case. It is reported to be about 50-60 fps slower than the 458 win mag.

At the SHOT Show this year H&S Precision told me that the new Ruger stocks would be out in June. So it looks like they might be ahead of schedule. The guide gun stock while ugly adds weight to the gun. Axle2010 is right the 416 in the African (right handed) kicks but not all that bad with...

Ruger did make a 416 Ruger African in a left hand configuration. Model 47152 I search for one daily on the gun boards. If you hand load you can get some pretty impressive loads in the 330 grain area. But then there is the allure of the 416 Ruger or even the 458 Ruger Wildcat. A standard...
