Rifle is SOLD.

Unlikely your Ruger has a 1-10 twist. That would be abnormally fast for this round and would be doubtful Ruger would go that route. Unless its a custom barrel...

Do it! Be a great rifle.

BTW, the Ruger did sell. The Browning seems to be a good shooter and I like it.

Mine is from 1984 and still has the release inside the trigger bow. And I dont know about this rifle, but mine has a second recoil lug bedded forward of the receiver in the barrel channel.

Have a nice used mid 80's Miroku Browning in .30-40 Krag. All original but no box or papers. I purchased a new Win that is drilled for sights and these Browning's never were and old eyes and open sights dont make for good shooting. Bluing is nice but for some light scratching on the receiver...

Getting the shell deflector to reliably kick cases out of the action may take some fiddling. For my purposes, if I get them out most of the time, thats OK but I dont have 100 percent. The deflector is adjustable however.

I had one years ago in 06, but it was boring in that caliber, I have so many! In .30 Rem its almost a Unicorn and will be more interesting I think.

I know this is old, but just today I snagged a pretty rare 30 Express in .30 Remington. Most by far are 30-06 and the smaller Rem rounds are rarely seen, this is the only .30 Rem I have seen and it wasnt even on my radar, was looking at something else when it popped up about 10 days ago...

I bet I would like that, but it sounds like a small boutique type brewery for locals only.

From an obvious non hunter, that is calling members out for some supposed infraction. Probably wont be here long, thankfully.

The .300 is a nice round, I have an 80's model 70 with fancy walnut that was a limited run for a distributor in that cal, shoots good.

Recently added a coveted .303 British to the fold, to replace one sold several years ago and missed.

Interesting.

Maker? Description?

Dont put that Vegemite in the Chili Bob, you'll ruin it! :p

Or maybe the .338 Vegemite!!

I could have the barrel engraved as ".338 Win mag, the only round more powerful than the .35 Whelen!". :love::love::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:(y)(y);););):p:p:p

Less common anyway. I know they dont chamber it anymore. Found an extra mag for it on ebay the other day, not an easy find either. Most of the sellers call their Mk 1 mags Mk2 mags or interchangeable but they are not the same.

Like most but the very early guns, its "made" in Belgium, assembled in Portugal. Its the Safari model with engraved scenes on the receiver.

Of course never having owned or fired one, that might all change.

It felt good to me when I saw it at the LGS. LOP is almost 14", straight comb, no monte carlo. Medium profile barrel.

In what way?

Yes it is. Mk 11 Safari. Never had one of these so look forward to trying it.

I did sell the one I had, an early Ruger 77, but then turned around and bought this which I pick up next week, can yust hardly vait!

Like I said in my post, I have too many hunting type rifles that will never get hunted, and besides Bob, I have a .338 Winnie..... (y) :ROFLMAO::p

I have some .50 AK brass on hand to reform to .45/75 Winchester for my Uberti 1876 lever action. I also have some .458 Win mag brass in some amounts. Just for giggles, I compared powder capacity between one each of the two using ball powder. They both held the same amount of powder, exactly.

Well fellers, last bump and I'll move it elsewhere. Thought this would be gone by now.

DIdnt know they did this cal in SS and Lam. I have the blued walnut version. Lots of HP when loaded up.

I liked Yellowstone and 1923 very much. Not so much 1883, too many annoying characters. Never tired Tulsa King

Due to safe overflow and no room for more safes, this one is on the block. Almost new, has a whopping 75 rounds or so thru it, just enough to know it works right and shoots. Comes with about 175 pcs of brass, R-P and Hornady, all used but a few new. In the box with all acc. and unused rings...

I know this is old but been a long back and forth about the abilities of the Whelen as compared to the .338 Win and I have always contended that given similar pressure levels, the larger cased .338 will rule the roost and I have posted this before in another thread but...with top loads in a 25"...

Just saw this on a news feed, sad event, condolences to family and friends. RIP

Not that close, but I did have a much anticipated trip to Zambia planned when my wife was diagnosed with cancer, so had to cancel that. Her cancer is now in remission, but it wouldn't feel right dashing off to Africa while she still deals with it, so probably not much chance of it happening...

Unless they just dropped a new one, the blued S was a 24" barrel, the A is 22"

That could get interesting.

109 here would have us mossbacks all melt!

Had 82 the other day, today was just over 60.

Rear sight looks identical to the one that just arrived on my Quigley after over 3 years. Its an MVA, Montana Vintage Arms.

Some of you must have seen these out now? K1-S is the medium weight, but is still 22" and not 24". Stainless and walnut, several on GB, all appear to have real nice walnut stocks. A bit pricey but nice rifles. I think if I didnt already have the African 77 I would pop for one of these.

Here ya go. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1105362821

I had the .303 for a while, but sold it as I just didnt get along well with the rifle, I found it very awkward especially with a scope mounted. It shot well, but I think I have been spoiled by the Ruger No.1 system which is much more user friendly at least to me.

Just delivered after a 3 year wait. Shiloh Quigley in .45-110 Sharps. Havent shot it yet. Also have a few Ruger No.1's in various cals., .257 R, .405 Win, and .475 Linebaugh.
