9.3x62 cape buffalo

[MS 9x56]

They have offered the No.1-S in both the 62 and 74r a few years back. I've owned the 74r that I bought new from the dealer. Shot well, but I prefer bolt rifles, so sold it.

I stand corrected.

Ruger needs to produce a no.1 in 505 Gibbs that would sort the men from the boys - Note I identify as a Man but should they do it - I will quickly identify as a boy if asked to shoot it !

Odinsraven, I never in my wildest dreams imagined you as a candy’s** but I stand corrected. Really, what if you needed to use an actual large bore?

I need to find one of these 505 Gibbs for my collection.

I have one in a CZ550 - that is little enough meat imagine a No.1 did fire a 458 in it - I am not adverse to large calibres but - that 458 was a lesson I will not forget !

Apparently 9.3 can be had in 320 grain - as Doctari has said velocity on DG is not an issue - so maybe a game changer ? I observed a Buff hit with 350 gr 375 - went down like a 416 / 458

I also have a CZ 550 in the full stock version in 9.3x62. I have experienced shooting a 470 NE double owned by a friend of mine.

Ruger made one in .458 Win Mag. that'd be more than enough for me!
