Allure of the Ruger No1

[cash_tx]

Perfect rifle/caliber combinations!

 

[Just a dude in BC]

I was just on a hunt with @BC Tal, each of us had a Ruger no.1 as a DG Gun. Mine in 500 NE, and his in 416 Rigby. Two buffalo and a sable were taken with the No.1's. I have nothing but respect for the rifles and own 5 of them:
(7x57, 300 h&h, 9.3x74r, 450/400 NE, 500 NE)

Here is the 500NE with the first game we took on the trip. We had been following up Buff tracks when we chanced upon some sable with a nice bull in the pack. my plains game rifle and ammo was in the truck. So I used the 500, penetration was.... more than adequate...

Beautiful! What I really like is that you haven't messed with them.
