I would love to see photos of Tony’s gun. What’s the story on acquiring it? That gun could tell some stories for sure!I believe Hamilton Bowen only made 2 3/4” rifles so that the recoil wouldn’t be so nasty. SSK have made a decent amount of full 3” Nitro Ruger #1’s and some 600JDJ’s, 577 opened up for .620 bullets. I have heard of receivers cracking but can’t confirm if it’s happened. If everything goes right, the middle of next month I’ll be using my Hollis 577-100-750 for Cape Buffalo, used to be owned and used by Tony Sanchez Arino for years. Using 750 Woodleigh Solids and RE 15 with Dacron.
