Any .577 NE rifles in use out there?

Here is a couple pictures of my 577.

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.

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 have 100 new PPU .375 H&H brass in my stash that is reserved for future hunting loads. In my experience with other calibers like .308 it beats the common USA made Rem / Win / Fed brass for uniformity, brass quality and durability. I just opened a new bag of Remington .375 brass this morning. And was disappointed once again. Banged up necks, uneven mouth, and two pieces had wrinkles in the neck.

Another fellow here, I think @Excessexpress has a .577 nitro Ruger No1.
Good way to get one imo
‘Tis not I who possesses such a beast, though I have missed out on a couple of doubles in auctions. One very nice St Etienne built underlever hammer gun in .577 2 3/4 in particular….. but I digress, I own no 577. For now….

Yes, now I realise it’s AussieSteve on a different forum. My mistake.

Hello there. I’ve been wanting to introduce myself personally & chat with you about hunting Nilgai. Give me a call sometime…

+1 Great to deal with. I purchased custom rifle. No issues.

I saw you were looking for some Swift A-Frames for your 9.3. I just bought a bulk supply of them in the 285g. version. If Toby's are gone, I could let 100 go for $200 shipped you are interested.
Thanks,
Gary

Booked with Harold Grinde - Gana River - they sure kill some good ones - who'd you get set up with?
