For Sale 450/400 NE Ruger No. 1 New Unfired With Starter Package

This is a comment from Classic Sporting Arms, a website specializing in No 1s.

Also made, but never cataloged, were about 30 1H in 450/400 N. E. in the D weight barrel. All previous 450/400’s made were with a C weight barrel.

Pay no attention to the smarty-pants from Colorado. He's just yanking your chain! :)

I loved my 450-400 (I had a Boddington Buffalo) and put nearly 600 rounds through it in preparation for a Cape Buffalo hunt (I ended up hunting with a 450 Dakota, but that's another story).

Try to find some 400gr Hornady to practice with. A nice 2,000 fps load to start with, will get you familiar with the rifle without beating you up.

I do recommend you replace the hard Ruger pad with something like a Pachmayr Decelerator. Makes the rifle more comfortable to shoot and I appreciated the extra length of pull.

I would love to have another 450-400 one day....a lovely cartridge!
 
I bought this a few years ago, (been discontinued) it has never been fired. It is mint... not a mark on it. With this package comes 120 rounds of brand new Hornady brass, RCBS safari dies with a CH4 neck sizing die ... all never used. I’m gonna be firm on this because I don’t care whether it sells. 1675.00 takes it shipping included from FFL to your FFL only. A chance to own a piece of Africa without a major piece of your financial being.

Is this still for sale ? If it is I will take it.

That is an excellent buy. The 450/400 is a great caliber and can be loaded down for deer or up for very large game.

Everyone always thinks about the worst thing that can happen, maybe ask yourself what's the best outcome that could happen?
