Greetings from Tennessee

I’ve been to parts of Africa when I was in the military, but that was decades ago mi doubt that I’ll ever get to hunt there, but I love reading about it and I have a love for Ruger No.1s, hence the screen name, and Mauser actions on sporting arms, so when I was searching for some information on a No.1 I came across this forum and it looked interesting so I thought that I’d join. I doubt that I’ll have much in the way of information to pass on, though I do have a degree in gunsmithing from an actual college, so maybe I can answer someone‘s question at some point. Mostly I joined just to read the stories and occasionally ask questions about something related to Africa as a whole and the guns used to hunt there.

Dear No.1Fan

Welcome to this great Forum.

Enjoy planning the destination for your next safari!

Happy hunting.

Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
To much to political shit, to little Africa :-)
Spending a few years hunting out west then back to Africa!

Hello. If you haven't already sold this rifle then I will purchase. Please advise. Thank you.

I doubt you are interested in any trades but I was getting ready to list a Sauer 404 3 barrel set in the 10-12 price range if your interested. It has the 404J, 30-06 and 6.5 Creedmoor barrel. Only the 30-06 had been shot and it has 7 rounds through it as I was working on breaking the barrel in. It also has both the synthetic thumbhole stock and somewhere between grade 3-5 non thumbhole stock
