So, the blame for my Winchester M70 Safari Express .375 H&H rests solely on me. That was only 5 short months ago. Then came a Ruger #1 "Boddington Buffalo" in .450/.400 3" three months later, for which this forum is at least partially responsible. And now, 5 months after this all started, a Ruger RSM in .458 Lott lives with me. This one is all on you people!
She's a big, beastly beauty - probably 90+% overall; and I can't wait to shoot her. I have Norma brass on the way, and already have a supply of 500 gr. Hornady Interlock (not the DGX) that I've had on hand for a long time. I've decided I will have it properly bedded and "gone over" before shooting it, so as to avoid stock splits, etc. I also want to have a KickEez pad and Graco mercury reducer installed; so will just have it all done up front, along with a trigger job (it's horrific now), and some sharp edges smoothed out inside the action. I've found a gunsmith in Oregon to do the work and feel very comfortable with him. I will forward pics after, along with my assessment of his work.
I will add a Leupold 2.5X FX-II Ultralight scope in low Ruger rings, an NECG white front bead, and NECG sling to round out the package. Updates will be added to this thread as they come in. Thanks a LOTT guys!
