I purchased 3 of these rifles from the Original Owner about 7 years ago. His son kept two and I bought the rest. He said they had only been fired once or twice and maybe not at all?..$2300 Sipped lower 48 Alaska can pay actual shipping Costs.I recently moved to Flowrida central west coast.

Do you know what barrel contour is on your rifles? There was a small number of them that had a heavier contour.

They only made 250 of each rifle. I belive they are all the same?

What’s the difference between a Ruger No1 450/400 and the Boddington branded version ?

I shot this Buff in Zim with my other Boddington #1 450/400. They work well on DG. I would also use it on an Ele.
