Congrats on getting the 416 sold.

Are you sure you want the 470 more than a buff hunt?

 

[Heym 88]

Wheels....not sure I follow ya.

Heym, sorry, sometimes I am not very clear. There can be a disconnect between my mind and what I write.

I was just saying are you sure you want to spend money on the 470 or would you rather spend the money on a buff hunt.

All the best.

I think he was confused because he never mentioned hunting buff in the thread, at least not that I saw.

 

[Heym 88]

I don't understand why I can't buy my .470 and go buffalo hunting. One didn't have much to do with the other. Wheels,,I see what your saying, but I think I can get both done.

Heym, I apologize for what I said. I never meant to imply that you couldn't get both done. Sometimes my attempts at humor do not translate very well when I type.

Glad you got the 416 sold.

All the best.

 

[Heym 88]

No need to apologize...no offense taken. If I sell a gun..it wont be my doubles LOL. Love them too much

 

[matt85]

I hope your able to get your 470 soon! I also dream of a classic double rifle in 470 NE but its not a dream that will come true any time soon. (i need my money to get to Africa)

I believe RSM stands for Ruger Safari Magnum. Another model is the Express, usually also listed as RSM, but only in mag calibers because the Express also came in .30-06 and .270Win. I think so anyway...

Ses I was very jealous of your 338 until I finally found one I know everyone refers to the RSM as Ruger Safari Magnum. However I've heard Ruger's other Acronyms have meaning, such as RSI meaning the gun came with scope Rings, Sights, and in the International version (full stock). So it makes me wonder if RSM really was started as Rings, Sights, Magnum???? Does anyone know for sure?

I have the Express versions in 270 win, 30-06, 7mm Rem Mag, 300 Win Mag, and 338 Win Mag. I've seen one in 25-06 but heard there was only a handful made. Anybody know more about these?

I think the three real discerning features of these guns are the machined integral quarter rib, the sights, and the beautiful wood that was used on them.

They are fantastic guns! My niece, Dana, used one of my 30-06 Ruger Express'. She shot it 3 times at targets in Africa at various ranges, dead on each time. And 4 more shots, 4 kills

@ActionBob , heck of a nice collection you have accumulated in addition to your Big Bores

I tend to rotate my stock fairly frequently thus my .338 should be long gone,,,, but it aint. LOL. Its one of my favorites, glad you found one, the .338 is hard to find. As to the RSM, I am not certain either. Its one of those things, like the meaning of AR. Most assume it means Assault Rifle which is incorrect, it stands for Armalite Rifle. Find that 25-06 and you will be in Ruger heaven!
