Ruger No. 1 African Adventure Series The Buffalo 450/400 Nitro

well you need to take it there so its not pining for africa and getting depressed......as i hear most people in usa are in therapy....... dont let it happen to this rifle........:E Big Grin:

I agree with you and Charlie. It should be but I'm not hunting big ones anymore and this one is for the big ones.
 
Yes the big ones! I would have a heck of a big game battery with this one....a 416.......a 458 Lott and then a 450/400.

Is the 416 Rigby's or Remington? I haven't shot neither
 
Yep my 416 is a M77 guide gun in 416 Ruger. The model one was made in a 416 Rigby at one point. A friend here on AH just bought one of those from another member!

I remember when it (M77) was available in Rigby and a friend had one and I think his son has it now. M77 is a pretty rifle but I'm partial to M70 and I think they do have it in Remington's 416 which I have no interest in.
 
Bump!
 


Don't bump it, buy it!

YEAH as phil said........and well i listened to my naughty monkey.......so charlie stop fkn around and just say oh the monkey said i had to do it!!!!!!
