Newest Dangerous Game Rifle

[CAustin]

Well folks after searching for over a year I finally found and acquired a Ruger Model #1 in 375 H&H.
I held out for stainless with the salt and pepper laminated stock which turned out to be harder to find than I thought. Can't wait to take this to the range. So my African battery now includes the 375, a 416 and a 458 Lott.
@Pawprint Safaris we will need to try the new addition out!

Could be black bear or a bison!

From left to right the 300 grain 375 H&H, 400 grain 416 Ruger and the mighty 500 grain 458 Lott.

That's a great looking Ruger. I've just recently been really getting into the Ruger #1 rifles. Man, they are super hot looking.

Good luck with that one, it's a fine acquisition.

On the left is the Model #1 my wife gave me 16 years ago in 300 WinMag and the 375 I just got on the right. I think they go nicely together.

Thank you sir! I like the number ones a lot and have used them in the field both in the states and in Africa.

Glad you finally found one Charlie! Patience is a virtue, glad you didn't settle, it's a great looking pair.
Cheers,

Had a No. 1 in .375 H&H. Let her go in a moment of weakness (in favor of a Freedom Arms .475 Linebaugh). Should've had held onto the H&H. Next time...

 

[CTDolan]

BTW, the FA was an absolute gem. Just shouldn't have allowed the No. 1 to go, in the process.

 

[spike.t]

great you found one.....so now @CAustin does this mean you can start buying the other no1`s on offer here now?

 

[siml]

Charlie, wishing you straight and good shooting with your new rifle. Should try spots.......

A friend collects Rugers and has a #1 that is similar but has acid etching on the action. I couldn't tell from the photo if yours was so inscribed. With or without, they are really cool rifles.

Cant get much better than Ruger No1!

Looks nice in the Stainless.

Congrats!

 

[Clayton]

You do have good taste Charlie.
