Never put absolute trust in any safety. Years ago I was practicing cycling a Model 70 I was planning to take to Africa. I was at home using snap caps. I flipped off the three position safety and I heard the firing pin drop. Scariest snap I ever heard. I tried it numerous times and about once...

Thanks for the link. Very, very tempting.

Thanks Red Leg!

I just received a call from Mr. Perodeau, the gunsmith recommended by Red Leg. He informed me that the gun is in great shape and should be perfectly safe to shoot. The minimum barrel wall thickness measurements were .028 and .029. The chokes were .010 and .020 which should be Improved Cylinder...

Thanks. Mine is a more basic working gun compared to the gorgeous gun you purchased. Mine was 2 1/2 inch (63mm) but was converted to 2 3/4 (70 mm). It is currently in the hands of the gunsmith recommended by Redleg. As part of his inspection I’ve asked him to evaluate the chamber work to confirm...

Red Leg: Thanks for taking time to give me the detailed advice. I will definitely follow your advice and have your guy in OK give it a thorough inspection. Whatever he discovers I’ll still be happy to have it in my collection but it would be nice to get to fire a few shells through it.

.375 Ruger may be great in Alaska but if you go to Africa and your ammo doesn’t arrive with you (it happens) you may be SOL if you try to find .375 Ruger. .375 H&H will be found almost anywhere hunting ammo is sold in Africa.

My favorite combination: a Cohiba Esplendido and 18 year-old Macallan.
