I just purchased this Dakota #10 in 243 Winchester and can't wait to take it to the range and shoot it next week.

I have to say it is the most elegant firearm I've ever owned!

Show us your single shots....

Unless they figured out some way to fix that, they can't take dry firing. Get yourself a set of snap caps for it before you dry fire it once. I you have been dry firing stop immediately.

Ruger #1's are 1000% tougher, but it is still not a good idea.

Yes, its a Guerini Armi, the model is called Chamois EELL.

I have 2 Ceaser Guerini shotguns that are made in Italy. I don't know if there is any relationship between the guns/manufactures. But mine too are also very good looking long guns.

Thank you, it is in calibre 5,6x57R.

Does that cartridge have a weird neck wall thickness like the 5,6x57. Mine is still in bureaucracy hell somewhere. I found a M66 Mauser in perfect shape with an unmolested Swarovski 3-12x56. It's at the shop with everything else I have my name on it.
 
A lot of gun for black grouse and capercaillie, you must use it on foxes and roe?

Yes, it does, I am planning to have it rebored to 6,5x57R or 7x65R in the future.

It is a tad to powerful for black grouse and Capercaillie but if I hold high it is no problem with excessive meat damage. For fox and roe deer it is just about perfect, for beaver aswell.
 
As a right-hander who shoots left the majority of the time, I like ambidextrous rifles. So I'm a fan of single-shot falling-blocks & their simplicity. They work really well for a lot of the hunting that I do.

I often start hunting in the fall with my my Winchester 1885 Traditional Hunter in 405 Win or Browning 1885 in 44 Magnum because the regulations allow it during the primitive season.

My Ruger No. 1A in 303 British is a sentimental favorite & a great choice for where I hunt.

It's nice to be able to open a safe & grab a single-shot or a single-shot or another single-shot. Winchester, Browning, Uberti, Ruger? I've got options in seven different chamberings to choose from.

I really like the compact size of my Ruger No. 1 RSI chambered in 275 Rigby. Shooting Rigby ammo (aka 140gr Hornady InterLock SP) with a 2-7x33 scope, it works really well as a deer rifle.

I've taken the most deer with my Ruger No. 1A in 6.5x55 shooting 140gr Partitions. Either I've been very lucky or this rifle excels at dropping deer in their tracks because zero tracking is usually required.

Nice Report! Im about to pull the trigger on booking the LDE with Patrick. I have been talking about it with him for about 3 yrs now. Romain hit me up the other day with an offer I can't refuse for 2027.

Andrew, I commented that your on 375 H&H for sale was the fair price.

Like I commented, my classic stainless has the original 24” barrel.

Did you buy yours with the barrel already cut down to 21” or did you do it (or a gunsmith)?

You might have edited your post on the PH in the Bubye. I know the PH and is a wonderful person and a fmaily man and runs a succesful business in Zim and just doesn't want the attention that the internet offers, the ugly kind.

Hello,

Am I reading your post correctly to say that the Tsavo rifle will be coming out with a composite stock later this year? I ask because I had been looking very hard for a Tsavo, but if there is going to be a composite stock model I will wait for that.

Thank you for your time,

Andrew
