Good Gun Deals This Week

Neither did I, which countries
No idea, haven't looked into it yet. I am torn between saving for a double in 500 NE or getting a .505 bolt rifle sooner. Though, I think if I get a bolt, it will not slake my thirst for a DR!
 
For our guys in Texas. In Dallas. Ruger m77 Hawkeye African in .375 Ruger. $1k. New one with the detachable muzzle brake.

Here is a nice Dakota 76, 375 H&H with Zeiss 1.5-6x42 scope for only $4499. No LOP mentioned. Seller has lowered the price a couple of times, I believe he is motivated. This is a really nice high quality rifle and an excellent price for a Dakota 375 H&H with Zeiss scope.

Ruger in 458 Lott needs a home. I cannot convince myself to buy it.

I believe it’s a sporterized Arisaka? I don’t know if it’s a model 38 or 99? The Chrysanthemum engraving on top of the receiver is missing but a lot were sanded off after the war. There’s a 99 at my local Bass Pro with a clear Chrysanthemum but they also list it as unknown make, model and cartridge. I told them what it was but the guy looked at me like I had two heads. I guess cause it wasn’t a black gun.
Agree… almost certainly an Arisaka…

They list unknown caliber… if it’s a 6.5mm ammo is a challenge to find, but it’s out there, and reloading is pretty straightforward …

If it’s a 7.7, ammo can be incredibly hard to find, as can be components…

If it were in its original configuration it would probably be worth the asking price… I’m not sure it’s worth $75 in its current configuration.. and only then if someone wanted a inexpensive toy that’s pretty difficult and expensive to feed..

I just checked AH sponsor @RAVEN ROCKS PRECISION website. They have Norma 6.5 Japanese brass and Norma 7.7 Japanese factory hunting ammo available. I was surprised.
 
Been keeping an eye out on SimsonsLtd not much in Safari rifles - except for this

Pre 64 Supergrade in 458 Win mag - org finish by the looks of it

Being a newbie to collecting African Dangerous Game Rifles I am interested in what the veterans on this thread think of this listing on GI. Thanks

Not for me, but someone will love it. Are you a collector (new) or a collector/hunter? As far as a scoped rifle for hunting, the drop on the stock is excessive. I don’t know anything about the engraver, but honestly, I think I have seen better lions at least from programmed engraving/etching. In short, even if he is flexible on price, I would think there are better options for someone just getting into collecting. Rifles that Roger sells, with articles, etc., do have a premium with some buyers. I think this one will linger. Then again, somebody may buy it tomorrow. :)

Thanks for the info. I am a hunter/new collector and this just seemed interesting.

It may be for you. If I like something, I generally don’t think to much about the opinions of others. Well, unless the entire village points out I am a moron. The village has been correct before :)

For someone just getting into collecting, you could buy 3 spectacular .375s in the ballpark for what it would cost to purchase the rifle you inquired about. That being said, if you find yourself going back to the listing and you really like it, buy the thing. Again, it may sell quickly, as it only takes one person to really like it, but if you like it, and will not be heartbroken if somebody else buys it, you may want to wait a while and let the market speak (with silence) before making an offer.

Definitely won't be heart broken if it sells, which is a good test. Thanks again

To me it is the opportunity cost of $17,000 that I could buy a much more well known rifle maker.

Thanks for the Plug. 13.5 LOP. Yes, I am motivated to sell, however not wanting to give it away. I figured someone heading to Africa would want to bring this old girl along for another run at it.

Please keep an eye on my Gunbroker page (https://www.gunbroker.com/all/search?includesellers=6886615) for 700 Nitro Express Dummy ammo and cases. I have original Brass Extrusion Labs Limited 1980's run deep drawn cases with Woodleigh bullets. I also have a bunch of other stuff in African calibers to be posted soon.

Just wanted to say thanks for the excellent customer service. Ordered some 9.3x62 brass and the delivery was a little short. An email through your website Contact Us link was replied to the next day with the tracking info for the correction. Good pricing coupled with great customer service will see returning customers every time. Thanks again!

X5i scope is perfect - thanks for an easy transaction! Buy with confidence.
Made it to Augusta Georgia yesterday for a meeting, hunt bookings are looking good for 2026 and 2027, had a great time on our Alabama safari shot a rutting deer at 200 yards with 7mm PRC near Huntsville and then headed on to Butler Alabama and semi guided my first deer ever shot a very nice broken off 8 point with hunter there and spend a few days on 1100 acres hunting preserve awesome place!

I am righthanded, so not interested in the rifle, but I have a 375 RUM and 350 gr bullet loading data is very hard to come by. If you could reply with information regarding your loads I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Ray Boone, Leavenworth, WA

Hello - I was looking at your post from several years ago regarding the Winchester 300 H&H. Any chance you still have the lefty M70 300 H&H for sale?
Thank you, Mike
