I think a double 45-70 would be very cool! Or 500 magnum as well

Ruger #1 in 404J and 30-30 win. I'd be in for both of them. The 30-30 in the International.

Lipsey's released that chambering in an RSI model. I saw of few of them pop up on GunBroker recently.
The 22 Hornet got released in an RSI as well. It took a lot of will power to stop me from buying one...

Ruger #1 in 450 Nitro Express, 26 inch barrel, heavy profile, fixed shallow V rear sight and mercury recoil reducer in the stock. It should weigh 9.5 to 10# to tame some recoil that is fierce in the big caliber #1s.
Ruger 77 Hawkeye African in 458 Win Mag, 23 inch barrel fixed shallow V rear sight,
double recoil lugs Devcon bedded, recoil reducer in stock, 1 inch recoil pad, weigh at least 8.75 pounds.

I'd like to see them make a Winchester Model 70 since Winchester seems loathe to meet demand.

+1. That was my thought as well. I could see 50 people getting behind it.

Its a great round, like I said 338WM type performance if you reload with less powder, recoil, muzzle blast. I've become obsessed with a few of the 30-06 based cartridges. Also the 280 AI and 35 Wheelen, those two have larger followings and there are factory ammo and rifles available.

I’ll play the game.
I’d take a right hand Ruger M77 african in .275/7x57. Preferably with a bit higher grade of wood over the standard grade usually used on M77s. I actually really like the M77 II with the three position wing safety. I’m in the middle of refinishing the stock on my .300 win mag after years of abuse.

I’d like a no 3 in 303 British I’ve got a pretty good set of mits on me and always found the no 1 to feel tight around my hands. I’m sure I couldn’t find another 49 people to agree though.

In order of interest:
M77 African
7x57/275 Rigby. I would buy three if it helped get them made.
.318 Westley Richards. I would again buy three.
7x64. I would buy two.
9.3x64 I would buy two.
8x68s. I would buy two.
338-06. I would buy two.
.25-06
7.5x55 Swiss
I’m not particularly interested in a number one myself.
Edited to add: on these I would be willing to put money where my mouth is. Randy’s is a trusted enough place I would be willing to prepay him to get it all going.

A run of 300/375 H&H matched pairs would be something else. Especially in a RSM!

I think M77 African .404 Jeff is your path to 50.

Hello,
I saw your post selling left hand rifles. Do you have any additional pics of the .416 Rem mag?
Thank you.
