Finally found a Ruger African in 275 Rigby

Thanks guys, and yes I saw some gunbroker prices, and pretty much gave up. Luckily they took trades, so I traded one of my howa heavy barrel 6.5 creedmoor's for it. The rifle with the 6x leupold was $1195 I ended up spending about $425 out of pocket. Thinking of trying something in the 160 grain weight. Should be good for where I hunt in Mississippi.

Saturday my Brother wanted me to go to a local gun and pawn shop that has a huge ruger sale every year. I didn't expect to find this at all. I ended up not getting it saturday, but it ate me up all day sunday. So I called this morning and left right after work to go get it. Right now it's set up with a fixed 6x leupold. Planning on norma brass and probably the 156 grain oryx. I really love the way the rifle feels, stock is very slim. Ordered a couple boxes on PPU 139 gr sp to try out this weekend. Heck I may end up using that brass. I've had good luck with PPU brass in my 9.3x62. Should make a sweet little whitetail setup. View attachment 299340

Had one in 6.5 Swede and while very pretty it was a very mediocre shooter, so I dumped it. I do have a No. 1 in .275 Rigby though and it shoots fine. Not the stubby full stock though, mine is the 24 inch model with express rear and white bead front.

I've been a little nervous about what accuracy may be like lol. I've only had one other m77 in 7mag and it wasnt the best shooter. I'm gonna try it how it is, and if it's not to great I may bed it and free float it.
