Sounds like great deal to me.

Too bad the bolt handle is on the wrong side for me

 

[AZDAVE]

@93marlin Well I have a solution, you just need to shoot it while standing on your head and the bolt will be on the right side Your PH will have to have a really short set of sticks but I am sure that he can help you out

 

[93marlin]

That's a thought. I was thinking about a hacksaw and JB Weld......

 

[AZDAVE]

I have some JB weld and a hacksaw that could be worked into the deal.

I like these first year Hawkeye Africans. Ruger later added the forend tip and muzzle break. This model has bluing that is more of a matte finish then the later guns. African PHs usually hate muzzle brakes. That front screw really needs to be torqued down tight, as noted. I’ve owned one of these and one of the guide guns in stainless with the laminated stock. They were both more accurate than one might expect. No problems getting close to 1 inch grooves. It’s a great cartridge. The PH I last hunted with in Namibia carried a guide gun in his caliber, and told me it had a really caught on with other PHs in the country.
