I absolutely love your rifle and love the .458 Winchester Magnum calibre . Here is a nice American brown bear which fell to my own .458 Winchester Magnum ( mine uses a 25 inch Douglas Premium barrel ) .

I used a 500 grain Nosler Partition . Happy hunting to you .

 

[Andrew Short]

Gah I love that. Very nimble for sure.

 

[CBH Australia]

Nice, I hope you get a nice bear , they would make a cool trophy.
Those big foot prints put things into perspective for someone who hasn’t seen one, Me!

 

[Brent in Az]

Grizzinator.....I like it!

 

[RR 314]

Love it. Have a similar plan for a lightweight .375 but can’t find a .22” Proof CF anywhere!

 

[Badboymelvin]

Absolutely love your rifle and just like Professor Mawla, love the .458 Winchester Magnum!

NICE but a bit light I'm glad you went for the magna porting. I bet she would be a noisy SOB with a bite at both ends.

Nice Rifle. Very pretty. I have few rugers and a few cz550's in 458 win mag. Havent tried any of them yet. Recently got couple of cases of Barnes 450gr ammo's. Stocked up with brass and bullets for reloading. I need to take some time off and do some range time. Your rifle is gorgeous.

Not too many people have good thing to say about Nosler partition for DG. How and what is your experience with them.

I can only speak for myself . I have successfully used them for broadside shots on Australian water buffalo . I have used them to hunt four American bears ( two black bears , two grizzly bears ) . I have also used them to shoot two marauding Royal Bengal tigers ( under the authorization of the Sundarban Forest Department ) and a marauding cheetah ( also known as Asiatic leopard ) under the authorization of the Maulvi Bazaar Forest Department . I have also successfully taken wild boars with them ( Bangladeshi , American , Australian and European ) . Too many to count . I have never had even the slightest problem .

This may also be of interest to you .

While not dangerous game , I successfully took this ibex with a single 250 grain Nosler Partition fired from a .338 Winchester Magnum .

 

[krish]

That is a beautiful trophy.

@krish
Thank you very much . Are your Ruger .458 Winchester Magnums the Model 1 or the Model 77 ?

 

[krish]

Model 77 tang safty. I dont think they made mark ii in regular safties. I think i have over time aquired 5 or 6 of them. And one Ruger #1.

 

[cpr0312]

Like the look! And the name!!

 

[Ray B]

Very nice rifle. I'd prefer the ocular lens to be a little farther forward, particularly on a 458.

 

[flatwater bill]

Saf.K..............beautiful and well thought out rifle.........would make a great African gun as well..............best of luck with it....................FWB
