Long time reader, finally decided to join. I uses this forum a bunch in researching one of my favorite rifles, and see you guys have a few threads dedicated to it. For whatever reason, I always wanted a Ruger No 1. In researching, I decided I'd try to get in the most stout chambering offered from the factory so my search for a 458 Lott began. While researching the Lott and such, most of the results came from this forum. Anywho, while I hunted I came across a box of 19rds of 458 Lott at a gun show for about half price. Seller said he shot it once and said never again. I had that ammo for 2 years before finding the right rifle. In the meantime, I was pretty intimidated from hearing how unbearable it is to shoot, so was honestly pretty nervous to squeeze that trigger. It's stout for sure, but not nearly what I was expecting...and I fell in love. Been researching a 460 Weatherby so will probably create a thread for that quest, but there's my story and how I found yall!

Welcome to the site.
 
Welcome to AH adamsredlines! Nice to have you join us on the posting side.
 
welcome welcome welcome
 
Welcome aboard!
 
Welcome to you and your rifle. Nebraska is one of my favorite places to hunt
 
Hello adamsredlines,

Khomas Highland Hunting Safaris of Namibia, welcomes you to the greatest forum on earth.

If you enjoy serious recoil, the Ruger #1 rifle lends itself quite well for conversion to .500 Nitro 3” and will also then be worth more than any Weatherby chambering in resale value.

When you get around to it, I invite you to have a look into the Khomas Safaris website.

Best Regards,
Velo Dog.
 
I'm kind of a fan of the 458 caliber stuff, at least for now. I could see myself with a hoard of No 1 rifles in the future though.
 
Welcome to AH!!
 
Welcome to AH, that’s a beautiful gun you have there. It always worth the wait.
 
Welcome to the Forum.

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

An excellent AH member right here! I had a fantastic transaction with Hornedfrogbbq (I was the seller). His communication was first rate, payment was extremely fast, and I would have absolutely no reservations at all dealing with him again. Thank you, F!
Here we are, the last day of the show in Denver, it's been a good show but expecting a quiet day today. I will be back for-sure to do this show next year and maybe also do the one in Sacramento California.

On Monday I will be hitting the road driving from Denver and eventually make it down to Atlanta for the flight home.

its going to be a good year!
