Ruger No 1 *** Questions ***

Hi, Kevin--I've shot my friend's with his 300gr handloads and mine with 400gr Hornady DGX. I'd say recoil of mine is more noticeable. He has since replaced the buttpad with something a lot softer and the difference is even more marked. I'm hanging on to my .450-400 No. 1 more for sentimental reasons, since I don't foresee taking it to Africa any time soon--I've since acquired a hefty double rifle in the 3 1/4" version that will be a lot more pleasant to shoot.
Tom,
What double did you get and where are the pictures?
 
Come on Tom, you know we live for pictures of doubles.
I would far rather have pictures of doubles than pretty women. What is more it is all hell to control their recoil, and near impossible to regulate.

Preparing for the adventure of a lifetime. Looking forward to my 2026 Africa hunt with Van Wijk Safaris in South Africa.

What a great way to kick off our 2025 hunting season in South Africa.

This beautiful Impala ram was taken at just over 300 yards, took a few steps and toppled over.

We are looking forward to the next week and a half of hunting with our first client of the year.

Do you have any more copies of African Dangerous Game Cartridges, Author: Pierre van der Walt ? I'm looking for one. Thanks for any information, John [redacted]
