Ruger no1 chambered in 450/400 3" nitro express. This rifle is in excellent condition and has a Leupold vx- freedom 1.5-4x20 optic with duplex reticle. The original box is included with the manual. Near mint. Hardly shot, like new. Bought for upcoming safari, but going a different route since all I am hunting for is plains game this trip. Excellent buffalo rifle! Comes with 60 rounds of Factory Hornady DGS 400gr Solids. 50+ once fired Hornady brass, 50 count Factory Hornady DGS 400gr bullets AND Hornady lightly used die set with shell holder. Priced for quick sale to fund another rifle. $2,750 firm. FREE SHIPPING to lower 48 only.

Do you happen to know what weight or contour barrel is on this rifle? Most were C weight barrels, but a few were D weight.
 
Good deal on this rifle package, with ammo components and dies.

These are hard to find these days, and with this deal, no probelms.

That is a nice rifle with nice wood

I have the same gun, with the "D" weight barrel and want nothing less.
Mine weighs 9.5 pound/ w/o scope and sling about 10 .5 pounds with.

These rifles handle very well for the chambering. I have a Leupold 4x on mine.

Just aim and shoot.

Good luck with your sale.
 
Thank you. Yes sir. Recoil not an issue due to the extra weight. Love it and hate to sell but have my eye on a great deal on a double.
 
The #1s are my favorite rifles. This one is a beautiful example of what Ruger once built.
 
On the Lipseys site they list a model 11385
At the top of the page the description says it has a 24" "D" barrel , at the bottom of the page it says it is a 24" barrel ?

They also list a model 11324 , that has a 24" " C " barrel

This is a heavy D. Rifle weighs over 9.5lbs.

Not familiar on how lipseys catalogs their firearms.

Sir, I think I have been writing to you about the purchase of the HK 639 rifle under an email "Tt Jake." If this is you, then I am truly interested. I am just trying to verify identify. Tt Jake is asking for a cash transaction. No disrespect intended, Just trying to verify who I am talking to. Thank you. Respectfully. Dan

Hey my friend, I am returning to SA for a Cape Buffalo hunt in June 26. My outfitter has suggested Highveld but I have read some poor reports. Wondering how satisfied you were with your mounts from them? Thanks in advance.
Finally back to somewhat normal I missed reading the messages and posts
Remember I will be at the ISE show in Denver Colorado for 8-12 January, and after the show I will be available for meetings anywhere in the USA I will traveling around to meet with old and new clients, let me know and we will set up a meeting!
Beautiful Aardwolf for our Spanish client and good friend Alberto
