Ruger Scout, a little gem...

I've had Ruger Scout for a couple of years now, and the more I shoot it, the more I like it. I originally set it up with the Burris 2.75x fixed power scout scope, which was pretty good. But then Burris came out with a 2-7x variable scout scope, and I switched to that for the option of a little more magnification. Couldn't be happier with that set up. Took two deer in Texas with it last fall, and am considering taking it to South Africa for plains game in a couple of years (once I get the cash saved up).
 
I had one and rebarreled to 338 FED what a great handy ugly duck. However my old buddy asked me about a gazillion times a week to sell it to him. So to shut him up I sold it. Bought a 550FS in 9.3x62 or I would be looking to build another 338 FED scout rifle.

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
