Two more for the safe

”Purdee” damn great deal on classic maker/calibers … I don’t think I have a favorite!? :sneaky: I would have came home w/ both also BUT one difference: gotta avoid the “Warden Stare” by sneaking into the basement & safely stashing in the gun safe!
 
Very cool!!! I always kept my eyes open for a ruger number one in 300 h&h. I'd definitely pay $1900 for the pair.

Ok enablers, I went to pick A gun today and brought home two. :A Banana:

I answered an ad for a Ruger No.1 in 300 H&H (Boddington African Adventure Series Kudu). As the conversation advanced he said he also had another Ruger to sell. So I drove to his place today and looked at both…and brought home both.

When I got home the Warden was shaking her head and laughing at as I presented them and said “I don’t really understand why you needed two of them”. :oops: Well I looked her right in the eye and said “Neither do I !!

Here are my new-to-me Ruger No.1 300H&H and Ruger M77 Hawkeye African in 9.3x62…$1900 for the pair and a box of ammo for the 9.3x62. Did I do ok you think?
Sorry, pic quality substandard iPad stuff.

@RandyF
I'm glad you took my advice and got both. They are lovely looking rifles.
It is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.
Enjoy them. If you don't like the 300 you can always gift it to me for safe keeping.

Wow, congrats!!! One heck of a deal, and hard to pass.

Here's the target for the NorthForks - 25yds off a bag, iron sights. Hunting leopards over dogs the range won't be more than that.

Flew in an airshow in Smyrna years ago, beautiful country.

Best regards,

Franco
