I’ll take one set, pm inbound, thank you

I had Wayne at Oregunsmithing cut down, re bore and re chamber a Browning M71, originally in 348 Win. It was a 24" now it's 16.5" 50-110, and cycles and shoots 50 Alaskan and 500 L max perfectly. He's going to do one of these Ruger no1's the same, so I can shoot all the .510's I have

I have seen a few 475 Linebaugh examples come up for sale, but they were priced from $2,300-$2,900, and although they are in .475, I would need to still get it rechambered. With the cost of the Rugers I purchased, I could rechamber and bore them for about $450 (my price for making one 50-110.)...

Unfortunately, they have never made what I want. There in lies the problem.

One is going to be a 16.5” 50-110, still heavy, but much more manageable with half the barrel lopped off, and a .510 hole thru it. It will join many more different 50-110 designs, none as modern as this Ruger No 1, by a hundred years.

I might need to rebarrel of I can’t find someone that can bore it in .475 caliber. I picked up two no1’s that will both get converted from their ( custom built) current long range calibers. One is 32-40, the other is 38-56, both pristine with 27” heavy barrels. No idea who did the work, as the...

I know and I have used, and will continue to work with Wayne York, at “Oregunsmithing” I’ve been very happy with his work. I have a couple friends that have been happy with JES Reboring as well, but unfortunately neither has the tooling to re bore in .475 caliber. This is what I need to find...

I have a beautiful Ruger No1, in a small caliber I do not want to shoot, and would like to get the rifle bored out to .475 to shoot 480 ruger, 475 Linebaugh and 475 Maximum. The barrel is a custom long range 30 caliber, almost 1” diameter at the end, so there’s plenty of material to bore it...

Per conversation I’ll take it, thank you

Sent you a pm

One thing to think about with shooting bears, they usually have a nice layer of fat to plug up a wound channel, so I believe a good pass thru with exit wound helps them bleed out and hopefully leave a trail, in case you don’t drop them at the shot. I’ve use heavy 44, 45 Colt, and 454 on many. A...

I still have my 9.5” 32 and dual cylinder 22’s, plus lots of other caliber Single Six customs.
