Congratulations on a great rifle. Hearkens to a classic African time, with a Farquharson style action, and the classic African rimed Cartridge. I owned the same for several years. I immediately put a Red Decelerator on mine, looked really nice with the figured wood. With Hornady factory 400...

Is this the Ruger 77 Mk II, RSEX, with the integral milled quarter rib, barrel band sling swivel, and banded front sight, steel floorplate, and "ebony" forend tip? I have one in 30-06. Really nice rifle, from the days when Bill Ruger cared and developed quality firearms.

I wish Ruger will make another run of .44 Special, GP100, with a 4-to-5-inch barrel. Missed out on that last run.

Good idea I have to try that. Thanks

I mark any gun related/ reloading stuff I ship as MACHINE TOOLS

Good results! I checked the forcing cone, and bore of my. Flattop .44 Special, and to my naked (and weak eyes) looked good. On another note, has anyone tried "brush lapping" as opposed to fire lapping? John Barsness, writer for Rifle and Handloader described this process years ago, as opposed...

Now I'm curious, I'm going to check the rifling my Ruger .44 Special flattop, 4 5/8" barrel. I've shot about 150 rounds jacketed 200 grain HP charged with Unique, and 150 rounds of 200 grain lead SWC with 2400. Works fine. I'll report any issues

I have a Lipsey's Ruger #1 .35 Whelen 24 inch barrel. I bought this gun NIB off the web and have had a couple of problems (only #1 that I have had problems). First, the safety "froze" after 30 rounds, and would not disengage. Shipped to Ruger and came back with safety working. Now, I am...

I wouldn’t take less than $2200, being NIB, and associated reloading gear. These rifles are in demand . Try posting to AH ( African Hunting dot com) You will have some interest there. BUT, you have to post your price, no exceptions. I have had good results selling rifles with a mid range...

Very good advice on this forum, regarding best common calibers. First, I would not start reloading with a belted magnum (7mmRM). Just an extra step to set the headspace properly. 30-06 Springfield: Col Townsend Whelen said it best: "...never a bad choice." The 30-06 gives you a WIDE range of...

I'm glad I decided NOT to sell my NM Single Six 6.5" Convertible! Shipped in 1988, the trigger has a little creep, and slack, need to get an action job on it. The prices are steep now here In Louisiana as well, I wanted a convertible in the 5.5 inch barrel, but I'm just going to hold on to it...

Ain’t that the truth!

Thanks Doug Guy, I have been thinking of reamed Ruger BlackHawk cylinder to .45 ACP. Now I know, Will just look to buy a factory .45 Colt/.45 ACP convertible, and use gauges to enhance the chamber throats. My gunsmith can hone to dimension as needed. I really just want a New Model Blackhawk...

Here in South Louisiana, we are slowly being overrun by coyotes. I live outside city limits from a small town an hour NW of New Orleans, next to 200square miles of WMA,bottom land hardwoods and a huge swamp. Not unusual to hear and occasionally see coyotes. I’m still need to “punch my tag’ on...

. 38 Special, Crimson Trace Laser Grips on a Taurus 85, 3 inch barrel, loaded with.38 Special 158 gr. SWC-HP +P FBI Load. Two Flashlights next to my bed. 1st Backup: Ruger SR1911 LW, 200 JHP. 2nd Backup: Ruger.44 Special Flattop Blackhawk, 200 gr. Hornady XTP, 900 fps. Just because I like it...
