Morning everyone,

Have a second rifle for sale, too: a .458 Winchester Magnum in a Ruger M77 “Original Tang Safety Model Rifle” magnum manufactured in 1978 (serial #73-71xxx, https://www.ruger.com/service/productHistory/RI-M77.html). The rifle was imported to Germany in November of ’81 (see proof marks), and I am the third owner. First owner took the rifle on safari and I was told by the second owner she has one buffalo to her credit. Second owner told me he fired the rifle a few times and that was all, which I believe as he had many rifles in his safe. Only a couple small handling marks. I can’t find any traces of aftermarket work, and the rifle has the original ivory folding rear sights, a Sturm Ruger red recoil pad in great shape and a very clean, smooth action with the 3-part Mauser style action. Barrel/action/rifling are all immaculate. Not many rounds through this beauty… really this rifle is in pristine condition. Length of the rifle is 44.5 inches, the barrel is 31.1 inches and the LOP is 13 5/8’s.

I talked with George Caswell yesterday over the phone, and he says these rifles go for approximately $2500-$2900.

$2500 firm with shipping included to your FFL (Alaska + Hawaii at cost). Zelle, Paypal or wire transfer or if you’re in vicinity of NW Arkansas or Tulsa, we can meet in person.

More photos available on request. I will be out of town for reserve duty from Friday-Sunday, so I won’t have the rifle nearby and will generally be delayed in responding.

Morning, measured the barrel length: 24 inches on the nose.
 
Bump this thread - still available. Willing to discuss price.
 
Nice Rifle!!
 
Rifle is now on GunsInternational
 
PRICE REDUCED: Asking $1800.
 
Yes. Pre-RSM. It's not the magnum action one sees with the 1992 onwards builds.
 
Back on the market — $1650 to your door.
 
LSB wyoming - and let it sell at Penny auction - that makes people put their hands in in their pockets

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?

I am possibly going to book with him soon.
Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
To much to political shit, to little Africa :-)
Spending a few years hunting out west then back to Africa!
