At my local gun auction today I landed an unfired Ruger Express 338 Win Mag, I only gave $1100 for it so I basically stole it.

 

[YancyW]

I'll give you 1200 right now!!

Congradulations. It is very hard to get rifle. If I am right only 100 were made.
collectors item.

They had no idea what it was. LOL.

They had no idea what it was. LOL.

I think my fellow bidders thought it was a plain M77 as well, even though the auctioneer clearly said “Express”.

Well, if those Ruger Express rifles shoot as well as my old Ruger 77 .338 Win Mag, you guys should never need another .338.
Guide in Colorado with my 6x6 :

That red spot on the left hip was the only shot available as he made for cover. It worked.
It is called a Texas heart shot.

Nice! Where is this gun auction held???

 

[ActionBob]

Wow you got a deal. Mine loves Barnes Vortex 225 grain TTSX ammo. I've got a Zeiss Conquest HD 3-15 with the 800 graduated reticle. Only shot targets it out to 300 yards but it shoots tight patterns at that. Then used it on a mule deer at something like 468 yards flopped him right over. Loving that gun for hunting even more than my 300 win mag version.
