Just laid my hands on the Lipseys Ruger 77 African 22 Hornet. It is sleek and slim, feels good in the hands.

Are those express sights? I like the look of that barrel band. That rifle reminds me of when Ruger put out the Tropical Rifles in the 70's and 80;s.
 
Beautiful rifle for a 22 Hornet. This will be a dumb question but what exactly is Lipsey’s? Do they special order certain rifles from Ruger to exclusively distribute? Or do they make semi-custom alterations to rifles?

Linsey’s is a distributor that sells to your local shop….the middle man!

Lipseys is a wholesale firearms distributor that sells to your local gunshop. They do limited exclusives from various manufactures. Ruger is there strong suit. They will contract Ruger for limited editions every year. The African series is one of them.
 
That is beautiful. The old 77/.22 hornets had some serious accuracy issues. I hope they have them sorted with this lovely little rifle.

What a great way to kick off our 2025 hunting season in South Africa.

This beautiful Impala ram was taken at just over 300 yards, took a few steps and toppled over.

We are looking forward to the next week and a half of hunting with our first client of the year.

Do you have any more copies of African Dangerous Game Cartridges, Author: Pierre van der Walt ? I'm looking for one. Thanks for any information, John buzzardhilllabs@hotmail.com

Out of all the different color variations of Impala the black Impala just stands out with its beautiful pitch black hide.

Impala is one of the animals you will see all over Africa.
You can see them in herds of a 100 plus together.

This excellent ram was taken with one of our previous client this past season.
