Rocky,
Some of those distributor specials are super nice.


Som,e time back,the then governor of Texas used a new Ruger LCP to dispatch a coyote while walking his dog.

I think it was Lipseys that came out with a "Coyote Special" LCP.

I wish I were able to get one.

Wayne,
I'm on the hunt for a Lipsey's Ruger 275 Rigby "African"....they do a pretty good job of having interesting guns built

Hi, I had a Ruger RSI in 7x57 Mauser/ 275 Rigby. It was beautiful with the Mannlicher style stock. It was also the most inaccurate rifle I owned, even with reloads. I free floated the stock and tried all the tricks but "no soap". The Lipsey has a different set up and I would like to try again. Jack O'Connor loved the 7x57 Mauser and touted it's accuracy, regards, Mike

Uncle Mike!!!
You cannot say Jack O'Conner and not say .270....
I'm just say'n....
I've got 2 7x57's in the newer Winchester featherweight....these came from my dad which he took to Africa several times, 1 being cut down for step mom.
I think that the Ruger "African" is simply a beautiful gun. Got my eye on a 280 Ackley in the African configuration, however I'd just prefer the .275 Rigby...guess I just like the set up....AND doesn't everyone need 3 7x57's???
thread hijack...sorry

:-)Rocky

Rocky,
No thread hijack here,just a slight drift which is the norm when folks are at the campfire/fishing hole talking about :good stuff"

Nothing wrong with the 7 X 57.it has superb ballistics and great ballistic co-efficient/sectional density.

I think it was a white hunter by the name of Bell in Africa used to use the 7 X 57 to harvest elephants.

Getting back to S&Ws,I only have one,a Model 27 which was made years before S&W went "political" in '74 and in 2000 when they signed the deal with HUD.

I won't own an S&W today.

Wayne

Hi, Rocky, your right; Jack liked the 270 but his wife I believe used the 7x57. In his book The Hunting Rifle he listed his favorite cartridges, the 7x 57 and 375 HH were listed. I have a copy of his "The Last Book: Confessions of a Gun Writer", in it he 'beefs' on everybody. All the freebies and corporate perks for the 'boys', regards, Mike
