Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Africa Nobody needs a 458 Lott?

I could like that alot for MI deer hunting but there's a long list of $$ projects first. Dang man - I like the wood.

I've been fine.

That's a beautiful rifle at a good price by the way.

Biebs,

I think you make Gunner500 look like a small bore aficionado...

DF, I had a Lott for awhile. Mine was only nine lbs all up. Shooting it seemed to me to be similar in a way to the old shock treatments (I guess they still do 'em).. If you had any anger or depression, it knocked it out of 'yo head.

Or, maybe it was just the bruised shoulder and headache that took your mind of it.

I see the Lott referred to in the past tense...

Dirtfarmer, Gunner now has my 577 NE Verney Caron double rifle!

Guess he's "moving on up".

Should have known..

Contact ajitajitroydesign.com as he may well be very interested in your Ruger 458 Lott. He hunts Tanzania often a is a collector of large caliber rifles. MTG

Will do, thanks.

Very nice!

Might have to sell my Sako 75, 416 Rem Mag (safe queen) and move up to the big bores!

Can't do much better than this one...and it's controlled round feed :-)

Why are rifles called controlled round feed when they are really push feed until the case head leaves the magazine which is about the same point a true push feed has fed exactly the same amount of cartridge into the breach?

I never understood why the emphasis was not on the larger claw extractor which is more of a marketing feature if you believe all this indoctrination.

I am way past remembering all the rifles I have owned and used but very clear in the memories of which had the most issues. I don't really favor one over the other if they are reliable but one sided views are very one sided.

Yes, folks seem to be hung up on CRF, at least for a dangerous game rifle. It doesn't make much difference to me....100% reliable feed and ejection is what I look for.
