I got a Ruger No. 1 Tropical with pretty wood I could be talked out of by p.m. It was already threaded when I bought it and has what appears to be a Vais brake on it and the front sight was moved back accordingly.

At 59, it doesn't appear I'll be making it to Africa unless I hit the lottery...

Sorry for minor hijack.

Oh yeah, it kicks softer with and without the brake than my 77 Tanger in .338 WM, and kills whitetail about like a .308.
