Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Express Rifles and Big Bores Only The great 458 Winchester. Everyone should own one at least once

Sir Tony,
Asante sana.
She has been rode a bit hard, but just shows how useful she was for any game:



DESCRIPTION
Ruger No. 1-H Tropical, .458 Win. magnum cal. falling block rifle. Serial #132-08095. Good condition. 24" heavy barrel has an excellent bore, fixed front and flip-up adjustable rear factory sights. Fitted with a Bushnell Scope Chief VI 3-9x40 scope with a duplex reticle and clear optics. 95% blue finish on the barrel with light muzzle wear. The right side of the receiver has excellent finish, the left side has heavy finish wear with some peppering. Checkered wood forearm and stock are in good shape with wear to the left side and has some scattered scratches and hits. Has a Ruger pistol grip cap and Ruger marked red rubber butt pad. Comes with a leather sling. Perfect for dangerous game on the Dark Continent or big brownies! You can load up it up or down and eat right to the holes!

By serial number she is of early 1981 production.
My first one was acquired in 1984, my first "big bore."
My last one was of 1980 production by SN, acquired in 2018, finally righting a wrong.
Daisy was like new for about $800, a great find.
