And, a very nice 2-rifle battery to cover any African safari GR.
I have both as well, plus the 275 Rigby. Great rifles from Ruger!
A few posters on this thread have mentioned the 35 Whelen being a little nose heavy. For those who own one already, is the 35 Whelen muzzle heavy like the 280AI had, compared to the thin barrels of the 275 Rigby, 9.3x62 & 6.5x55?
Ah, a fellow connoisseur.
Use the 6.5x55 mm mainly for field marksmanship shooting, in lieu of a Mauser, but hunt w/ it on occasion.
The 9.3x62 mm just because, and for the thickets.
Since it is mostly meat hunting - Africa would be expensive take-out.
They are fine field rifles none the less.
