That's what I'm talking about. Most excellent Ingwe! How do you like the Ruger?

I can honestly say I like it as much or more than any big game rifle Ive ever owned. Ruger got the limited edition Africans just right....

Well done!

The African Model Rugers are indeed nice rifles.

Very Nice

However it wouldn’t have been any DEADER if you used a 270 Win. laugh

Also Why didn’t you use your 270 Ingwe? wink

Ken’s been posting pix of the cartridge for you. grin

I think even the Africans in 375 or 416 Ruger are righteous rifles. I finally handled one in January. I thought it looked, handled and felt great!

You're having way too much fun with that rifle! Congrats!

Congrats Sir, could I ask what bullet you used? I have a tang safety M77 in 7x57 that I bought new in 1985. My favorite rifle by far!

Very nice! I love Axis meat. I am saving my pennies to make another trip to TX for Axis and Oryx.

What optic are you using on that rifle? I can't tell from the picture.
