I don't think the two have been paired up since Jim Corbett....till now. Two Axis bucks with the .275 Rigby .... The first one was with the help and thanks to member Bbear!

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

Fantastic Tom. Great bucks.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Very Nice However it wouldn’t have been any DEADER if you used a 270 Win. Also Why didn’t you use your 270 Ingwe? Ken’s been posting pix of the cartridge for you. Jerry

Ruger got the limited edition Africans just right.... 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.
