Gents, will we see the Ruger African chambered in 30-06 next year? As there seems to be a gap......

I would be first in line for one! As it might look like this old RS 77 in 30-06 :)(almost) Pieter

Knowing the popularity of the 30-06 I would guess its a logical addition to the African Safari line up.......

I think the 7x57 would be a fitting chambering too.

Ruger made some Model 77 Express Rifles in 30/06. Also in 270 Winchester and 300 Winchester Magnum... Keep an eye out online because they do get sold.

SeeDepp - agree the 7x57 Mauser would look just right on the Ruger African platform - very classy. Homesteader.

AussieGunWriter - it might be a tad difficult to buy either brass or factory loads headstamped "275 Rigby" as opposed to 7 Mauser / 7X57. But "275 Rigby" also sounds great. Homesteader.
