The rifle I will take to Africa.

I cleaned LeBaron's in Ottawa out of 300 grain Nosler Partition .375 projectiles... 4 boxes of 50 @ $61 per box... :rockOn:

Cheers

Hey Guys;

I was particularly blessed to recently purchase a Ruger RSM in 375 H&H from a collector that had only fired it 7 times.

I have always said that I am a man of modest means, and this Ruger RSM in 375 H&H is a rifle that incorporates expensive features into it like folding rear leaf sights and Circassian walnut, while remaining 'affordable' for most.

Tonight I am raising a glass of 18 year old single malt Glenlivet & saying a little prayer that I will live long enough to see Africa & fulfill my lifelong dream of a safari with my beautiful wife.

Cheers
Jay

Congrats on a great rifle Jay! I have a stock one in .416 Rigby which I love. Ardent's posts on his RSM had much to do with my purchase.
Check out what this guy did with his...beautiful rifle!

P.S. If I saw a Ruger RSM in 416 Rigby, I would be VERY tempted to pick it up! Damn bills, mortgage etc... Chuckle
 
So I got to the range with my Ruger RSM in 375 H&H with the Leupold VX-3 1.5-5 in QD Alaska Arms rings mounted on it...

I bore sighted it by looking at a 200m target through the bore & adjusting the crosshairs in the scope. I fired 2 rounds at 50 meters & made some more adjustments on the scope. Then I benched/sandbagged the rifle & fired 3 shots @ 100 meters & BOOM, I'm a happy boy!!!

Cheers

P.S. Sorry about the crappy photo of the target, I was holding my phone camera against the lense of my spotting scope...



 
Nice shooting Jay!

Thanks BB!

While shooting the 375 H&H is no sweat STANDING, benching the thing & taking it all to the shoulder is something else! Chuckle
