Small worldAt the Fall Hastings Gun Show (which I help to run), I scored a 'two-fer'.
It is a Ruger No. 1 rifle. It has gorgeous wood like all the No.,s 1. it is a classic shaped and looking rifle. I rather like them.
It is in a classic caliber, designed - according to the legends - in 1902. It is the 450/400 NE 3" cartridge aka as the .400 Jeffries. I like odd big game cartridges.
I bought it. View attachment 807400
Truth to tell, I am not intending to travel to Africa at any time, nor am I intending to shoot any elephant. Or Cape Buffalo. Or a mother-in-law (who might be considered a dangerous predator.) But I rather like such cartridges. Who knows, perhaps Sasquatch might go on a rampage.
Empties and loading dies to follow.
Would make that trade any day!View attachment 807008
Previous owner was looking for a Glock and since I hadn't owned a CZ pistol before I thought a trade would be an easy way to get one to try. Also figured I could get the same amount for either if I was to sell, so I traded a G35 for this.

I picked up another Anderson AM-15 "poverty pony" AR lower today. Local "pusher" had them for $50.
Bought a new DPMS LR308 today. Who would have thought, after we went through the Sandy Hook scare, that you could get a AR10, for under $700. That was just too good to pass up, for me.
