and her new one in 275 Rigby, also in Africa.

Kase has used a 1-S #1 in 45-70 for a Kudu and another #1 in 378 Weatherby for various plains game animals like Common Reedbuck, Impala and Blue Wildebeest.

And a #1 in 416 Rigby in Africa for Eland and another Kudu.

In all my trips to Africa I have never used a rifle. The only time I can remember using a rifle was a #1-S in 45-70 up on the Arctic Circle for Caribou. That #1 eventually became a 450 GNR. I also used a Winchester 94 in 32 WCF in Canada on a bear hunt.

There were several rifles in our tidy little camp up on the Arctic Circle.

Years ago. I saw one other like it with an octagonal barrel. I will always have this rifle. Has steel checkered Neidner buttplate, color cases receiver, lever and scope rings and of course great wood.

The variants confuse me. I was thnkng a 1V but see they come in a ribbed version and others with scope bases drilled in the barrel (I think). The no front sight talks to me more than a conventional one, not g my lack of understanding of the variants. Anyway for caliber, a 375 Flanged Magnum sounds good & not the short one either. Gary, any reamers for this one handy?

Ruger #1 for a friend a few years back. Not sure which version it is. I will have to look and see.
