So after my first PG safari, I am already in the process of planning another safari! My Father had gone with out me in ’07, and tagged along with me as an observer on my hunt ’08 (ok an observer that decided to shoot a wildebeest). Now my good old father has it in his head that he needs a buffalo, and his neighbor wants a nice jumbo. They are thinking possibly as soon as 2010 and I’d love to tag along. Problem is I don’t have the funds to buy both, a “quality” bolt gun in an appropriate caliber and the ticket over. I am in love with the Ruger 1 in 450/400 for quality and price, but the single shot makes me a little uneasy. I also have not been able to find much info on this specific version of the 450 on DG. I know I can get a CZ in 375 or the 4’s but they aren’t as appealing to me as the Ruger 1. Any thoughts on a #1 in 450/400 on DG? Again, strictly backing up (read glorified observer). Any advice would be appreciated.
