Have NOT taken it to Africa.. plan to..if/when this covid fiasco ever gets over.. actually talked to a PH a couple weeks back..really want to do a buffalo hunt with it..

It is a very basic model built in 1910 left the factory in 1911 to its original owner.. Per the letter I received from WR...

I picked it up a the Safari Club show in Reno back in 2007-from George..double gun dealer out of Seattle..-I bought it and booked a lion hunt in Zim. the same day.. I had it checked out by the gunsmith Westly Richards recommended at the time as WR's USA office was located in the town I reside in for some years.. no idea where the US office is now or if there even is one. The rifle patterns incrdibly well..in fact the gunsmith called me and said "You need to hunt with this one. She is a shooter"..

It is a very easy and pleasant double to shoot.. one of the favorites I have ever fired..

I had become friends with WR crew at the time, so I went with Kevin occasionally testing the firearms people were consigning for sale.. lots of really cool doubles including a double owned by Mr Ruger himself.. very expensive double ..
