I came to the conclusion that I needed to own something with a little more reach than my other rifles, with future deer hunts or skittish-camel hunts in mind; something that could wear a scope and shoot a little bit flatter. After considering a few good options, and hum-bugging forum members with questions, I decided on the Ruger No.1 in .300H&H. By-and-by the rifle, shells, dies and projectiles arrived, and it was time to sight-in, reload and go bush-walking.
