Any Reports on the Ruger Magnum in 458 Lott
#41137 - 10/11/05 10:25 AM

To The Group:

After hearing the +/- winchester safari express stories I think I may just buy another Ruger magnum. Does any one have anyone coments on this rifle in 458 Lott? I have one in 375 H&H and it shoots great. I can pick one up new for about $1300 USD.

Thanks

Pill,

I own one and I love it. It's certainly stout in the recoil department, but that's the cartridge, not the rifle. If you belong to tri-county, I could arrange to meet you there one day to shoot mine. Just PM me and let me know your contact info and we'll work it out.

I've had one for a year and a half and it has digested a few hundred full loads w/o any problems. But, I did send it out to a real rifle smith to tweak a few things before I started to shoot it further. I can't get it to jam in any position no matter how fast I cycle the bolt, glassbedded it and replaced the magazine spring with a stronger one. I also had it "throated" so that anything will feed in it. Another thing is that I had a recoil reducer glassed in the butt shock and added a better recoil pad. I've been lucky in ALL my RSM's in that I've always ended up with good wood and better triggers(3 1/4#) for the Lott. BTW, $1300 is a great price.
