I am interested in one and only one trade for this rifle. A Ruger Redhawk stainless revolver, 4.2" barrel in .45 Colt/.45ACP with the additional cash to bring the value up to the rifle's cost. Average value from TrueGunValue website as the determining source for the revolver.

I am not going to shoot a bunch of crappy/shaky/blurry photos of the rifle. It is new in the Ruger box. If you don't understand what that means, look it up versus assaulting me with ignorant questions. If you need to...

The pair of Ruger cartridges the 375 and 416 are likely to disapear without Ruger making rifles for them .I wanted a 416 ruger in a ruger 77 tang safety but wont do it now .They are both fine rounds .I saw a ton of 375 Rugers in Alaska .The 338 win mag is in danger without Ruger too not many chambered these days .

It’s taken me a while to get time to write this but @SRvet and I did a 7 day safari in Namibia this June. 'Own use' buffalo bull was the primary target and Plains Game (PG) also. It was our first time with @Jamy Traut Hunting Safaris but our sporting agent (the UK term for a booking agent) and friend Ollie Hill of Sybarite Safaris knew them well and he joined us for the trip.
