For Sale Ruger Hawkeye African 35 Whelen NIB

Hey guys! To fund a dream project I'm presenting my new in box - unfired Ruger Hawkeye African in 35 Whelen. No blemishes as she has sat in her box from the day I brought her home. If I didn't have another 35, I'd keep her and sell a pet or something. Rings, manual, lock, sticker, etc. included. $1700 shipped to your FFL. ZELLE preferred but not mandatory. Thanks for everything!

Pics of your .458WM's

I am a big .458WM fan and though I think I have what I want and need, I'd love to see pics of your 458's. I am especially interested in shorter and lighter builds. Any thoughts or reflections on your guns are also appreciated. I have posted one of mine that I bought here, but I don't have a current pic. I took the RDS off and am looking for a good full time rear ghost ring now, since the gunsmith I took it to messed up every aspect he possibly could, including the rear peep backup.

Is this brass safe to load and shoot?

I want to load some 416Rem light practice loads (300gr with H4895) to break in a new rifle, but I'm concerned this lot of virgin Remington brass I have is rotten. Looks like some moisture may have gotten to it inside and out. I sized a couple dozen cases and decided to stop. Is it worth the risk or should I scrap the whole lot? I'd be happy if I could get one firing out of them. (Originally posted under "What did you reload today?")

Whisky appreciation

Not sure how many other whisky lovers there are here but I am one of them.

Do a bit of writing occasionally for a few hunting magazines and nothing is a better accompaniment to writing than a nice dram.
