dogcatNew vs. Older Rugers in DGR calibers
Anyone have a concern over an older Ruger in a .458 WM with tang safety? Any particular pitfalls to watch out for?

jorgedc: They were fine rifles, sort of a hybrid PF/CRF. A bit nose heavy, but some had some gorgeous wood and I thought were very well made.

<Hunter Formerly Known As Texas Hunter>That's good to hear since I bought one in new condition about a month ago. I really like it. It handles well and is easy to control. I put a white bead on the front sight. Otherwise, it is factory. It's very quick to the shoulder and on target. The sights are easy and quick to acquire.

475GuyIt's a semi-pushfeed. It shoots very nicely and digests cast bullets very well. Hardly no recoil at all. This is the softest recoiling 458 WinMag I've ever shot and owned.

buckeyeshooterI bought one for myself as a college graduation present in 1981 for the princely sum of $375.00 brand new. It was one of the best purchases I ever made. Great rifle, shoots and handles well.
How many does it hold? 4 or 3?
I am building a 358 on the ame action and I was wondering how many of those Big Normas would fit in the mag.
My 30-06 holds 6!
