Well since Ruger, Marlin and Hornady teamed up with the 17 Rimfire project Ruger is bringing out a 458 Lott model 77 in their Safari version. This will accomodate their 458 Lott hornady factory ammo. My dealer has one on order already (not for me that is) Interesting....

I am glad to see they are offering this cartridge in an affordable gun.

Do not kid yourself Bill. Ruger's Safari or African or whatever they call it goes for well over $1000! Sorry dude~!

Rugers are not worth that much.

Its all relative, compared to $3000, $1200 is affordable

Buy a CZ or Winchester M-70 in .458, re-chamber, a little mag and/or action work, and you still come out less expensive than the Ruger

Shoot straight, shoot often, but by all means, use enough gun!

A friend mine converted a CZ from .458 WinMag to Lott. Excellent results!!! In fact I think the CZ action is probable the most converted action, a true Mauser design at an affordable value. Can�t go wrong. On the other side, Rugers are very good rifles. IMHO
