Hi all, I should know this but I've developed a case of CRN (can't remember nothing!) Anyway, are the new Ruger M77 MKII Magnum rifles and the Express rifles controlled round feeding rifles? I've got a line on one in .375 H&H with the most beautifully figured stock I've ever seen and a matching Express rifle in 30-06. Thanks for your help... CEJ
By the way, the M77 MkII Express rifles have been discontinued. (The Express rifles looked like the Magnum rifles but had a standard length action and were available in smaller calibers.) A M77 MkII Express in .30-06 would be sweet. I wish now that I had purchased one when they were still being made. An Express in .30-06 and a Magnum in .375 H&H would be a nice pair.

djpaintlesI have one in 416 Rigby that is a CFS (can't feed shit). It won't feed factory federal ammo! I hate having to work on expensive brand new rifles. My 458 Lott fed OK but could have been smoother......DJ

BFaucettAC,
Actually, I do own a Ruger M77 RSM in .416 Rigby. I have never hunted with it, though. I just don't pretend to be something I'm not as you seem to be so fond of doing. I did use my Ruger M77 RSM in .375 H&H in South Africa in 2000. I used a Ruger M77 in .30-06 in SA in 2002. Both trips were plains game hunts. I'm going back in 2005 and I'll be taking a CZ 550 in 9.3x62.
Also, I'm a member of the Houston Safari Club. I'm looking forward to meeting Ray Atkinson this coming January at our annual convention and show. I'm sure Ray and I will have a few laughs over the ASS_CLOWN of the Accurate Reloading forums.

Questor,
Go here: http://www.ruger.com/Firearms/P-CategoryRiflesCBA.html
Click on the M77 Mark II Magnum link on the right side of the page.
Excerpt from the page at the link above:
M77 Mark II Magnum Rifles:
For those who confront the largest and most dangerous game, the Ruger M77 Mark II Magnum rifle will fit the bill. Ruger Magnum rifles offer deluxe features including heavy barrels with machined integral ribs and Express sights, and premium grade Circassian walnut stocks. Ruger M77 Mark II Magnum rifles are offered in 375 H&H, 416 Rigby and 458 Lott - for the ultimate stopping power.
The Ruger M77 MkII rifles are controlled round feed (CRF). The quote in your post is a description of CRF.

Well since I sold my 50 Beowulf (and have some money burning a hole in my pocket), and I really really want to be a big bore shooter (hence my continous BSing here and made up stories) I figured I would ask for some advise.
If I were to buy one big bore caliber, and keep in mind I had troubles with the 50 Beowulf's recoil, that would work for everything a big bore should be used for, what should I get? I am thinking that the 458 Win mag would be the "best" fit, but I really want to know all of your opinions. Recoil does bother me, I guess I am a wimp, but I want something 0.4" diameter or bigger (to me that where the big bore begins not .375").
I am serious this time! I am truly sick of being exposed as the pathetic wannabe, poser, ASS_CLOWN that I all to frequently am. I WANT TO BE LEGIT!
Thanks for the advise.

AC,
I think that pretty well sums up your field experience with the .416 Rigby and other big bores. Why do you continue to be such a poser on here?

ASS_CLOWNTeal,
Let me join you in => Bwhahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!
I to enjoy BFaucett's highly constructive and educational posts!
I wonder what experience he has with either a 416 Rigby chambered Ruger M77 MkII RSM or the effect of the 416 Rigby on game.
I assure you ALL that when wild field mice are the quarry, the 300 Winnie and the 416 Rigby are a wash! They both only blow the buggers in two! One needs a MUCH LARGER bore to completely obliterate them!!
This is becoming FAR TOO

ASS_CLOWNChuckwagon,
I thought you were ignoring me. Now I am so confused. For what it is worth, the "CLOWN" part is VERY important. So it stays!
I stand by my previous contentions, regardless if you like it or not. Have you shot anything with a 416 anything? I have, lots of wild field mice.

ChuckWagonMaybe you should take the clown part off your handle !
Hey it's just a suggestion.

ASS_CLOWNRay,
I found your answer to my previous question regarding the toughness of bison vs buffalo. You had already provided it in an older post.
Thanks, seems we do agree.

bison can take as much killing as a Cape Buffalo and maybe more as they are much larger in structure and weight...

QuestorI don't see any rifles on the Ruger site in 375 or 458 calibers.
Here's what the Ruger site says (it sounds like the answer is no, because their feature seems to apply to extraction, not feeding):
"Ruger's proven bolt action design includes a one-piece bolt and a non-rotating Mauser-type controlled-feed extractor, the most positive case extraction system ever invented. The fixed-blade-type ejector positively ejects the empty cases as the bolt is moved fully rearward. All Ruger centerfire bolt action rifles also feature our easily accessible three-position safety, which allows the shooter to lock the bolt, or to load and unload, with the safety engaged."

ASS_CLOWNRay,
If you have IN FACT shot buffalo with both the 375 and 416 and could not discern that there is NO significant difference between the two, with regard to killing time, then I suggest it is you who are the "simpleton".
Additionally, IF your truly believe that I have NO hunting experience, I suggest once again that it is you who are the "simpleton".
By the way, which is tougher aka harder to drop, a buffalo or a bison? It is my opinion that the it is the later, and NOT the former. Albeit wounded buffalo are typically more aggressive than wounded bison.
Have a nice day,

AtkinsonAC,
You are that, a complete simpleton....Anyone that thinks the 375 is as good a killer as the 416 is pure BS....I have and like both, and have shot a lot of buffalo with both, the 416 wins hands down, not to say the 375 isn't a buffalo rifle, it is IMO.......and how would you know, you have never hunted buffalo much less shot one.
