Here's my Ruger and NO it's not an African, It's my 458 AccRel, I have shot nearly 200 rounds thru this rifle at the equivelent to 458 Lott loads or better and it's still going strong, and it's in another recoil class to the 375 Ruger.





All this from an action and stock that started life as a Ruger Hawkeye 338 WM .

I'm not sure it needs to become a big issue with Ruger, just a few simple extras, like as I have done, duel crossbolt, barrel lug, bed and releave the rear tang, surely Ruger could do this, it's not rocket science, Hell I'm no gunsmith but I did all this myself and still doing bits and pieces to it.

Most folks would be terrified of that--- have you shot it as yet? I like my own hunting 500 AccRel, which is also very light.

Well after a couple of years of I'm going to... I got the Rem 798 Zastava rechambered to 458ar. Thanks Jeffe (reamer was mailed back today). I got 14 rounds through it today -light loads at that. But it is running. The big bore match is next Saturday so I under the gun. Feeding from the left side of the mag needs some work. The crappy, too small, flat sided bolt knob was cup off and replaced with a VZ24 knob, shank straightened and lengthened a bit. Now it is a right proper bolt that can run quickly. The factory glass bedding was brittle, and it was applied after the inside of the stock was varnished, so it cracked and broke out. I ground, chipped and chopped then re-bedded with Acra-glass gel. The Ruger sling swivel and front sight will be put on next. Forearm was too long and had the ugliest rendition of a schnabel so it went away. I am thinking of going with a NECG rear aperature instead of a V rear (which I love). The barrel will get chopped of about 1" or so to fit the banded front sight but it is 26" now so big deal. That uber-traditional dot sight seems to be working well - 50 rounds of 458WM and a few 458AR's.

I threw in some pics to compare the original Mk X style bolt, Stainless in the pics, and the new bolt, blued.






Hope to see some of you next Saturday.

Got some Varmint / thin skin shooting to do and have ordered 2 boxes of SPEER 350g .458 Hotcors

Anybody had any loading and field experience with this combo ? In the AccRel

Speed and destruction are the desired outcomes.

I sincerely ask that you start a thread detailing the
characteristics of this 500 AccRel. I mean all the fine points.
Stock material and maker, bbl maker and length, twist
rate trigger, scope, etc. and pictures of the works!!!
I am not kidding; I hope to see it this week!
