MacD37's wish!
"and is a real breath of fresh air in "OUT OF THE BOX" Safari rifles! Again, if they ever bring it out chambered for the 338 Win Mag, I'll be first in line to buy one.."

Howdy, MacD37. You can buy the Ruger African in .338 Winchester. It's not called the African, just Ruger Hawkeye, but it's otherwise identical to a "T". You'll find one or two on GunsAmerica or Gunbroker. Quite a bit cheaper too. I forget, but $550 - $600 is the price. There is a fine looking wood stocked specimen on Gunbroker right now at $559. There are a ton of .338 Federal on those sites, but always one or two Winnies. A plastic stock option (The All Weather) is either not available in .338 Win, or is scarce as hen's teeth.

Actually it was MacD37, I believe, that was looking for this combination. Thanks for thinking of me though!
