One of the last rifles that Sterling Davenport made, this Ruger Safari Magnum Mk II is chambered in .510-505 Gibbs, providing a wider range of bullet options.

Weight: 11.2 lbs. (without scope)
LOP: 14"
Barrel: 24"
Round count: Test fired; I assume. I have never fired it and the scope has not been sighted in.

Higher resolution pictures available on request. There are no handling marks on the rifle.

$3,750 shipped, includes Leupold Vari-X 3 1.5-5x20 scope and mounts, C&H Tool & Die reloading dies, and Bore Snake. Rifle will be shipped in a hard case, fully insured. Scope and dies will be shipped separately.

Add $400 shipped for the loaded ammunition (80 rounds) and empty brass (20 cases), all new Jamison brass. Cases have NOT been fire-formed yet and are loaded with .505" bullets. Load data will be provided, and I have a large selection of .510" bullets available at very reasonable cost, since this is my last .510 caliber rifle.

Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

This is a beautiful rifle at a great price. I have never seen Sterling utilize a RSM, but he obviously did! I am scaling back my big bores with .458 Lott remaking at the top end or I would buy it. GLWS.

Yep! Here's a close-up of the engraving on the barrel...

So the loaded ammunition is regular 505 Gibbs?

Oh, I believed you! Grip cap is dead give away! Great rifle. I have one he built on a pre-64 and it is flawlessly made (like seemingly all his offerings).

Hi Biebs,

Yes, the ammo is standard .505 Gibbs with .505 caliber 525-535 gr. bullets. They can be fire formed in the rifle or could be resized with the new C&H dies and new .510 bullets could be seated.

.510-505 dies weren't available from C&H at the time I got the rifle, if I remember correctly, and I already had RCBS .505 Gibbs dies. One thing led to another...

I have a wide variety of .510 caliber bullets that I'll make someone a very sweet deal on if they buy the rifle.
