Mr. Bane great show, about the old african rifles, you asked the person from Ruger if you could get a 577NE in a number1 and he said NO. 20 some years ago I shot a Ruger number 1 that was made into a 577NE by JD Jones of SSK. what fun it was!!! 750 grain bullets and it did have a little kick. Love those old side by side big bores . best regards . Frank from Michigan
