You hold the spotlight and I bring my favorite 300 mag? We’d have it sorted in short order if we didn’t go to jail
Been wanting to post a pic anyway.
This girl is magic I swear.
Craig Boddington Kudu, 300 H&H.
One of 250, Circassian and matte blue. Throwing 150 Nosler partitions around 3350 mv. It’s almost criminal how it hits I have since taken off the bubba cartridge carrier and went back to a couple extra in a pocket. Just too classy for all that biz.

I had Ray Montgomery of Ray's Gunsmith Service in Grand Junction Co build my #1 for me. I love Falling Blocks. It started out life as a 22-250 but I shot the barrel out so we put a 1-12 twist 257 Roberts barrel on, reamed it to 25-06 for one bullet a Sierra 100Gr Game King. Shoots 3/4in at 250 yards. Also build me a 6mm-06 with a Douglas Air Gauge Lite Palma stainless barrel, it shoots 1in at 350 yards. I will find a picture. I have a 6.5x30 72mm Objective 30mm tube Minox scope on it. For here if a primer is to be popped my Remington 700 in 300 Blackout suppressed - subsonic 190gr. will do the dispatching. The firing pin is loud when it goes off, not much else. I like your rifle and Cat.

Somehow after carrying on here for awhile, the falling block affection did not surprise me I don’t have any really super accurate No. 1s, maybe my standard catalog English/gloss 300 H&H. It stays under moa easy.
For grins, here’s my “primitive” rifle.
28 inch barreled 1885, 375.
235 Speer hot core over an abundance of R-17. It’s probably more brutal than the 300s.
I have toyed with the the idea of liquidating my collection and going with something like a Blaser or Merkel with a couple of barrels. But have a lot of memories with my falling blocks, and a little skeptical of the light weight of those. I usually hunt out of shooting houses, and do realize there are limits to my recoil tolerance. A number 1 in 450-400 nitro made me come to grips there. That thing will hurt you if you’re not paying attention

I have a R-93 Professional in 264 WinMag, biggest I shoot anymore. The last 5-6 deer I shot was all with the 6mm-06. Like the rest of the community here I don't deer hunt anymore. That said these eating my trees will be eliminated because their so many at one time now. We've had as high as 8 in the front yard at one time. Personally I like a beefy rifle myself. That 1885 is sweet.

I’m into T/C encores. Anybody toting a magazine into the woods is just pitiful.

Love the look of the ruger #1s but never liked the weight.

I like encores too! I usually am not carrying one further than from sxs to the stand, so weight doesn’t bother me. And the totally unnecessary cartridges I shoot, it keeps my end of the thump manageable
My biggest complaint with the no 1 is mounting modern scopes. Seems the turrets have moved since 66 or 67 whenever ole Bill laid things out. Puts you having to use offset rings that to me look like crap. But it is what it is.

I never pull mine out anymore since the 6mm-06 was built. The glass was robbed for a extra Bbl with my Blaser. It has HI 1" rings on it if y'all know anyone who would like a #1 in 25-06 that was custom built by Ray Montgomery I will take $1K for it.

Still have one more tag to fill.
