Looking for one. Any leads or joy?

Shops in your area worth a call that are larger Ruger dealers? It’s a Lipsey limited run. They shipped another batch somewhat recently from what I hear. Can a Lipsey buyer/vendor here confirm?

For sure- I’m fundamentally opposed to wasting money on unnecessary charges, made up fees, and unnecessary marketplace facilitator remote seller tax collection.

Was hoping someone had seen one in their area.

Dm the seller.

Sometimes you can minimize fees buying direct.

Lipsey's is showing them as "Allocated", which means they only ship to certain high volume dealers, which is not me.
The 375 and 416 Rugers are in stock and will ship to any dealer.

Cva is going to make cascades in 35 whelen soon. Unless you're set on the African I'd get one of those.

I had to custom order a bolt gun from shaw to get a savage action 35 whelen. Highly recommend them also.

I found one in the neighboring state and grabbed it. Sweet rifle.

The Ruger Africans are great rifles.

Congrats OP! I have a Lipsey’s 9.3x62 African and love it. I would have just easily gone with the 35 whelen had it been available when I found my rifle.

Are you going to hunt with it?
