About 10 years ago we introduced our new Mega Beast in 470 Nitro, 500
Nitro and 500 Jeffrey, and it is still very popular. In the last few years
we have added the 476 GNR to the line up and a great dangerous game
cartridge it is. Kase and I have used the 470 Nitro on several African
safaris and what a great caliber it is in the Ruger #1.
The new MEGA
BEAST is built on your Ruger #1 base gun and the base gun can be in any
caliber as all that changes. We add a new heavy duty 20 inch barrel and
our own patented muzzle brake, add front and rear African express sights
and engrave the sideplate with scenes of dangerous game. This version has
a lot of engraving of dangerous game animals and scroll work. We add gold
or silver bands to the barrel and the gun is then high polished and has
our deluxe Black Chromex finish done to it. We finish the stock in an
ebony finish and add a decelerator butt pad to it for more comfortable
shooting. The field grade rifle is pretty much the same but more of a
working gun without the engraving and gold bands.
In the past the 470
Nitro, 500 Nitro and 500 Jeffrey ammo has been a bit hard to find, but no
more. Now Hornady has the ammo and excellent ammo it is too. The 476 GNR
is also available from a custom reloader or we have the dies and you can
easily load it yourself. Whether you go for the 470, the 500 Nitro, 476
GNR or the 500 Jeffrey, you will have one of the finest dangerous game
rifles made
