Sometimes one just....

Great comments from the Bill Ruger club. I had a number one in 6mm Rem that was featured in this deal. That rifle had actually been out to Baker Mt. area on previous PD hunt. It was a go to rifle at dogs over 300-400 yds. The forearm hanger was also drilled and tapped for tuner. Actually how it is related is it went down road to dealer in trade for this 45-70 #1. It was one of what they call now "pre warning" era and the trader really wanted it. It fetched twice the amount I'd paid for it plus had been a good shooter for my turn with it. In previous photo the balance point is right about were that cartridge is standing.
With the Breako mercury recoil reducer installed and all total weight is 12 lbs. I put all that hide on the butt stock to protect some beautiful wood. As it appears this project is intended a shooter and not a safe Queen. At about 1300 fpm speed limit for all loads this rifle should make a good rehab tool for wimpy shoulder while it heals.
