I know this thread is a little old but for future reference… here’s how I get around Rugers arbitrary customer service rules concerning parts that your rifle didn’t come with. Find a NIB rifle that came factory with the parts you want for sale online with actual photos and get the SN. When you...

The rifle is currently a 30-06 but I just can’t let great be good enough so it’s getting a 21”McGowen .35 Whelen barrel. Through some persuading and careful choice of words to Rugers customer service department, I aquired a front and rear sight set off a Hawkeye African. Some would take issue...

Curious what your guys thoughts are? This is a stock for a correct hand model 70 project I’m working on for myself. I like the color of it here, just mineral spirits to expose the grain. I’m going to do a hand rubbed oil finish on it before sending it out to get checkered. I’m kicking around...

No longer available. I spotted an ever elusive left hand Stainless Laminate Hawkeye in 25-06 on GB and the seller was willing to make a trade . A guy had been searching for that exact rifle for months! Thanks for everyone’s interest!

There’s a classic sporter in 30-06 on GB right now… I’ve been looking for one for a long time but it’s always been 7mm & 338 magnums that pop up for the most part.

I’m possibly in the market for a Sako AV in 375 H&H. I’m curious if anyone happens to know the weight of one of these rifles wearing the factory wood stock. Thanks

Odd question, does anyone have an African in 375 Ruger and can tell me the diameter at the tip? Thanks in advance.

I forgot to mention, I’ve been looking at the Kahles Helia S 2.2-9x42 as well.

Hi everyone, I have an old tang saftey Ruger in .270 that I’m looking for a scope to put on. It’s a beautiful rifle and I can’t stomach to put a matte scope on it, seeing there’s no new options in gloss out there today I’ve hit the used/vintage market. I’ve narrowed it down to either a West...
