Lovely Springfield. I would appreciate that Ruger "African" in .275/7x57 or maybe a .243 or .250 Savage. Low recoil.

I really want one of these but I already have a CZ 550 in 6.5x55.  But the Rugers certainly are lovely.

Why in the corn bread is the 6.5x55 so danged much cheaper than the 35 Whelen model? Same danged rifle!?

Edit to add... I want the 6.5x55 also. I would love a 8x57 also.

The Ruger found Wyoming at last. I had 2 loads to try, and one grouped 1 1/4 and the other less than a inch. I am very happy with the gun.

You got MUCH better figured walnut than I did. Great looking rifle!!

That’s how rifles should be made.

If you like peep sights, you might be interested in one of these for your new acquisition.  I have these on a couple of my rifles and they work great.
