I think it's quite nice! What was the original chambering for that action? How's it feed? Ruger actions are a good cheap alternative to the more expensive Winchester Classic actions, especially in stainless.

Thanks for sharing, more details please.

No, it is not for sale. Only have three left-hand 458 Lotts. Not enough to share.

BW,

The Ruger was originally a 7mm Remington Magnum.

The barrel is a match-grade Shilen.

A scope can be mounted on the traditional action location or as a scout-scope on the rib.

The peep sights are New England Custom Gun which are quick detachable and can be carried in your vest and mounted as needed. The front sight shown is a red fiber optic, also from New England, and interchangeable with other New England versions.

Front sight barrel band and rib are Ruger.

The rifle has a barrel-mounted recoil lug. All of it fiberglassed in the factory laminated stock.

Rifle feeds 458 Winchester Magnum and 458 Lott interchangeably (intermixed) with no problems.

The action is slick. The trigger is set at 2 1/2 pounds.

There is one pound of removeable lead in the butt stock. Recoil pad is Pachmayr Decelerator.

Is it for sale (not that I'd buy it)?
