<cyberopts>Building custom Ruger #1 in 6.5x55 Swedish
I am interested in building a custom Ruger
#1 in 6.5x55 Swedish. I am not interested
in fancy stockwork or engraving, but a classic-stocked, accurate, no-nonsense
hunting rifle. Does anyone know of a
competent gunsmith who specializes in the
Ruger #1 who could handle this project who
would charge a fair price? Your help will
be greatly appreciated.
