Jimmy MacA couple more Ruger #2's
Here are a couple of mine.
They make a sweet shooting and carrying rifle.
The top one is 45-70. Bottom is .375 Winchester. Both have Vari x III 1.5-5.
Large photo if you have a slow connection.

<Don Martin29>Nice looking rifles. I have hunted with a #1A since 1969 and it's a primary rifle of mine.
I notice that the mounts seem to be Weavers. Is this because they are rebarrelled?
I don't have a cartridge carrier like you do and I just carry a couple of rounds in every pocket. A friend has a cartridge carrier on his coat sleeve held by an armband.

Jimmy MacMany of the #3's were set up for Weaver bases. The barrels are the originals.
I am thinking I will change them over to Millet rings after the season. Just a little nicer looking.

VarminteerMany many years ago I had a Ruger #2 in .223rem. Damm nice setup. The pistol grip stock worked and looked great. I just wish the hammer lock time was faster.

Gator1Did Ruger actually make a #2?

Jimmy MacGator,
A #2 is what the #3 should have been in my opinion.
It is a #3 action, with #1 wood.
