Very nice , but I just bought my last turnbolt rifle,a RUGER HAWKEYE in 257 ROBERTS, this is a great rifle!, and a RUGER VAQUERO in 44 mag, thank GOD for BILL RUGER and ECONOMIC STIMULUS CHECKS!
I think the Ruger short-barrelled carbines are at their best with a caliber in the .243 to 7mm range...the Swedish 6.5 is a fantastic round in a carbine--I'm still looking for a nice 94 mauser, I wouldn't change a thing about it, a perfect example of a military carbine that got it right the first time around.
But all the same...
I'd like the Ruger M77 MkII in stainless...with full-length synthetic mannlicher-style stock...in .35 0r .400 Whelen. I know you can put a scope on the mannlicher-stocked guns but they are so much better looking with just iron sights. And an iron-sighted gun should have a bone-crunching meduim-range round to go with it.
Good looking rifle, interesting caliber. But none for southpaws
