Re: 50th Anniversary Hawkeye

Well, look at the flat bolt 50th Anniversary rifle Terry Wolosek talked Ruger into putting together on Classicsporting arms.com. Limited to 77 pieces.

Re: A hollow bolt is heading south!

Well, I have been retired for less than two weeks and I haven't worked this hard in a long time. I want to get pictures up but "catching up on things" is getting in the way. Anyway, got the rifle a few days ago and it is nicer than I thought. The blued steel is almost perfect, a little fin...

Re: A hollow bolt is heading south!

No, that Fairlane is as much out of my price range now as it was then, probably more so! But I am getting a 427. The serial number of the hollow bolt heading my way is 70-40427! With the number of grandchildren we have, my last automotive purchase was a twelve passenger van. Certainly not the most p...

A hollow bolt is heading south!

I am retiring this week and had my retirement party last week where my co-workers presented me with a cash gift. It is being turned into an unmolested 77R hollow bolt in 7mm Rem. When it arrives I will post some pictures. I have been told these early heavier Douglas barrelled rifles are really good ...

Re: Ruger subscribers and their numbers

Oh, I almost forgot. What about Tom Ruger's number 5 guns? I believe the association with Mr. Ruger made them more desirable than simply single digit guns. Seems like I saw a picture of one posted here recently.

Best regards,

Re: Ruger subscribers and their numbers

ruger66, I actually did know that the Ruger subscription program has ended. By your comment are you implying that the information is no longer relevant to Ruger collecting? Tell that to those lucky or well heeled enough to have serial number 15 guns. Which was Elmer Keith's number, by the way.

Ruger subscribers and their numbers

Does anyone know if there is a compiled list of the subscribers to the Ruger low serial number subscription program and their numbers? I understand as members dropped out for whatever reason, their number was sometimes reassigned. Also, did some have more than one number? The dates that the subscrip...

Re: 2ndANNUAL ROCS IN ROCKET CITY!! DISPLAY SHOW

Thanks, Charlie, you are right and I am in contact with someone about that one gun. I also want to say it was a pleasure for Bonnie and I to meet and talk with you and your wife.

Re: 2ndANNUAL ROCS IN ROCKET CITY!! DISPLAY SHOW

My wife and I were able to get to the show on Saturday and see the displays and more importantly meet some of the members. The displays were excellent and the members were very gracious and of course knowledgeable in a field In which I have a keen interest, Ruger firearms. I have been mulling over i...

Looking for the box for 780-77832

I have 780-77832 Express Rifle with the wrong box, but it is the right caliber and configuration. I think maybe two rifles got put in wrong boxes. If you have mine, I probably have yours.
