Gentlemen,
Below are pictures & info on a rifle I purchased in October of this year. After receiving the rifle I sent a PM to Chuck requesting any and all info that he and John could provide. I will let Chuck tell you about the origin of these rifles as best as can be documented.
Here's what I did know about the base rifle,
In 1997 stock maker Fajen did a special run of less than 700 Hi-Combed Tu-Tone brown laminated Silhouette Target stocks for a Ruger new special distributor's model 10/22 T-TS rifle.
The stock featured the word "RUGER" in large dark letters etched into the butt stock recess. They featured Ruger's new 18" Hammer Forged Spiral Finish Target Barrel, with a known (RENE) serial number range of #246-86224 to #246-86729 & #248-47836 to #248-71627. These rifles are very scarce and sell in the $750.00 to 1K range N.I.B.
My rifles features,
Serial #246-86618
Fajen Hi-Combed, Tu-Tone Brown laminated Silhouette stock with "RUGER" in large letters etched into the stocks recess with "White Barn Limited Edition" etched below. Ruger 18" Hammer Forged Spiral Finished .920 Target barrel with the Chief AJ Logo 1 of 22 on it, the barrel was Hand Lapped and Polished.Trigger group tricked out with trigger stop, automatic bolt release, custom mag release, polished jeweled bolt and a trigger pull of a little less than 2 lbs. It came with a Leupold BR-36X-D Target Scope and a heavy duty airline approved molded aluminum case. Case with rifle in it weighs 22 lbs.
The whole package is like new.
