50th Anniversary No. 1 .308 Win

Post by Rugerologist »

My local gun shop guy sent me this via text a few days ago. Thought I'd share.

A little late I know but I thought it was pretty.

what I know about these they are making 1000 of them and have an MSRP of 2199. I wonder how well they will sell, since there is still a number of WBR rifles for sale out there and only 100 of those were made...

Very desirable, just too costly for a 1K issue. WBR 100th nice, but could not afford it at $2300 last I looked. I have some nice pics someone emailed of the 50th, very nice looking rifle, pre-orders for 50th on Rugerforum $1699 shipped.

He said he didn't have any takers on it. My thoughts also....very nice....a bit pricey.

I haven't seen any decent photos of this could you post them here or send them to me via PM..1699 is starting to get below my squeal factor..with a 1000 being made maybe the price will come down a bit more :?:

This is forwarded along from RocDoc.

I think the problem was that it was a TIFF image. I opened with another program and saved it as a JPEG and that did it.
