I ended up with a rifle that feeds and functions as smoothly and reliably as my FN .35 Whelen - and that is saying a lot!

So in my opinion, the Ruger/Mauser combination is almost a perfect match as long as one gets the right gunsmith to dothe work.

I coudn't resist.

That rifle looks so damn nice that I'd almost be tempted to send my Model 50 to Mr. Leeper for the exact same rifle. But, alas, the wallet is empty. Very very nice classy rifle!!!!
