Not sure the age of the rifle, I'm the third or fourth owner. John Barsness used to own this one. That made load-development a snap as he'd published loads he worked up for this particular rifle!
It's been around at least 15 years I'd guess. I've had it on several bear & elk hunts. John took it to Africa, twice I believe.
Standard Ruger rings, 1.5-5x Leupold sighted in at 200 yards. Works great!

That's very cool that you know it's history, I'd like to know where and what my 25yo rifle ran into in its time. It's gotta have got those character marks from somewhere.
Cheers, Scott.
