I don't recall ever seeing a faux sidelock Ruger before. LOT of work in that rifle...

This guy has a few nice ones. Looks like out of the same estate.

How does one keep from eating that yard long scope? Maybe a 22LR?

.243?!?!?!.... of all the cool classic calibers he could have asked for....
I bet that decision costs the estate $2000
he could have chosen 7x57R.... or any of a number of other classic british or euro calibers.... I bet it would sell for a LOT more.
Maybe 9.3x74R in a plain jane/plain wood no1 won't sell (even at CDNN blowout prices), but ONE custom no 1 that looks like that in that caliber or something similarly exotic, perhaps the above mentioned 8x68S... THAT would find a buyer who could afford it!
also, what's up with the knife edge leading edge of the comb?
any thoughts?

That little custom Ruger is gun art at its finest.
