Ruger M77MKII RSI model (full stock) 6.5x55 chambered (limited run of 250 by Lipseys) Stainless barreled action 18" barrel Open sights Ruger medium height stainless rings Weaver 2-10x38 stainless scope installed and sighted in (scope is about $175 on line)
Rifle shot well with Winchester factory PowerPoint ammo out of the box and with handloads with 130 Accubonds. Immediately found a load and stopped shooting. Harvested a small buck at around 200 yards with the Accubond this fall and put the rifle away. Total round count around 30-ish.
Love the rifle, but cutting back on items that will just sit in the closet. Shoots well (obviously in limited testing) and handles great - just want to stick with the rifles that I don't mind having in the weather and shoot a lot. Makes a great stand rifle due to the short length and balances well for carrying as well.
Only mark that I know of is a very small one on top of the scope just forward of the eyepiece bell on the main tube.
Can ship in a hard case from my FFL to yours or do a face to face if you're a MO resident. MSRP on these is $950 as I recall and they are long since sold out. They are selling new (but obviously without scope) for around $875 from what I've seen. That, plus this scope would be around $1050 new and unfired. My door to door price for the whole package including scope is $850.
Haven't taken actual photos yet, so a Lipsey's file photo is attached for initial reference. I can take pictures in the next evening or so and post or email to you.
Please reply or PM with any questions or offers. Thanks for looking.

My apologies to mopaneMike as I neglected to put in the post that I couldn't ship to CA. Unfortunately I was not able to come up with any dealer in my area who could ship there and we agreed to cancel the sale before any money had changed hands. Thanks to mopaneMike for his understanding on this.
Rifle is still available at $825 including scope shipped from my FFL to yours (just not in CA) in a hard case.

For the benefit of the few who have asked about trades:
I am primarily interested in an outright sale, but would consider a nice .22 (Browning T-bolt or semi auto, etc.) or perhaps even a 28 ga. double. However, the main interest is in selling rather than trading.
Thanks again for looking!

Thanks for the offer but my Belgian Browning shotgun interest is for sentimental reasons (I have my hunting shotguns set) so as nice a gun as that 303 is I will have to respectfully pass. Thanks.
