Still pretty sure lots of money would have helped. 
Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.

Ruger has always built classic rifles. Here is one of the new 416 African rifles compared with a 1907 vintage Jeffery 404. Power, weight, handling and balance are virtually identical. ![[Linked Image]](http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk168/Grizskins/Ruger416ampJeffery404_zps6c6c651d.jpg)

The most great looking Rugers I have seen in a long time. I mean ever. I've got a few but nothing to compare with what I've seen here. Great stuff.
If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.

Here is a Hawkeye in 280 Rem I just got two days ago. Looks quite a bit like the one I just got from CDNN. So far it's done the best with 150gr Ballistic tips over 7828. 3 shots in .800". Could live with that,but have to try to improve on it.

Otter, make sure the magazine box is floating when everything is tightened down. That is the number one thing that screws a Ruger in my opinion. If it isn't floating, deepen the grooves on the front and rear of the mag box with a file until it rattles around a little. It won't rattle once the floorplate is closed.

Those who must raise their voice to get their point across are generally not intelligent enough to do so in any other way.

A simple OM SBH is on the list too. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa437/boxhead61/TonysHunt014.jpg) This one is up there as well. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa437/boxhead61/GreenRifle029.jpg)
