Old Doe,
is this your rifle?

Red Pad? serial # prefix?
Nice wood, black pad, not a bad buy.
If you ever decide to trade, I have a ruger no. 1 tropical, 375 H&H mag, with a pachmyer decelerator recoil pad on board. Would throw in all my 375 stuff on the trade[bullets, brass, loading dies, reloads/factory loads]. I used this gun in Africa, in 2011 to take a cape buff and a tuskless cow ele. PM me if you get interested.

I had one just like it. Sold it on here but can't remember to whom. Had a NECG peep and nice wood on the butt. Shot real well
Lately I have had one hell of an itch for a No. 1.
Would likely go for a 30-06, 308, or maybe a 300WM but I just don't see many here on the forum.
