I've been thinking about a #1 for a long time. 7mm-08. I've never bought a rifle from Cabela's on line. Do you buy it and send it to an FFL?
You order the one you want and pay for it with a credit card online. They will ship it to a Cabela's store near you in your state (free shipping) and you pick it up and do the paperwork there. I don't believe they will ship to another FFL for these on-line orders.
An RSI is the full length Mannlicher stocked model and they all have 20" barrels but someone else might confirm that Ruger didn't make any with 18.5" barrels. I think Cabela's made a mistake with the listings for the 7mm-08's showing a 39.5" OAL and a 38.25 OAL since a 1A Light Sporter will have a 22" barrel and OAL of 38.5" while a 20" RSI should have an OAL of 36.5". No sure how you'd get confirmation of which model is which to order.
The satin blue is a regular polished blue finish.
