You can't measure this experience in dollars and cents, but the money that exchanged hands went to help two very special people and the gun is back in the family. As I say, Dad died in 2001. Before that he gave us a Ruger 77 in .257 Rbts, a Sako Vixen heavy barrel .222 Rem Mag, and his Ithaca SKB 20 ga. A year or 2 ago I was able to acquire his Ruger #1S in 45-70 with a red pad and 130 prefix. I AM a lucky man and I know it.
