jonesmd4, yep, enjoy the levers. A lot. But, I did keep my Ruger#1B in 30-06. Just can' t seem to part with that one. I mean, it is sort of a lever! Do like the #1's.

Yep, can't argue with that. I have a #1 '06 RSI red pad that shoots factory 150's around MOA. I've not worked up loads, but think it should do better than that. Trigger is excellent, has some grain pattern in the wood. I like my scope set back a bit, so used a rail to position the rear ring over the action. Not as pretty as conventional rings, but works well with low Weavers.
