Guys,

Well I finally got the rifle.
From what PJGunner explained or should I say educated me as to the different models it’s a 1A . 22” barrel with 1” scope rings . It has a Ruger red recoil pad . Bad news is the first 3 digits of the serial number are
131 , so if what I’ve been reading on here and other sites is correct it has a poorly manufactured and farmed out barrel .
In spite of that and since I just bought 250 , 55 grain and 70 grain Nosler Varnagdedon heads , I’m going to load up and shoot .
Who knows .

PA boys good luck tomorrow. I’ll be in a tree stand in Lycoming County .
Be safe , have a good time .
