Didnt he put a bunch of his guns up for sale somewhere awhile back?
Huge collection of Ruger firearms. I’m guessing most were given to him or purchased at a steep discount, but maybe muledeer could elaborate,
I read somewhere, probably in one of his books, that he was involved in the design of the m-77 stock. probably had a long standing relationship with Bill Ruger.
I believe Lenard Brownell helped with the Ruger Stocks, Carmichel helped design the Remington Classic stock.
I think that's right. I do remember him writing about the classic beauty and function of the Ruger stock. It made a life long impression on me as a teenager. I still to this day hate a Monte Carlo. My first rifle at 14 was a Ruger 77 round top in 270 I had my dad special order for me. About a year later I read he and Jack O'Conner both thought the 280 a better round, but it only nagged at me a little bit. The scope that went on the rifle was a 2.5 X 8 Leupy and despite the odds it never failed me.
