I have acquired a very cool Lipsey"s Ruger #1a, 257 Roberts. Installed a Hicks accurizer and free floated the forend, and with Nosler brass, 100 gr Nosler BT bullets, and Big Game powder, it"s an inch shooter. Chrono velocity is 3100 fps. This rifle, all up, is right at 8 lbs, and is an absolute joy to shoot. I cannot wait to go forth and slay whitetails with it!
I'd rather be a free man in my grave, than living as a puppet or a slave....
