That's nicer than the last one you posted.
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Thanks for the positive comments. It really is a nice rifle, and all original as far as I can tell. I fired it a few times to sight-in at 200 yards, but I never took it hunting. That was coming this fall, but plans change, you know.
I can't say enough about the 7x57 caliber. It makes just a fabulous deer rifle. It hits hard and leaves big holes with the right bullets, but kick about half as much as a 30-06/180. Those of you that already have and shoot this caliber know what I mean.

I'd love to have it, but been buying too many lately and the wife is looking at me with the frying pan in her hand. I guess I need one upside the head.

Your rifle might be one of Rugers first production runs of the 7X57 rifles. The first run from Ruger if my memory serves me was 5,000 rifles for the 7X57 and 5,000 rifles for the 257Bob.
Does you rifle have a 24" barrel?
