The rarest VT Ruger made was the 22PPC and 6PPC only made for 2 years. Ruger lost a copyright infringement case by the inventors after they copyrighted PPC.
Ruger seemed to do that frequently. I have a really nice stainless m77 mk2 chambered in 300 RSAUM. They only made that rifle for 1 year, before they got their titties in a ringer over it. Somehow it infringed on something to do with the WSM's. Probably why they started to make their own rendition of the short magnums. 300 and 338RCM.
The NeedMore came with a 28 inch barrel... I however never jumped on the bandwagon for the caliber, because I've been shooting the 260 since it came out back in 1998. They put a 28 inch barrel on it, so it wasn't going to be SLOWER than the 260 is all.
The cartridge and the rifles are very accurate in the Ruger VT. Seems to me the popularity of the cartridge, and the rifle having a good reputation, plus with the grey laminate stock, its an attractive set up. I'm not a buyer of rifles that people are asking top price for, but I'm not other people.
If the stock is not dinged up, the barrel shot out, and you include the factory scope rings...I'd ask in the $950 range...
There are enough Creedmore believers out there, you'll get it.. just have to wait for the right buyer...
Toss in, that is out of production, the right buyer would probably pay more..
just my 2 cents....
Possible, but not likely. Like I said in the other thread he started, there was one that sold on GB for $855.00 a month ago. Others listed in the $1,000.00 range just sit, and those are NIB rifles.
