Now THAT is a good love story. Kinda brings a tear to my eye! Congrats on a great wife. May God bless you for many years to come.

Someone else will have to tell you how rare/common they are. It has been quite a few years but I believe the 220 Swift I had had a varmint barrel. I think I have seen them in 243, 25/06, and 308. I may be wrong on those, however. Some of the experts should show up soon-lol.

Doug-my buddy has a pawn shop and there are 2 of the skeleton stocks there. I think I saw that he was asking around $70 for them. I didn't pay any attention to them to see if they were LA or SA. If that is what you end up doing and you want one of them (if one of them is a SA) I will get it and...

Thanks guys. I knew I very seldom see an RS model but didn't know if it would have an effect on the price or not.

You did really well for yourself with that deal. Congrats on a great rifle!

Flatgate-can you tell on Ruger's website by the serial number which type one is?

If in decent shape sounds like a really good deal.

Thanks men. I appreciate the info!

I believe that I have read on here before that Ruger no longer re-blues some of the older firearms. Does this include a flatgate? Many thanks.

Thanks my friend. Hopefully when we get back from vacation we will be able to go out and hopefully get her problems worked out. Have a blessed week-Eddie

Thanks Ron-understand it better now. She is thinking that the grip is too low. We will experiment and see what works for her. Thanks to all who responded. Eddie

Interesting stuff-when did they (or did they) correct the throat on the Mauser as one day I would like to get another one.
