Blued Ruger 25-06 skeleton

[dbunch12]

I just acquired a Ruger Skeleton in 25-06 with blued barrel and receiver. It was made in 01' as part of the "Davidson's Special". What i'm needing to know is, how many 25-06's were made blued like mine? It has the black inserts as well. Any info would be appreciated from you guys that know. Thanks in advance

just wanting to know how many were made blued in 25-06..anybody have any idea what the twist would be in these guns? it has 24" barrel

The twist should be 1in10. As far as numbers go , someone will come along sooner or later. I dont have my old RENE notes handy at the moment.

There may be a few more than this...but not many. Davidson's quit sending me all the good info right after those guns were made.

Ruger probably put the arm on them.

Right on..thanks for diggin into it for me fellers..what would this gun be worth roughly? The bluing and all metal surfaces are mint..not one ding or scratch anywhere..the stock is 95+% with some light oxidation..very light
