Ruger Mk.2 in 280 Remington

[Dantforth]

Rifle is being offered to me. Serial number is 791-35568. Condition is 95%. Can anyone help me with whether or not this rifle is rare or scarce? I checked my Reference of Ruger Firearms and it states highest known SN id 791-02816 and lists it as scarce. Thoughts? Dave

"Rare or scarce" only because it's not a popular caliber. Many more 30-06 and 270 were made which are similar in performance.

Blued and walnut I'd say uncommon but not rare or scarce. I've seen a fair number over the years. My MkII 280 is number 792-47049...but it's a stainless , black laminate RBBZ model...that you can classify as rare or scarce. The stainless and brown laminate sporter models were around for a few years also but Id guess in a lot fewer numbers than the blued and walnut models. No matter what though if it's in nice shape and the price is right I'd snag that 280!

Thanks for the quick replies. I have decided to pass unless the price improves. David
