Just returned from SHOT. (sorry, if i haven't responded fully to your emails ; tried to keep up best I could)

Its looking really good for the Ruger 1-A in 275 Rigbt (really a &x57 mauser, of course). They haven't said 'no' by ant means AND have asked for a sample of our wood. We bought 120 nice blanks from New Zealand in for this reason. Not as fancy as the ones we use on our Coopers but from the same supplier. They will range from good to quite fancy and will be fairly dark in most cases and quite dense wood.

Assumming the wood is approved, we should be ready to go. These rifles will be prices , from a bit more than regular #1's up to close to $2000 (we will send in a a few quite high grade blanks) Once its 100% approved, we'll start taking deposits. Other than perhaps a sequence of serials and the wood, these should be dtandard 1-A's. Only other thing we are currently looking at is a 24" barrel instead of the 22". It would still carry very well, of course.
Suggestions appreciated!!
 
I'm just curious - why a rebadged 7x57 with fancy wood, when "The Leopard" was basically the same thing?
 
Now if they'd do flat top checkering and Boddington sights .................., call it the "Ruger Old English", ..............but then, I can do that, and give it an old oil finish!!!

Guess you'll have to keep me posted on these.

I'm also interested to see final product. Would have to be 24" barrel as I wish our .303's had been. Also wish Ruger would go with red pads again.
Also will have to wait in line after the Winchester 70's that I PM'd Clay about hint,hint).
