Well gentlemen, it seems to me that Canada may be in the midst of a new era. Harper is in, and in to stay. The Liberal machine is in ruins. In consequence, the economy of Canada is roaring, the dollar is at an unprecedented high, and everyone looks forward to a time of economic growth and human progress.
Who knows? We may even be able to retain ownership of our guns for an indefinite period of time. When Harper wins his majority, we may see the end of the useless registration program, and the relentless campaign of the gun grabbers may be dealt a setback from which it might never recover.
In keeping with the current state of the nation, I give you the rebirth of a Canadian classic. Perhaps it is not a military surplus item, per say, but I think the audience in this forum will greatly appreciate it. It is the old 280 Ross, rebuilt and reborn.
I bought it off Tiriaq some years ago and display it here for the first time. It handless like a dream, and the sites are simply outstanding, and ultra cool to boot. Who knows? The day may come when Canada rediscovers the merits of this fine old rifle and cartridge, and puts it back into production. The Jerries are making their old assault rifles again, and I see no reason why we cannot do something similar. The day may come. But if it never does, please enjoy these pictures.
