Ross 1905 Sporter

Naaa, not really. I never got into 'em much. The OP's one sure be purdy though.

Gotcha. Then it makes sense how the Win leaf sight looks out of place. It would be a bit of a crime to put a band sight on a 1905 R, they're rare birds these days. Even in their original days too not terribly common in the scheme of things.
 
Just a lovely restoration. Very nice work. That bluing job is exceptional - hot rust or hot?

Regular old hot salt bluing.

That is one of the most amazing creations I have seen on here, well done buddy seriously well done!

Thanks for the compliments!

I don't frequent this section enough, I hadn't noticed this thread was bumped up again.

I'm actually just getting motivated to start work on one more of these, as I have had the barrel blank for a couple years now. I don't quite have all the parts though, such as sights and the barrel band.
 
What a beautiful rifle! And it certainly is unique. The only thing I’d try to do is index those screws in the butt plate.

Great work!
