That’s a fair deal on a 133 series Ruger.Spotted this for about 1500 dollars - seems fair to expensive to ship to Europe but seems decent
Simpsons has some good deals from time to time.

I looked at that as well. While I do not at all like the 1960-70's Monte Carlo stock, it looks like a solid rifle with decent wood, that a proper stock maker could trim down to the English Express Rifle style. FN 98 action, that Husqvarna bought,,then barreled in Sweden and finished the rifles. These are a sleeper buy.
And that Husqvarna 640, in 9.3x62 is tempting. Yes, the 2" crack behind the tang, and stock scratches are an issue. I have owned 3 of these Husky 640s built on FN Belgium M98 actions. I just throw away the beechwood stocks and replace with a proper slim M98 express stock.
Except one, a .270 Winchester that I bought for my Dad, and hunted together.
Ugly stock and all, I'm just keeping it.

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.

2,822fps, ES 8.2
This compares favorably to 7 Rem Mag. with less powder & recoil.

I know that this thread is more than a year old but as a new member I thought I would pass along my .280AI loading.
I am shooting F Open long range rather than hunting but here is what is working for me and I have managed a 198.14 at 800 meters.
That is for 20 shots. The 14 are X's which is a 5" circle.

Have twice tried to post something that your site canned as "SPAM" or some problem.. "Contact the Administrator"... Not sure why even the "Contact" button would not send my comment so you only received my query but not the content in question. I'll see if I can get it to you this way... NOPE I use a VPN and perhaps that is causing me grief...
