Very nicely sporterized MkII, last one I promise!

I've been wanting an original Ross Commercial sporter for a while and a few weeks ago I found a very nicely converted MkII on CGN and could not pass it up. It may not be the real thing but I think I will tide me over with a beautiful handy hunting rifle that I won't be afraid to use. Whoever did this one was a real craftsman! *Down the road I'll rust blue this one, the bluing was toast, and I think it is nice enough that it deserves a little time put into it. I wonder if this one would like the 220gr 308 bullets? If it does it will be a great woods rifle and a pleasure to carry on the horse as it is super light and sits on my back quite nicely.

Awesome Sporter! Niceely done! Salt Flat

That's a very nicely done sporter, and a nice original rear sight on it too! A cut down Mk II* I would say. How's the bore?

Ed: the bore is near mint. It has a few tiny little pin prick pits about 2-3" in that you cant even see unless you really look. The lands are sharp and shiny and the grooves are deep and shiny as well. The throat and chamber look brand new. Crown job doesn't look too bad, so fingers crossed. Going to try and find that elusive .308 Win neck sizing die so I can try the .308 220gr bullets in this one and my MkI*. The rear sight is fully functional on it too!
