Sounds interesting, but only those registered on http://www.rossrifle.com can see what you are trying to link to.
BTW, those wanting to register must email the site owner as due to spambots etc. he had to make registration purely manual.
Some folks parted with copious good coin for commercial Ross rifles. And another person got a lot of books for fair money.
Oh for the misfortune to be north of the razor wire, and to have champagne tastes and beer pockets!:lol:
Both fantastic rifles! I thought it curious that the slightly better condition of the 90% rifle brought it over $800 more than the other, which featured a rather rare and period-correct, Ross-specific Lyman, likely mounted from new. You could probably buy a new entry-level bolt gun off the rack for what that sight would fetch on the right day. Such are the vagaries of auctions.
Perhaps the buyer didn't recognize the sight and thought it was a detraction? Superb rifles, but they can be made to blow back. I have the remains of one here to prove it.
I don't put a lot of faith in the pronouncements of salesmen at the best of times, but when they're prefaced with "supposedly".....Quote:
