Nice Red Deer rifle. How is the bore and what do you wish to sell it for ?

Fine looking rifle, and you know what you are doing with that DSLR, very crisp work!

Beauty. Hopefully one of these days the planets will align, until then I can still dream about owning one like this!

Thanks for showing us more of this terrific rifle.

Is that a number I see left side, just in front of the receiver, on the barrel?

[Ax.303]

The number on the barrel, just ahead of the receiver is the rifles actual serial number.

The numbers on the scope and the trigger guard or the ones put there by Gibbs.

I suppose then the original military serial number was "3344"? Would the .280 Ross caliber barrel have been the original barrel, or replaced by George Gibbs?

Rob, of course you may submit this serial on the Ross forum. But if you do, please also post the additional pictures of the rifle in an own thread and forward the link to me! Looking to what the guys will say to this rifle over there!

That serial number denotes this rifle having originally been a factory sporter as, the military Rosses only had the serial number marked on there stocks. The 280 caliber would have been the original barrel from the Ross Rifle factory.

The barrel is original factory Ross.

I`m sure the folks at the Ross forum would love to see this splendid rifle.
