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.
“There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”
Edward Bernays, 1928
Much changes, much remains the same.
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!
Some do, some don't; some will, some won't; I might ...
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.
