Do you happen to know what weight or contour barrel is on this rifle? Most were C weight barrels, but a few were D weight.
 
Good deal on this rifle package, with ammo components and dies.

These are hard to find these days, and with this deal, no probelms.

That is a nice rifle with nice wood

I have the same gun, with the "D" weight barrel and want nothing less.
Mine weighs 9.5 pound/ w/o scope and sling about 10 .5 pounds with.

These rifles handle very well for the chambering. I have a Leupold 4x on mine.

Just aim and shoot.

Good luck with your sale.
 
Thank you. Yes sir. Recoil not an issue due to the extra weight. Love it and hate to sell but have my eye on a great deal on a double.
 
The #1s are my favorite rifles. This one is a beautiful example of what Ruger once built.
 
On the Lipseys site they list a model 11385
At the top of the page the description says it has a 24" "D" barrel , at the bottom of the page it says it is a 24" barrel ?

They also list a model 11324 , that has a 24" " C " barrel

This is a heavy D. Rifle weighs over 9.5lbs.

Not familiar on how lipseys catalogs their firearms.

I'm unfortunately on a diet. Presently in VA hospital as Agent Orange finally caught up with me. Cancer and I no longer can speak. If all goes well I'll be out of here and back home in Thailand by end of July. Tough road but I'm a tough old guy. I'll make it that hunt.

Nice one there. I guided for mulies and elk for about 10 or so years in northern New Mexico.

Business is the only way to fly. I'm headed to SA August 25. I'm hoping that business isn't an arm and a leg. If you don't mind, what airline and the cost for your trip. Mine will be convoluted. I'll be flying into the states to pick up my 416 Rigby as Thailand doesn't allow firearms (pay no attention to the daily shootings and killings) so I'll have 2 very long trips.
