Pre-28, left the factory in 1955 (lettered). Somewhere in it's life it was sent off to be engraved by a "house" in Mainz Germany, back when you could ship a gun in the mail, I emailed another engraver in that area and that was his conclusion. Relative value I don't know, it shoots good and I...
Seems like Ruger could just use the Ruger Scout platform and offer it in .44 mag to satisfy the nostalgia crowd, and another caliber for the straight-walled cartridge hunting crowd. I enjoy mine in .450BM as a handloader, some don't care for the "blast" of that round, .44 mag could be an option.
I still have my 49/56 which I reload for, sold off my two M36's. I enjoy the semi a whole lot more for a decent shooter, the ergonomics of it, 10 round mags that are easy to switch out. From my perspective of 32 years of army time, I like the compactness of this rifle and it's ruggedness for a...
Remington used to make a Model-788 bolt gun chambered for .223, I found one recently so I could work with heavier bullet rather than my A4 carbine. So far it's been a fun rifle, older school but their out there if you shop around.
In the time it took to check out my M100 recently, another one came into the lgs from another old timer being done with hunting. This one is open sights, very nice condition overall so it also went home with me today, traded a Savage M99 in .308 for it. Must have been a popular rifle in this...
The only takeaway I picked up on was " a young newbie shooter who picked up reloads at the gunshow", something we all should know not to trust. It was stated they were loaded to max, the young guy just did not know what he was using from lack of experience. Good that someone helped him out though.
I did get a chance to shoot my M100 yesterday, more so for a function check. It cycled well and decently sighted in from the original owner, will be a decent backup rifle for this deer season. A nice compact rifle, good balance.
I recently acquired a Model 100 in .308, checkered with swivels and an old school Redfield scope, I don't know enough about them to answer your question. Found it at my lgs, a trade in from an old timer, very nice condition with some honest wear on it. There was a recall on them over the years...
I was at Bagram also around 2012 and saw many of those same rifles, some were probably legit but many were also Kyber Pass copies. There was a website I found at the time that explained the many proof stamps found on those rifles, some just did not match up historically to proper years of...
If you can find one, an older school Remington M788 in .223 would make a good walkaround gun. I found one earlier this year at the lgs, hefty little rifle with a reddish color in the stained wood stock. I still have not shot it yet but am happy to have found a bolt rifle for that caliber. I've...
Was the red paint to signify a Lend Lease rifle and chambered for 30-06 rather than .303? To avoid confusion from P14 rifles still in use by the Brit Home Guard?
I bought this HP in 2003 for 300 singles, I had it lettered from the factory. It left in 1955 to a hardware warehouse in Portland OR, it was in a relatives estate in Illinois when I purchased it. NOT factory engraved but from my research the work was done by a family shop in Mainz Germany, by...

I have the same rifle, you might consider a stencil kit and rattle can it. I layed on a Rhodesian pattern from the 70's, turned out well. https://www.freedomstencils.com/products/rhodesian-brushtroke-camouflage-stencil-kit if this helps anyone looking for stencils.
Good for you! I own the Ruger Scout in .450BM with walnut stock and it is a beast in the woods for deer, I have thoroughly enjoyed it and the round. I roll my own with a 300 grain JHP. Initially I tried the scout mount for the scope and did not like it, I pulled the rail and plugged the holes. I...
