Well, to continue my saga with the Ruger No1 in 303. NIOA, the Australian importer of Ruger has recognised that I had a dud and has replaced it with a new No1 in 303. My local gun store, Cleavers, got sick of waiting for it so sent one of their own staff down the road to NIOA- abougt 20 mins each way- to pick it up. My LGS had aske NIOA to pick one with good timber on it. The stock is nice and does have some good figure in it. Now to see what it will do.

Bit of a shame I couldn't pick it up yesterday as I was at the range this morning.
