A couple of interesting SS's from SCI and ACGG shows in Reno.

First a wonderful Farquharson by Al Lind at ACGG

A break action ss in 7x75R by Philipp Oliendorff at SCI

A sideplated Ruger No.1 from Mark Stratton at ACGG

An engraved Ruger No.1 from Ruger's new Custom Shop at SCI

Sorry for quality of the images...

Great Pics!!! Do you have any more eye candy for us???

I wonder if Ruger charges extra for musket grip?

Again great pics. I wish I could have seen the shows.

Thanks for the great photographs. They are stunning examples of the gunmakers art. I didn't realize what great work Al Lind is doing these days. He lives about 25 minutes north of me.

Thank you very much for sharing. My favorite is the sideplated Ruger No.1 from Mark Stratton at ACGG. I have never really liked the profile of the Ruger No.1 but the sideplates sure remedy this, something Ruger should look into getting into production in a higher line No.1 rifle IMHO

Say something like this Dakota 280? This will be the 20th anniversary raffle item for the ACGG show.

...rugers now have a custom shop that provides custom engraving...the picture was probably taken from the recent sci-reno show where they featured the work of paul lantuch (?) on a no. 1, rsm 77 and vaquero...

The engraved Rugers are indeed part of Ruger's new addition, except for the Mark Stratton Rifle.

The Dakota Rifle is the new raffle rifle offered by the ACGG, to be awarded next January at the annual exhibition. If you are lucky enough to be drawn, a $20 raffle ticket could win you a very nice rifle.
