Picked up the #1 yesterday, got out of work early and went by Cabelas. Being an FFL I should know better but I didn't look it over very well. He pulled it out of the box and I looked quickly for scratches or other problems then boxed it up. The front sight looked weird but I was trying to hurry so I never looked very close. When I got home I found out the front sight was broken off, part was still in the dove tail but the rest was nowhere to be found. I spent 30 minutes on hold between the Cabelas League City store and the 1 800 Cabelas customer service before I could talk with someone about it. Supposedly Ruger is going to mail me a front sight. I was hoping to shoot it this weekend so now I have to mount a scope in order to shoot it.

:thumbs2:If I had the money I'd have one on the way. I will have to be satisfied to hear you talk about yours.

You'll have to meet me at PSC and shoot it.

I may take you up on that. I'll bring my .444 Marlin.

Sounds like it will be high power day, I'll bring the Marlin 45-70 and the T/C S&W 500 too. By the time we're done our shoulders will be trashed.

Doesn't anybody have a McMillan TAC .50 to help these two fools out?

I'll also bring the 458 SOCOM too, it's recoil is mild compared to the S&W 500.

You need one but you don't know it yet.

I'm drawn to heavy calibers like a Democrat to a government hand out.

That's a good deal, and that's a caliber I'd certainly consider for that rifle, although I've always had an inexplicable desire to own and shoot a .416 Rigby.

I'm trying to talk myself out of it but the price is so good. Of course it would be a safe queen, once I bought it I would not shoot it much but it would be nice to take a hog with it. I keep justifying in my mind due to the price, even at wholesale I will never seen one that cheap.

If it were advice from anyone else but that douche I would.......
