ruger #3??
« on: April 20, 2004, 08:21:42 PM »
I have a very nice ruger #3 in .223 sitting in the safe and like the gun the way it is but I was wondering...

I'd like to have a smaller/short stock 243 and have been playing with the idea of getting a NEF, or maybe one day a ruger #1 but then it occured to me, maybe I could get the #3 I have re-bored to 243. Is this possible? a good thing to do to this #3? and can any gunsmith do this? has anyone done this before? and can you rec a good gunsmith to do this?

thanks

Dave

I wouldn't change the #3.  There enuff people out there that look for these.  You could esily sell it and easily have $ for a NEF or a good jump on the #1.  I've shot both the latter and the #1 just has a certain "feel" to it that I prefer.  TEHO.

I would leave the # 3 as is, it will be a collectors item .

I have two Ruger No. 3's.  The first is a stock .223 rem.  The second is a .22 K hornet.  I love them both.
