Ruger No. 3 quarter rib

[44hunter45]

Those are some serious rings.

Ya, they're beefy.

I was sent some photos of the rib installed.
For the No.1 version I'm going to cantilever over the top of the receiver a little bit, that should give enough space for the higher mag scopes.

30mm rings?

...cantilever will be interesting.

Yes they're 30mm rings, Area 419 makes them.
The overhang on the receiver won't be huge, I don't want it to look goofy.

Got the 1st No.1 version done and mounted.
I mounted a 6-24x56 on there for test fire. Plenty of adjustment for eye relief.

So P-ham set up my 300 H&H #1 with a new barrel and his outstanding new quarter rib mount. The old barrel was frustrating me as I couldn’t get decent accuracy with anything approaching 300 HH published velocity. Would have been satisfied with the attached group, 5 Shots, 180gr Accubonds; 72 gr Rl 26; 3003fps with a SD 6 shot with a full value wind at 300 yards. This was shot at 300 yards a couple days ago. Think I’ll be sending Paul some more #1s
Scope is a VX5 3.5x15x44
She just earned the starting line up spot for my moose hunt this year.

The posted target was 100yd or 300yd?

300 yards Paul that’s pretty dog gone good for a 100 year old, largely ignored cartridge

That's better than most people are capable of shooting. Mighty fine trigger work!

Viva la 300 H&H...

Y’all paid a lot of money to send me to training all over the country for 20 years so I could shoot like that when needed. The real art was not that I managed to pull a 1/2 moa group but in the quality of the system you put together. There are other groups on that target that are 1 to 1 1/4 moa, just average shooting with an accurate rifle at that distance. I get lucky every once in a while. Thanks again for your fine work.
