Looked up the serial on the scope. Appears to be a 1974 model

Neat. I recently helped a buddy get a vari x ii off of here and its serial number doesnt have a letter. Its pre 1974 and looks as good as it would have brand new

Great setup for anybody, even better for a kid. Looking forward to some LDPs

Cooper’s First Gun

Dad won a gun raffle a couple months back and didn’t want the firearm, so he decided to trade it in and get my son his first real gun. Ruger American Compact in .243. He also gave me one of his vintage Leupold scopes to mount on it as well. Looking forward to getting some range time and eventually getting Cooper comfortable enough to harvest his first animal with it.

Hey make sure you check the free float it you can’t get it group tight my stock in my .270 American touched in Several places they are know for sub par crooked cheap stocks. I was shooting flyers and bad groups even when I was reloading, come to find out the stock was shaped like a snake could even slide a dollar half way up between the barrel n stock lol a little sanding if a few places helped a lot

Appreciate the heads up! Picking up rings tomorrow and hopefully get it dialed in this week at the range.

Haven’t made it to the range yet... did buy a can for him so while waiting for that to get out of BATFE jail, I had my gunsmith thread it and put the ASR muzzle break on. Also had him put one on my 30.06 as well. Picked them up today. I’ll head to the range soon to zero them.
