My new toy

is a Ruger No1 'Varminter' in .220 Swift.

In 'as new' condition and has fired less than a hundred rounds.
Came with a Swift 4-12 scope mounted, Lee dies, 14 factory loads and 86 once fired Winchester cases.

All up $700.oo in the local devalued currency.
Bought it mainly with the youngest sprout in mind.

Some long range fox busting in mind though :D

Nice looking rifle and scope. And.... you got the dies to reload for it. What more could a man ask?
