Ruger #1 and Sharps Actions

Randy shows his Ruger #1 with modification for top accuracy, as well as his Sharps 7x300 Wby made on an early Sharp’s action. Note that the rings he made for this Ruger were done over 30 years ago and he no longer offers this service.
Les Bowman, Randy’s mentor, and Bill Ruger worked on the early Ruger actions and Bill wanted Les to do a write up on them. Les refused as he saw some problems with the early models. Les and Randy discussed the issues and Randy came up with a way, using his own Ruger #1, to modify parts of the build
In 1969 Les was once again brought into the early development of the Sharp’s single shot action in the transition from Sharp-Borchardt rifle. Les and Mike Keesey from Sharp’s with Randy at the bench, tested out a number of the protypes at the range outside of Cody.Show more
