This one was a Safari Grade.

I have to state it like that, because it realy appealed to me, which is surprising in a way because I'm more of the "Tactical" looking kind of guy, and I'm not talking black rifles, more on the lines of "Sniper" if you will, kind of rifles.
I DO like the looks of the soft-satin finishes used on rifles like the CDL, but that "kinda-heavy" barrel with the thicker front sights, and the rear sights on that Safari grade just "DO" it for me.

Not good, wife will kill me if I ask for another rifle!  :drool:

The sights on the Ruger Alaskan are pretty neat.. Wide sturdy vee in back with a white line in the middle and a husky front partridge style..

I dont have a thousand bucks for the gun, but its exactly what I want. Theres some folks on gunbroker that are pretty much replicating the Ruger, except its based on a Mauser. Its incomplete and sold as a kit, but its pretty much a finsihed rifle.. bad boy something erruther they call themselves.

Boy, I think there were three here localy, one being the Safari Grade I was talking about, the other two being some other model. Is there some other model besides the Safari and the Alaskan, because if there isn't, then the other two have to be the Alaskan's, my buddie bought the Safari.

Just called a friend, he said they were selling for $800.

say, I had my wires crossed. For a while I thought you were refering to the Rems.. Yeah,, the Ruger comes in Alaskan and African.. Pretty much the same rifle except for finish, stock and barrel lenght... The Alaskan comes in the target gray, black, and stainless.
