My dr said no shooting for the next month after my recent back surgery so I have had ample time to peruse the internet which may be a bad thing or at the least an expensive thing. I have been talking to Lee at The Arms Room about converting my Model 71 to a takedown and adding a Ruger No 1 quarter rib to it to mount a scout scope. Do I need a takedown? No, not really but I have always wanted one and they just look cool. I think the Ruger rib will look a little better than just a picatinney rail on it. I will use the Alaska Arms QD rings on it and maybe a Vortex or Leupold scout scope. The rifle is not a collector grade and has extra holes so I am not mutilating a pristine example. It ain’t cheap but it is a lot less money than I thought it would be.
