Thanks, I do find it very attractive as well. Like all Scotch Deerstalkers, it is a .280.

More questions, is that the safety on the bolt? I see the scotch rifles dont have the Harris lever, Are they harder to load with out it?
What a fine rifle.
AKA garyg, depending on how confused and which computer Im on.

W-R, to my eyes, produced some of the lurvliest of the Brit-o rifles. A fella here has a W-R 'take-apart' that is the epitome of slender grace.
Rigby's are all right, too. ;~`)
Relax; we're all experts here.

I had to laugh at an old add I saw for the Ross .280 that had a testimonial of a chap that killed a mountain goat at over 1 mile away!!!!!!!!!!!

'Twasn't a goat but a Desert Bighorn ewe, estimated to have been 1,800-2,000 yards from the open-sighted Ross muzzle.
Ralph Edmonds of Idaho Falls pulled the trigger on this one and a small lamb at a mere 800 yards. There was a write-up on Edmonds' trip in Outdoor Life about 1915, and he is pictured with the slain sheep in Ross advertising of the period.

I keep telling you guys, the .280 cartridge and the rifle it was chambered in were way ahead of its time  Grogel - yes, the safety is on the bolt. And no problem pushing cartridges into the magazine without the Harris lever.
