Sturm Ruger & Co ~ Model No. 3 ~ .45-70 Gov

Description:
For 13 years, Ruger produced an inexpensive yet elegantly simple falling-block single-shot rifle, the Ruger No. 3. Based on the company's more aristocratic No. 1 under-lever John Farquharson-style single-shot rifle, except in a simpler "American" design that evoked memories of the old Sharps series from the late 19th century, the No. 3 was introduced in 1973. Using an uncheckered stock with a barrel band on the forearm, the Ruger No. 3 had a 22-inch barrel and a lightweight – just 6 pounds – with an adjustable rear leaf sight and gold bead front. A sliding tang safety and smooth furniture crafted out of American walnut rounded out the rugged and reliable rifle. Across its production, the Ruger No. 3 was chambered in .22 Hornet, .30-40 Krag, .45-70 Govt., .223 Rem., .44 Mag., and .375 Winchester. Asking price, when introduced, was $165 Acording to Ruger's serial number database, this particular gun was manufactured in 1983. Production of the Model 3 ended in 1986. .45-70 Government
