Actually it was out of the norm for most bolt action American hunting rifles and that is why it was discarded very soon. Can anyone tell me where to buy it in bulk for my <a href="http://www.bostonfirearms.com" rel="nofollow">MA Firearms School</a>?

OTOH the Harris adds circa $100 to the price of the Ruger.
