Ruger ~ No.3 ~ .45-70 GOVT

The Ruger No. 3 is a single-shot rifle produced by Sturm, Ruger & Co from 1973 to 1986. It is based on the Ruger No. 1, with some modifications made to reduce costs, such as a simpler one-piece breech lever. It also was shipped with an uncheckered stock and a plastic buttplate. It has been described as "superbly accurate". This example is in great shape with the only flaw being the front sight is broken.
