I took delivery of my newest firearm to add to my collection of misfits. It is a Ross .280 M10 Sporting rifle probably made around 1915. I thought that I would share some pics as most people have never even heard of the rifle let alone seen one. The rifle is very good shape. Some stock dings that I probably will steam out to make her look even better. The bore is beautiful. Not always the case when there was potential use of corrosive primers. The action is a straight pull with 6 locking lugs like a Howitzer. Very fast and solid. This particular model has open sights that are regulated from 0-500 meters. It also came equipped with a cool built-in pop-up aperture on the rear bridge of the receiver.
