WTT OR Schmidt-Rubin M1911, .308 Win, Sporterized

[ConcernedCitizen]

Here's something you don't see every day: A sporterized Schmidt-Rubin M1911, rechambered for .308 Win.

Who doesn't love a straight-pull bolt action rifle chambered in a common caliber? Not only that, but the trigger is absolutely amazing (from my lowly novice perspective), and must be felt to be truly appreciated. It's beyond description from an unworthy novice such as myself.

As much as I love this rifle, I have yet to shoot it, so it's time to move on.

Cash price: $400 $350 OBO SOLD

Please note that this is not a "For Sale" ad, but rather a "For Trade" ad, as I honestly don't know the value of this rifle. It is an interesting and unique rifle, so please feel free to offer up something interesting or unique in trade.


Preferred FFL is Tigard Pawn, but willing to travel within reason.

Thanks!

More info:

These rifles were commercially sporterized back in the late '50s/early '60s and sold as "Santa Fe Sporters", as shown in this flier:


Here's an ad for a similar rifle that was sold, along with the owner's review:
ARMSLIST - For Sale: Inexpensive 308 Rifle That shoots GREAT!!!

I hope this helps shed some light on this unique configuration of rifle.

I have a 7.5 non sporter in the safe next to a marlin 55 12 gauge 36" barrel. I would trade you the shotgun for the rifle so They could be together.

I'll have to pass. I'm not much of a shotgun guy, but I do appreciate the offer!
