Having a hard time letting this one go but it must be done. Only one of 400? produced. Fired very little and has been well taken care of. No box unfortunately, but very nice condition. I thought I would offer it up locally before sending to auction. Please no low balls or rude comments. Will include a SKB hard case with the sale. Feel free to ask any questions or if you need specific photos. This is the 12 Gauge, Undersingle, Stainless Ruger Controlled Pattern Trap Gun. High vented adjustanble rib, adjustable trigger pull, adjustable butt plate. Will include an SKB hard case with sale.
Please PM your offers.
Tidbits taken from the internet:
Specialized features demanded by target trapshooters and found in the RUGER®
TRAP MODEL Shotgun include:
A target trigger, adjustable for weight of pull (see p. 29).
An adjustable rib, which can be set for individual shooters' stature, sight
picture, stance, and other preferences (see p. 26).
A two-bead sighting system located atop the adjustable rib (see p. 27).
A wide, cut-checkered beavertail forend for consistent front hand
positioning.
A target-style pistol grip of special shape and contour.
An adjustable buttstock comb, to accomodate various facial configurations,
stances, and hold-over for rising trap targets. It also is laterally adjustable
for "cast off" and "cast on" (see p. 28).
An adjustable buttpad, which can be set by the shooter for length of pull
and "cant" (the angle of the buttstock from the center line of the stock to
the left or right, as desired) (see p. 27).
Since single barrel trap guns are never loaded or closed until immediately
prior to a shooter calling "pull" to fire at a clay target (and are opened
immediately after firing or if firing is delayed) trap guns generally have
no separate manual safety/barrel selector (see p. 15). There is no
possibility that the shooter will be unable to fire due to forgetting to
correctly move the safety to the "fire" position for each shot during an
extended target competition tournament.
Another special feature of the Ruger Trap Model shotgun is its straight
grooved "controlled pattern" bore. It prevents rotation of the wad and shot
column while they move down the bore when fired. This minimizes shot
dispension and contributes to improved pattern density on targets at all
ranges. The 34" long barrel is also "back-bored" with a long forcing cone,
which contributes to lessening felt recoil and fatigue. This is especially
important to trapshooters, who routinely fire at hundreds of clay targets
during a match. It accepts the latest screw-in Ruger choke tubes, and is
supplied with "full" and "modified" choke tubes for trapshooting (see pp. 13
- 14).
