Ruger 35 whelen
I just bought a NIB Ruger All-Weather with the old style injection molded Zytel stock they used to sell back in the 90's. Its brand new factory box sealed, never even handled. I think its some sort of anniversary edition. Can anyone tell me more about this rifle??? From what I can find this rifle was never made in 35 Whelen. I was told it was a special run for one of the big distributors and was limited to 500 produced. Any info would be much appreciated. Im thinking it may be worth alot more than I paid, maybe I shouldnt even shoot it. I stole it I got it so cheap. I bought it off a customer of mine who sold it for half of what he said he paid for it in the late 90's.

Maybe your question should include; "how collectable are Ruger rifles now and how likely are they to be in the future"? 0 -
What I was really asking is if anyone knows id this rifle in 35 whelen was a limited run? It says 50th anniversary on box. As far as a collectible its probably worth maybe $100 more than the same rifle chambered in lets say 30-06 0 -
Davidson's had a run of at least 358 Sn range 788-31631 to 788-75221 Info per Reference of Ruger fireArms by Chad Hiddleson. BTW I wouldn't be proud about stealing it from a customer if I were you!! 0 -
I didn't really steal it. I bought it from a customer. Im a home improvement contractor. I bought 5 guns off him total. But thanks for the info. 0 -
