Same as this Ranger designed rifle .
Colt may be making it but if is not a Colt design ,
As far license goes , it could be because of patent law , but I don't think that the people who know this for certain really care what a bunch of
Internet forum members think .

Maybe so but bergerboy has it backwards, its not the design of the gun in thiz case, its who makes it. If the gun had been a ruger it would still be prdtty good, colt canada would still be making it, and it would still cost 6000 dollars. Ruger declined to be in competition for it if they didnt make it themselves. So in that case as in this one it was absolutely important who made the gun. My point about the lipsey and legacy was that they could get a manf to make a version of the gun they wanted vanguard is another example. Sako is making that version anyway in the arctic and at a terrific markup still less than half the price
