It says Safari Club International, the barrel has Education one one side and Coservation on the other and Mag-na-port on the bolt. Link Removed

Looks like an older model Ruger 22, Mark I I believe. Someone wasted a lot of money pimping out this thing!

Called Ruger, all they could tell me is that it was just a regular MK 2 in 1985 when it was shipped. Called Safari Club International they were no help, the girl said their records only went back to 1992. Then a call to Mag-na-port gave me all the info I needed. The gun was bought by them, hand engraved and ported, placed in a custom box and then shipped to Safari Club for their international convention. The man from Mag-na-port asked a few more questions about the markings on the gun and determined that it was one of 15 that they had done for the convention.

Thier is a fair chance that this gun was a fund raiser auction gun at SCI or a prize at one of the SCI events.

Interesting gun.
