Single Shot Saturday - Show us your Single Shots!

1976 Liberty edition Ruger No. 1 in 270 Winchester. Inherited from my father, it is one of the best shooters in my collection.

PS - @ftrovato That is a gorgeous Dakota #10! You should be very proud, and I hope it brings you many years of enjoyment.

Thank you! Great looking Ruger you have there too!
 
As a right-hander who shoots left the majority of the time, I like ambidextrous rifles. So I'm a fan of single-shot falling-blocks & their simplicity. They work really well for a lot of the hunting that I do.

I often start hunting in the fall with my my Winchester 1885 Traditional Hunter in 405 Win or Browning 1885 in 44 Magnum because the regulations allow it during the primitive season.

My Ruger No. 1A in 303 British is a sentimental favorite & a great choice for where I hunt.

It's nice to be able to open a safe & grab a single-shot or a single-shot or another single-shot. Winchester, Browning, Uberti, Ruger? I've got options in seven different chamberings to choose from.

I really like the compact size of my Ruger No. 1 RSI chambered in 275 Rigby. Shooting Rigby ammo (aka 140gr Hornady InterLock SP) with a 2-7x33 scope, it works really well as a deer rifle.

I've taken the most deer with my Ruger No. 1A in 6.5x55 shooting 140gr Partitions. Either I've been very lucky or this rifle excels at dropping deer in their tracks because zero tracking is usually required.

Jeffery PD Farquharson in 303 (top) Gibbs Farquharson best quality action rebarreled to 6.5x57R (middle and below with a nice little blacktail buck, has a claw mounted Zeiss fixed 6x on it.) Bottom rifle of the trio is another Gibbs MBL Farquharson in .461 Gibbs featured in Wal Winfer's book which is kind of cool.

An excellent AH member right here! I had a fantastic transaction with Hornedfrogbbq (I was the seller). His communication was first rate, payment was extremely fast, and I would have absolutely no reservations at all dealing with him again. Thank you, F!
Here we are, the last day of the show in Denver, it's been a good show but expecting a quiet day today. I will be back for-sure to do this show next year and maybe also do the one in Sacramento California.

On Monday I will be hitting the road driving from Denver and eventually make it down to Atlanta for the flight home.

its going to be a good year!

Hi Rem280, Saw your post on getting selected for Idaho Elk. Do you have a zone(s) selected? I live in N Idaho, might be able to offer some ideas.

Cheers,

Craig
