I have a 1974 Ruger No.1 in 7x57 in original configuration except for a Hicks accurizer, that essentially cannot be seen. 24" barrel. It is in excellent condition. It will come with a EABCO slip on rail mount, so the original 1/4 rib is retained and unaltered but allows for the use of Q/D rings. It will also come with a Nikon pre-monarch, made in Japan (good one) 3-9x40 GLOSS scope. Scope has several marks but functions normally and the glass is clear. The scope is mounted using Warne Q/D rings and the EABCO rail. This is an excellent system for travel, where you would want to take the scope off. Rail and Rings are brand new. It will also include 2 boxes of factory ammo, a brand new set of dies, 250ct Speer Deepcurl 160gr bullets, 100ct Midway seconds copper mono (Likely Hornady CX) bullets, and a very nice leather buttcover/ammo holder. Total of $700-800 in extras included. Asking $2200 or best offer plus discounted shipping through PirateShip, going FFL to FFL. Too many shipping issues and damages out there currently to do it any other way. Willing to consider a partial trade for sub $1k .410 SxS shotgun in good condition as well

How does she shoot ...
What does it weigh ...
I took this in trade and haven't actually shot it, but the previous owner @LeftySixgun said it is a great shooter with the heavies as it is long throated. I intended to keep it but managed to acquire @RLL 's .416 B&M and have since found a deal on optics for all my new toys along with some hard to find components like Peregrine bullets for the Chapuis that I now need to pay for! I'd have loved to test it out for myself, but I had to prioritize. On my scale it weights 8 3/4lb in the current configuration with scope, etc.
 
Not sure if it's true but I was sent this comment by someone- "I’m pretty sure that a #1b in 7x57 was a non cataloged item, pretty rare." Again, I have no idea if it's true, but figured I'd put it out there. Makes me want to keep it now, lol- but I have to pay for the other stuff!!

Check with Lee Newton, Classic Sporting Arms in TX, he is the No. 1 expert.
 
I’d hang on to it if I were you.

Thanks, will do!

I’d like to but I bought a lot of stuff when I probably shouldn’t have and with a so. About to start college in a couple weeks, I don’t have much choice
 
Waiting to hear back from Lee, but it does appear the info is correct and this was a special made 7x57 No. 1B. Also Ruger lists the barrel length as 26”, which is the full length of the barrel- I had measured to the end of the chamber.
 
More additional info;
“A non-cataloged 1974 Ruger No. 1B chambered in 7x57 (7mm Mauser) is a highly sought-after collector's piece. Because Ruger only produced an estimated 100 units in this specific uncataloged run, it commands a premium over standard production models.”

I'll take the Vortex scope cover you have listed in the Pay it Forward thread.
