Obsessed With Ruger Rifles Especially #1s

huntermn15 · May 18, 2020

I have two # 1's in 450/400 NE and 416 Rigby. Both are blued and in walnut. Love the 450/400 and will shoot the 416 Rigby for the first time in the next week.

Very nice lineup indeed! Like the look of the laminate stocks.

I might as well jump in with the show and tell. I like No.1's a lot just been shooting other stuff lately. It's been a while, think I will put some powder and copper through them now that they're out of the safe.

@CAustin...didn't you sell a #1 recently?

Chukar · May 18, 2020

Does anyone know if there is a regular release date for the new #1 rifles?

I'm not sure Ruger & Lipsey's still do a special run each year. There is a guy in Texas that is a No.1 specialist and runs a website called Classic Sporting Arms and he doesn't show anything past 2017.

Ruger's website shows TALO and Lipsey's current limited run: https://www.ruger.com/products/no1/models.html

I only have two of these fine rifles. I find them enjoyable. I have a 1979 .375 H&H and she is my best friend. I have a 2016 .458 Lott and she is all business. We have learned to be civil with one another. I put a Leupold scope on the lady and fixed express sights on the Businesswoman. I have since bothered to put Pacmayr XLT pads on each. I think a .30-06 may finish my collection.

Charlie,
You missed out on a 25-06 stainless laminate just like yours in the auction I posted last week that had my friends guns in it

Darn I did not see that

Yep About a year ago I sold a 458 Lott because I now have a 470 NE Double. The 458 was the backup rifle I took on my elephant hunt

Yeah, a friend we have in common.
He's very happy with it.

Apologies for the hijack - How are you liking the 470NE?
Do you miss the #1 in 458LOTT?

I love the Merkel 470 and kinda miss the 458 although it was walnut wood and blue metal. Another friend herE on AH bought a stainless #1 in 458 Lott. Kinda figured I would buy it from him after he played with it a bit, as he frequently sells rifles, but darn if he didn’t sell it to somebody else.

Thanks for sharing with us! I have seen the majority of that collection in person, as well as the bourbon collection

dchamp,

That's a cool collection. You got a little bit of everything. Blue steel, walnut, stainless, laminate and RSI. Well done!

Come on back Charles and we will burn a steak and drink some of the bourbon!

VERY NICE collection of Rugers! Never owned or even shot one, but I can FEEL the allure to them. Maybe one day?

All nice rifles ,
My Ruger collection is limited to a 10/22,

I am also a fan of the Ruger No. 1. I currently have three, 243, 25-06 & 270, all blue, red pads. I'll post pictures later.

Forrest,
I have #1S in 30-06 that I'd part with. It's had less than 40 rounds through it and in like new condition. I still have the box. 1150.00 shipped if you're interested.
