I’ve got one of those in the 358 Barnes Johnson express Mauser rifle I stumbled over! Previous owner claimed it was Fred’s rifle. Can’t get any proof other than word of mouth. Hornady is cutting dies. Hope to harvest a whitetail or two this fall!

Almost all accuracy issues with #1s can be simply cured with adjustments to barrel forend pressure. The hicks accurizer is easy to install yourself and solves the problem.

A set.screw tapped into the hangar bar works also.

Yes it does in fact that's what I did with my 7x57.

I think Wayne Van Zwoll did an article in rifle or rifleshooter about 20 years ago on this

I think perhaps closer to 25 years ago in Rifle. It was after I read that article that I decided to try it on my rifle. It took about 2 or 3 turns on that set screw to take from 2 1/2 inch groups to very consistent 1 inch groups. I think the hicks accurizer is an easier fix though.

Were you successful in finding the safety?

Added a leather cartridge carrier to go with WR sling for upcoming hunting season.

Another beauty joined the family:

Ruger No 1S in .44 magnum. This should prove to be a handy little rifle for running around in the woods!

Looks like that might be a vintage scope?

Good eye! I love the old steel tube Weavers on the No.1's; I think they fit together very well.

Totally agree. Just picked up a Lyman All American 4x and debating which rifle it will go on. They are sleeker and do not overpower the rifle. You've got a good combination!

Decided to go with a RMR for my 458. Now to take her to the range

Very good looking, where did you find that mount?

American Hunting Rifles. From what I understand dude used to make custom guns but now just does parts

 

[Goopy]

I agree- that mount is cool. I've never seen that before

Just ordered a No. 1 in .257 Weatherby, a rifle that has been on my wish list for a while. Can't wait to receive it. They are apparently produced periodically for Lipsey's and have a 28 inch barrel that milks a bit more velocity out of the overbore case. Jeff Quinn was getting over 4,000 FPS with 80 grain TTSX out of this rifle when he tested one.

This one has nice walnut, couldn't resist !
