Allure of the Ruger No1

Doesn’t appear to be a Ruger rear sight? You trade it out or custom 1/4 rib?

The Boddington models and the 275 Rigby (first round) had that rear sight.

It’s the boddington series No. 1 “Kudu” so the rear sight is different. I have previously owned the cabelas anniversary edition in 300 H&H and there are subtle differences in the sights and stock.

I took my new (to me) .30-06 Ruger No. 1 with a S weight 24” barrel for a walk this weekend scouting in preparation for the upcoming Virginia deer season. I also had my .30-06 RSI along for the trip.

On a side note, I have been planting oak, fruit, and chestnut trees on our property for the last 15-20 years. Last year I had one chestnut tree with about three pods. This year I had multiple trees with many pods, as well as acorns and pears for the first time. The chestnuts did not last long.

I plant chestnut and oak trees from Nativ Nursery and Dunstan chestnut trees from Whitetail Hill Chestnuts. Many of the local Walmart stores carry the Whitetail Hill Chestnuts trees and late in the Spring planting season you can often get them at greatly discounted prices.
