Allure of the Ruger No1

The #1 barrel stamped with .275 Rigby is truly a rifle to grab up when you see one!
I am always on the hunt for that one!

I certainly like mine, perhaps the finest No 1
ever produced. I have a strong preference for the 24” barrel on a No 1. The 22” just looks too short to me.
 
i had about a dozen ruger #1,s over the years in all calibers, now i have only three. a 35 whelen, a .223 and just got a 300 H&H new in the box at public auction.
You will never regret buying the 300H&H, mine is the "jewel in the crown" of my No1 collection.
 
I have the RSI 6.5x55 and it is a pleasant rifle to shoot, over 7 lbs. with no scope. Also have a No. 1 in .45-70.

I picked up a "like new" CB 300 H&H No 1 and it looks pristine, but I cannot get it to group for crap. The fixed sights are off by over a foot at 50 yards. Haven't had time to do a deep dive into it to try and sort it out which is unfortunate because I love that caliber and I want to love that rifle. If I can't figure it out then I will have to get a gunsmith involved to make sure nothing is structurally wrong with it.

The 24" and 26" are my favorite as well.

I fitted a Hicks accuriser to mine from the get go, it shoots 180gr Woodleigh SP and 175gr Atomic29 solid copper bullets into .9 inch groups, even when I mix the rounds in the same group.
Well worth the $'s.

Thank you, I will look into that!

I agree with the 24" barrel, the rifles are very balanced. I also have the 1A 24" 250 Savage, that is my Virginia deer rifle.
 
I have a 30-06 B model. It is one of my favorites. Very light and a beautiful rifle. Regarding accuracy, you will probably not reach that of a similar bolt gun. My shoots around an inch at 100 yds after a lot of load work and semi-floating the forearm with a rubber washer on the hanger.
 
Saw this was available over at R & M Firearms at El Campo Texas. Someone should act quickly if they want it;)

Lipsey's special in 9.3x62

Wouldn’t that be a handy little rifle in the bush!
 
I had a 475 Turnbull built on a #1 fine rifle shoot 400 gr tsx and solids very accurately nice to shoot.

We are very excited to come to Salzburg for the first time.
Should you at all have any interest in hunting with me and want to discuss different options please do not hesitate to contact me and we can set something up.

A two minute video I made of our recent Safari. I think it turned out well

Just received your book. It will be a Christmas present from my wife. Looking forward to read it.
