FS: Ruger No. 1 450/400

[JeffD]

I’m continuing to sell some of the guns that I don’t anticipate using in the future. The rifle is about 10 years old and I’m the original owner. The only modification is the addition of a 1 inch Decelerator recoil pad. The stock was cut to maintain the original overall length, which is 13 5/8. I have reloading components that I will offer at a good price to the buyer. It is in excellent condition and has been fired at the range on a number of occasions. I have never hunted with it. I have always maintained the gun properly and it is totally free of any corrosion or metal wear. The wood is also an excellent condition.

$1,795 shipped in the Continental US.

Which barrel profile is it, or alternatively, what does it weigh?

 

[JeffD]

It’s the lighter of the two profiles. I think that’s designated as a C profile. I don’t have a scale that can provide an accurate weight, but I’d guess it’s a little over 8 pounds. Definitely lighter than the 458 I have listed here currently.

I e been on the hunt for the heavier model, but they’re tough to come by!

 

[JeffD]

Yes, they are. My own impression is that the C profile barrel is the one to get. This cartridge doesn’t kick that much unless you loaded up to 2300-2400 ft./s with a 400. But closer to original ballistics with modern bullets, 2150 or so feet per second, works great from everything I’ve read or been told, including from PHs. Haven’t done it myself. But with those ballistics, it’s fairly pleasant to shoot.

Decent price for someone wanting a 450-400 Ruger No.1
From the picts it does look to be a C weigh5 barrel.
Mine is pleasant to shoot even with factory recoil pad.
