For Sale 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.

Numerous additional photos sent by request. Please PM if interested. Jeff

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.

 

[WAB]

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.

Sold pending payment.

I have not heard back from the prospective buyer, so this Rifle is available.

Here’s my bottom line on this. I need $1500 net to me. I recently shipped the 6.5 Creedmoor Ruger #1 listed here to a fellow in New York State and shipping cost $185. I was shocked, but that’s the way it is from the West Coast at this point. So, if you live closer, shipping would be less. As stated in the original post, I have a considerable amount of loading components to sell with it, which I will offer at a very good price. Those include DGX and DGS bullets, four boxes of new Hornady brass, dies and a few other items. I don’t want to sell those separately at this point unless the buyer doesn’t want them. More pictures are also available. PM for those or questions please.

Next time try ship my gun. com. Just make sure your shipment fits their size limitations. Make sure your package isn't longer than 48 inches. USPS, Fedex, UPS all hit you with extra fees if the package is over this length.

Package length is probably what inflated the cost, I think 48" is the "breakpoint." I recently shipped a 25" barreled rifle in the original box and placed it in another box which exceeded 48" and paid for it.

What is like to shoot? Recoil? Accuracy?

 

[JeffD]

Haven’t heard of ship my gun. Don’t know if they operate in CA. You’re too much have to ship through an FFL because no carrier will take the firearm from an individual, even though it’s legal. I have a nearby dealer that doesn’t charge me to ship. But of course, I have to cover all the costs.

If it helps, I have the same rifle with an 8 oz mercury recoil reducer slip fit into the factory bolt hole in the stock under the recoil pad. It wears a Leupold vx6-hd scope pushing hand loaded ammo about 2100 fps, very accurate (shoots into 1 MOA). It is one sweet shooting rifle in a caliber that can do it all. These rifles are going for over $2k these days - this is a great deal.

 

[Kevin Peacocke]

If I hadn' been blessed enough to obtain a double rifle in this calibre I would have gone for a Ruger No1 in 450/400.

Let’s work something out on this! I love a good #1 and in a classic cartridge to boot. I’ll send you a PM shortly.
