Ruger No. 1-H .450/.400 Nitro Express 3” (Model 11385). This is the rare version with the heavyweight 24 inch “D” contour barrel. It weighs 9.32 pounds without scope or rings. It was shot prior to my purchase but I never fired it. It has one nick in the checkering on the right side of the fore end, but it is otherwise in like new condition. There are no box, papers, or rings.

Price is $1,100 plus shipping.

These are nice rifles,and you have a VERY good price on yours. a couple years ago I purchased the same model and restocked in in high grade english walnut. Some one will get a great rifle that can hunt anything that walks the planet.
 
How’s the kick on this? I’ve heard the No 1’s are a little light for the bigger calibers
 
Very nice rifle, there are several you tube videos of this same type and calibre being shot, see the Hornady clip showing Craig Boddington shooting it.

Exactly my thinking. What a cool and elegant buff rifle this would be.

Great deal and I wish I had the money.

Nice rifle. I have the 11324 model 450/400 with the standard weight barrel. My "shoulder-o-meter" says it kicks less than my VC 450/400 double.
 
If I hadn't just bought my 375 H&H No.1, this listing would already be marked sold. Excellent price on an excellent gun! I'm very surprised that it's still for sale. I'm very tempted, so please someone buy it, I've already spent too much $$$ in the last month.

Best regards,
 
Very good price for one of these rifles. I'm tempted even though I already have one.

You and me both. If I didn't have a Bison hunt in 3 weeks my kid would own this already. Good luck with the sale. I have one and love it.
 
Ahhh, another missed deem rifle!
 
Just wanted to verify that payment has been received and the rifle is sold, but the Boddington version is still for sale. Look here if interested.
