Ruger No.1

[nztimb]

I went back and found the reference that I was thinking of and it said that most were sent to Canada and Australia, not to Europe. Make sense as the 303 seems quite popular in both.

Yep, just like the '06 in your back yard although the young bucks coming on have left these old warriors behind for the new kids on the block. They deserve better after the service they have given to us and our fathers before us.

I found a lovely little 243 with stunning walnut. Being a lefty I have no rifles on which to teach my lady to shoot and also for my brother to use when we hunt together.

Will get them each their own scope in QD rings.

Here is my No.1 in 303 British. Took me a bit to find it!

Is that a 22" or 24" barrel?

 

[Bullthrower338]

Is that a 22" or 24" barrel?

I want to say 22” but I will measure it when I get home

If it isn't 22" I will eat my John Deere tractor without any dipping sauce.


psssst....Toby....there is a 416 Taylor for sale in the classifieds....

At least one of the .303s even made it to Germany.....

I’ll pay to see that!

I wish they made these calibers in with 24” or 25” barrels. I have a No1 in 9.3x62 with a 22” bbl. IMO it would be a much more balanced rifle with a 25” bbl.

My thoughts exactly! I looked at a 338 Win Mag with a 26" barrel and iron sights once. It maintained the thin profile barrel of the 1A, but with the extra 4" it balanced much better.

I think that is a matter of talking to Lipsey's...get a group of folks together and get them to order them. They seem to control the #1 production now.

None other rounds in 6.5/8mm class have got this fashion!

 

[Nomosendero]

.264WM with 28" barrel and 1-7.5 twist

 

[Rolla Hunter]

If there was a reliable source of brass, an 8x68S.

 

[Bob Nelson 35Whelen]

Lenny I would love to see them do one again in 243 or 25-06 with the laminated stock and satin stainless.
Love those rifles and always will.

@CAustin
25-05 with a 26" barrel yes.
243 NEVER. Waste of a good rifle
Bob

 

[NoStepOnSnek]

400 H&H
6mm ARC
.410 shotgun (because why not?)

 

[Bob Nelson 35Whelen]

Wow, Charlie overnight you go from 243 to a 458 Lott. You must have had a good nights sleep.

@jduckhunter
I think Charlie went from useless to what the hell go big or go home. Next he will be saying 460 Weatherby.
Bob

 

[Bob Nelson 35Whelen]

I have the 450/400. which is about all I can handle but the Lott you have is very shootable. Someone should jump on it.

@lwaters
That's what I thought when I fired another members No1 458 Lott.
Firm recoil but not objectionable.
Bob

 

[Bob Nelson 35Whelen]

I would probably never chamber for one of these but would buy them if Ruger did. I already have a 358 in a Browning lever. I have shot a black bear and a couple deer with it.

@lwaters
Stoke that little 358 with some 225gn Woodleigh RNSP, take it to Africa and shoot everything upto and including eland. It will do the job nicely.
