Up for sale is a great Ruger Number 1 in 450/400 Nitro Express, .400 Jeffery. 24 inch "C" weight barrel, ( .750 at the muzzle). Weight is 8.4 pounds.

A really nice Ruger Number One, even though in the 134 serial number range; Better bluing and finish than current 134 series.
My retained Ruger #1's are favorite in the 133 serial number range.
I think, but I do not know that this is a Lipsey's Special.

Weight is 8.4 pounds, bare, with 1 inch Pachmayer D752B Decelerator, Red 1 inch recoil pad. LOP is 14.25 inches.
Two, .410, 400 grain solids epoxied into the buttstock, for perfect balance. The rifle balances at the hinge screw.

Nice bluing, with some safe marks, and wood, with minimal dents. This rifle ain't perfect but is nice and ready to hunt.
I can send more pictures after March 31st, after I return from travel.

I am selling because, at my age, this is now too much recoil. Time to pass it on to younger hunters/ shooters.

This rifle is accurate. Tested at 75 yards, within 1 MOA. I have removed the folding rear sight from the quarter rib, for scope mounting, this sight will be included with the rifle.
I'm stepping down to a Ruger Number 1, 35 Whelen, for shooting function.

Let me know if you would like more pictures.

You will not be disappointed. After a 5-day inspection, non-firing handling time, I will refund your money, if you are not pleased.

What's the price on the 450/400?
 
Thank you I didn't see it
 
Sweetening the pot. NEW PRICE. Ruger #1 450-400Nitro 3" Rifle PLUS,
1 box of Hornady .410, 400 DGX (the newer bonded one). Tested in dry and wet newspaper bundles, these hold together.

$ 1675 SHIPPED to the lower 48 states, packed well in a dedicated gun package box, insured.

You will not be disappointed, but I offer a 5 day, non-firing inspection to the buyer.

We travel too much and sometimes need a little more time.

Beautiful rifle. I can’t believe this hasn’t sold. I have one as well or I would be interested. Mine is not as nice as this one.

Thank you, sir, it really is a beautiful rifle, made to the higher standard of years ago. If it was a .375 H&H (which I have owned) I would definitely keep it!

Well, sir, I am mighty impressed with the quality of the shell cordovan belt. I have several pairs of shoes that are shell cordovan, but had balked at paying over half that price for just a belt. Wouldn't be surprised if this belt doesn't last the rest of my life--for its color application. It sure is a universe removed from the cheaply constructed yet expensive stuff being put out there. Worth the price I paid.
getting ready for a 5 day sable hunt!
