Ruger Number One 450/400 Nitro Express, .400 Jeffery, C Weight Barrel, Nice

[cajunchefray]

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.

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.

Please elect someone who allows the US to export hunting arms to SA.

Yes Kevin, we should elect someone who allows sporting firearms to be exported to friendly countries. And elected politicians that understand the true state of affairs worldwide. We can only hope.

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!
