Hi-line Montana
Located in Montana. Only posted here. Willing to email, phone call etc any way to make someone comfortable with purchasing, I have done multiple deals with members on here.

Guns will ship USPS priority with insurance. Prices are shipped in lower 48.

Have two Ruger Number ones.

The first is a friend of mine who hasn’t had any luck selling it at MT gunshows so I offered to put it on here for him. It is in my possession and he said I can take care of it for him but any trade offers etc I would have to run by him. It is a 1976 .458 with custom wood. It’s absolutely beautiful. It comes with rings but no box etc. the guy he got it from claimed he had spent $1,100 on the stock. He is wanting $1850 shipped.

The second is mine. A Cabelas 50th anniversary edition .300 H&H. 26” barrel it is unfired. No box or accessories. I got it and wrestled with firing it for some time, but I know it won’t shoot as well as my pre-64 .300 H&H so figured I’d recoup my money and look for some toys. I would like $2,000 shipped.

We are both open to some trade offers, or OBO cash offers. Worst we can say is no.

I personally am looking for (In Order)
Leupold VXR 2-7
Leupold VX III Matte finish non CDS 2.5-8
Leupold VXR 3-9

All payments options are open. It’s whatever you are comfortable with just talk and let me know. Thank yall for your time

To clarify: The .458 is a Winchester Magnum. I apologize for not mentioning it earlier. The barrel marking was clear and it was made in 1976. The .458 lott wasn't made in the Number 1 until 2002 so I hadn't thought to clarify. Again, I apologize for the mis-communications.
 
Good looking #1s. I hunted last year with a guy who has over 400 in his collection. That 300 H&H is classy and would cover a lot of hunting options. Someone here needs it.
 
The 300 H&H
What were the groups like?
Where reloading for it or shooting factory ammo.
 
I have not shot the .300 H&H, it is unfired. That’s why I was wrestling with shooting it since even without a box it is somewhat collectible.

And realistically I don’t think it would unseat my Winchester pre-64 .300 H&H from my cabinet as it does 3 shot groups I can cover with a quarter.

thanks for your reply bob , is it feasible to build a 444 on a P14/M17 , or is the no4 enfield easier to build? i know where i can buy a lothar walther barrel in 44, 1-38 twist , but i think with a barrel crown of .650" the profile is too light .
