Wanted Ruger No. 1 Stainless In .458 Lott

[WesG]

Hello,
Completely new here. If you have one of these please let me know. Happy to pay a pretty penny.

I have positive feedback on Gun Broker and AR15. That’s the only feedback I have on the net.
- if this is in the wrong section I apologize -

I recall one selling on a big gun auction site in the last month at a bit over 2500. Of course, that is plus tax, fees, etc. nowadays. I remember being aghast at the price point as I had one twenty or so years ago. It was accurate for an out of the box big bore. One received a full measure of fun when pulling the trigger as I recall. I fired from a standing position primarily. That was the only rifle (scope) that ever cut me above the eye. I had scoped it with low power glass and used the rifle for stalking thickets and heavy woods for the local whitetail deer. I spotted one in an open area while I was still in a thick stand of saplings. The only shot available was a semi-side laying/prone position that allowed a clear shot about a foot above the forest litter. This position only allowed a small portion of the butt to engage the shoulder. Lets just say it was not one of those shots that you could see the effects of through the glass. Fortunately, no tracking was required.

Those are fun rifles; I am just amazed at the price point now. I think I gave 800ish new back then. Good times.

Good luck in your search.

I am looking for a CZ 550 magnum in 375 H&H or a Kimber 8400 Caprivi in 375. Thank you all

Just a heads up to everyone:
I will pay a very fair finders fee to anyone that leads me to or them to me. This rifle will be loved and meticulously cared for. I’m looking to build up my Ruger collection with this rifle and a Ruger Red Label all weather!

I had a red label all weather! Loved that thing until it started failing me!

Walnut or laminate?

I just spoke with a friend whom I thought had every Ruger No. 1 ever made. He said they made about a dozen walnut stainless steel .458 Lotts. He has looked for years for one. Good luck.

Welcome to AH. Like you I love the stainless with salt and pepper stock! i had a 458 Lott blue with walnut stock that I sold to a friend. They are great rifles IMO

Someone sold a stainless laminated stock in 458 Lott on here a couple of years ago to @TOBY458 but I think he resold it during one of his famous fire sales.

 

[WesG]

Walnut or laminate?

Whatever is available. I believe the walnut one is very rare. I’d be very happy with laminate.
