What new Ruger would you like to see in a limited special run?

[F. Vaccaro]

A GP100 4", no under barrel lug, a ejector rod fastener & bbl shaped similar to the S&W mod 28, with nice wooden stocks similar to the Jordan Trooper style, and 6 shot.

 

[24on48hunting]

#1 in 35 Whelen
Walnut/blued
Since its 2026, a 250th year of American Liberty rifle would seem appropriate.

 

[Woodcarver]

Ruger #1 in 7x65R & 450NE (or better, 450 #2)
A Ruger bolt in 7x64 or 7x57, preferably with a quarter rib

Alright guys I got good news and bad news. Just got off the phone with Lipseys (great people)

Bad news:
They have their Ruger products selected through 2028
Ruger is no longer doing magnum length for the bolt guns and no longer have the tooling required for such (at least for the M77)
Ruger No.1s require a minimum order of 100, M77s minimum of 250, and even if we could get that number they are not set up to ship them out individually
404 Jeffery is essentially out unless there is a big boom in ammo production for it due to Rugers test process

Good news:
They already have Africa themed guns planned for the upcoming runs
One of those runs is in 300H&H for the No.1 if I remember correctly
Ruger just significantly upgraded their walnut quality with a batch of 2 piece blanks they got
Even though they can’t do the small order, the guy in charge of their custom runs said that he is down for discussing ideas for a future run

Sorry I don’t have better news. I also contacted Ruger directly but have received no response

Here's what they could do to sell me on a Ruger African in 416 Ruger. Add a quarter rib and a drop box magazine so that it holds 4 or 5 +1, and add a thicker red recoil pad.

 

[358 Norma]

I'd like to see them make the No1 in 450/400 again! Also a African with quarter rib and drop box would require me to spend some money!

 

[DaleGribble82]

I wish they’d make an African model chambered in 30-06.

 

[jlb1036]

I would definitely be interested on any of this calibers RUGER TROPICAL #1

450/400 NE
450 NE
470 NE
500 NE

Has anyone tried putting a No. 1 quarter rib on the M77? Obviously the barrel would have to drilled and tapped.

Can’t help with the rest but the Alaskan arms extra round floor plate is fantastic addition…..

I’d love to get my hands on one of the Hawkeye Africans in .223….hard to find one, wish they’d do another run.

Thanks for checking for us!

I just put a No1 22 Hornet on layaway. Can't wait to shoot you guys some pics.

Interested to know. Ruger No 1 would look even better with a solid rib too.

 

[Daryl S]

I would like to see Ruger come out with the 1895 Marlin in .50 Alaskan.
.450 Alaskan would also be a good one, but I already have good moulds for the .50 Alaskan.
If it was on the M86 Winchester action, all the better.

#1's, #3, Ruger M77/22Hornet's, CZ 527's and Thompson Centers Encores in .22 hornet benefit from R-P brass and Lil'Gun powder. PM me for loads & over 14,000 rounds without ever losing one to an expanded primer pocket nor a blown primer & I used small pistol primers mostly. Accuracy and Velocity - exciting. Gophers to 454yards- with a STANDARD .22 Hornet.

 

[Hedge774]

Probably the only one, but I'd like to see an Afrcan model in 338 Federal. That would be a slick PG rifle for the 200 yard category. (Limpopo, is what I'm seeing in my head)

 

[ThreeJacks]

I wish they’d make an African model chambered in 30-06.

With a 24” barrel.

 

[DaleGribble82]

With a 24” barrel.

Bingo.

 

[CBeck]

I’d buy one! I love my 280 Ackley improved. That’s probably been one of my favorites, but 30-06 would be fantastic edition.

 

[Rez Exelon]

A Number 1 in 300H&H would be pretty cool for sure. I'd love to see one in 458 Lott though. I may be biased since I have a bunch of Lott ammo without a gun for it though.
