How many do you own?
Oh crap, did I hurt your feelings again? I was trying to be careful, but I guess you are more sensitive than I figured. Sorry again!

To answer your question I have owned and or loaded for/hunted about 10 #1s and #3s. Most were 1A's, a couple 1S's ( i seem to recall the .45-70s were S's), an RSI, and a 9.3x74R that was in a tropical. The 1B's never appealed to me being a 8-8.5 lb single shot, but to each their own. Its amazing what you get to play with when you grow up and live down the street from the factory where these things are built!

Have a nice day!
That's fairly impressive, considering you were just 14 when you started posting here and were asking your dad for permission to buy a muzzleloader just a few years ago. In fact, I'm quite surprised you haven't been sharing all of your Ruger single shot knowledge with the single shot forum. However, I noticed your answer is somewhat vague, since the number cited was "about 10" and combined with other things you've posted, I think only one digit in that number is correct. You should post the actual number of Number 1s you own for the people you're trying to advise. It places a true value on that advice.


I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass. And I'm all out of bubblegum.
