I like all of the No. 1�s especially the 1A�s because of the Alexander Henry forend.
My stalking rifle is a No.1A, .257 Roberts and it weighs in at 8.5 pounds with scope and sling.
My beanfield rifle is a No.1B, .270 Weatherby and it weighs in at 10.25 pounds with scope and sling.
The recoil is almost nil.
