The Ruger #1s in 250-3000 are a Lipsey's special non-cataloged limited run of 250(?), so not many people are going to have the opportunity to buy 1. Since Lipsey's won't do business with small, non-stocking, dealers, I won't do business with Lipsey's, regardless of what special runs they get Ruger to build for them.
The only Ruger #1 that I've owned with a 22" tube was a 7x57 and I recall that it didn't balance particularly will with that short, light, barrel. I must admit that I have been thinking about building a new 256 Newton on a stainless/laminated Ruger #1, but not with a 22" barrel.
I currently have around 80 rifles chambered in 250-3000, mostly pre-WW1 1899s and pre-WW2 99s, 1920s, and 20/26s, but only shoot 3 of them; a Remington 7 with a 24" 700 Classic barrel, a Ruger 77 RSI, and a Winchester/USRA 70 Lightweight Carbine with a 70 Fwt stock. For some reason, Winchester/USRA made this 1986/87 run of rifles with 1-14" ROT barrels, even though no U.S. ammunition manufacturer had cataloged an 87 grain 250-3000 factory load for at least a decade.
