I have observed this discussion before and I do not believe you can get 100 people to agree on any one specific Ruger No.1- and put up the $$ to get it done!
I am curious about how many might be interested in a 26 Nosler in a BH-that is, a 26" medium weight barrel, Alex Henry forearm, barrel band and no sights.

You got me curious about the 26 Nosler - which I had heard of, but not studied:
The 26 Nosler� cartridge was designed to take advantage of the inherently accurate and high B.C. 6.5mm (.264) caliber bullets, and is capable of shooting the Nosler� 129 grain, AccuBond� Long Range� bullet at a blazing 3400 fps out of the muzzle. Zeroed at 350 yards, the 26 Nosler� has a Point Blank Range of 0-415 yards. Loaded with the 129gr ABLR, the 26 Nosler� retains as much velocity at 400 yards as the 260 Remington� produces at the muzzle.
The 26 Nosler� case is non-belted, thus headspaced off of the shoulder to further enhance accuracy. The �26� also utilizes a standard (30-06) length action meaning shorter bolt-throw and lighter weight than magnum length actions.
I was thinking more of the .257 or .270 Roy, but that one is an interesting point...and you might get Nosler's interest to promote it, which might get Ruger's interest...
