Fellow Gun Enthusiasts: Thank you all for your input and opinions.
My first Ruger #1 had serial number 1,300 on it and I have been an afficiando ever since that early purchase.
I certainly hope the #1 stays in Rugers line-up but hearing about its demise from two different proprietors in two different states in a month got me worried.
It would be a sad day if it should ever come to pass that the Ruger #1 stops being manufactured.
Maybe I had better go back and make a move on that Ruger #1-V in 220 Swift - it had "fair" wood, maybe pleasing would be a better description. Certainly not of the quality that the early #1's had. In fact the owner of the gunshop where this Rifle is was told by the wholesaler that indeed it had been made up from left over parts!?!?
Thanks again all.
Hold into the wind
