Craigster: I am no Ruger #1 expert - I just like them.
But if I recall correctly from years past the Ruger #1's in caliber 222 Remington were amongst the rarest of calibers in the model?
MANY years ago I had a chance to buy one of these but balked at the price (a pittance by todays standards!) back then.
Wish now (of course) that I had made a deal on it somehow.
Maybe even at $1,500.00 that would be a relatively sound investment for that 222?
Hold into the wind
