The first guy who told me he "knew" the Ruger No. 1 was definitely discontinued was a semi-famous gunsmith, and he told me that in 1986.

It probably will happen someday, just like the Savage 99 eventually ending. Part of the problem is that eventually rifles like the 99 and No. 1 start competing with themselves: There are enough already on the market to fill the demand.
