Couldn't be more classic.

No one has them. We are still waiting. If I didn't already have two #1's in 6.5x55 I would be all over this like green on a grasshopper.

For some reason, I could never warm up to those. I like the little Blasers a bit more, possibly because they appear to be a bit trimmer overall. I really like the stainless Hawkeye RSIs, but opportunity and finances never seem to get in sync for me on those.

Off topic slightly: Did Ruger ever make a K1A in 6.5X55?

I own one in .257 Roberts that was spooky-accurate right out of the box. Photos below.

I have two of the Lipseys 6.5x55 stainless/walnut number ones, so, yes they made them. My paperwork says 263 produced.

Thank you. Man, that would be an really classic rifle, for sure.

I haven't looked but I believe $1500 is retail? Can surely be had cheaper I bet.

They made a 1A version in blue/walnut, the K1A's that I have been fortunate enough to acquire are tough to find anymore. If you can find one I'd grab it.

K1-A 7.62x39mm 262 2003, 2005
K1-A 257 Roberts 282 2005
K1-A 35 Whelen 245 2006
K1-A 6.5X55mm 263 2007
K1-A 250 Savage 250 2011


This is the calibers, numbers produced, and years manufactured.

The only one I have kept is my 6.5X55MM.

I think it is the perfect combination also.

Anybody seen a 2015 6.5x55 RSI yet, or is that still one for Mythbusters?

No, but it should be soon. Lipseys just sent me two #1A's in 7mm-08. These are the first of the 2015 #1's, hopefully the other chamberings will be soon to follow.
