I think they're still trying to build the ones they announced last year The .223's eventually made it out in decent numbers. I've seen exactly three .257 Wbys

Haven't seen any 223 . One dealer has a 257 listed. Holding out for RSI in 6.5x55. Retail price in Canada now is $1869.00.

there's probably 10 of the K1V .223's on Gunbroker, now - they have hit there in the past 2-3 weeks.

The RSI's are available last I looked on Gunbroker, the Weatherby on the other hand seems to be made of unobtanium. I'd like a Weatherby, somehow.

That's my .223: it's frankly about the best one I've seen. One of the .257's seemed almost as good, but it sold almost instantly on GB. The new runs of Swifts and 7.62x39's are all quite plain.

My local dealer spoke with Jason at the Shot show. Once Ruger has completed the production of the 2015 series of #1's , Lipseys will decide on the 2106 lineup.

I sure hope they get some better wood, no offense to those that have bought the new ones but damn, for that kind of money it should look better.

I agree Jaytee. Just as Tex N Cal said, the wood they are using right now is VERY plain. I bought one of the recent runs (2014 I think) of the 1V .220 Swift and I have seen more figure on pallets.
I would really like to have one of the 9.3x62's, and my FFL's distributor has a pair on his shelf, but I don't want to tell him to order one in only to see no figure. Just can't bring myself to spend $1400 on a rifle that has the same quality of wood that you see on a $300 Savage.
That makes Gunbroker more and more appealing to me. Its hassle to play middle man and arrange for deliveries between FFLs if you win the auction...but being able to review the wood quality before you buy and BEAT MSRP is just to hard too pass up. I have seen rifles on Gunbroker recently from decades ago that look great, have beautiful grain and mineral streaking and go less than $1K.

This is my 7.62x39. It's the best of last year's production, that I have seen. I am tempted to try a refinish with tung oil to see if it brings out the mineral streaks.

That has to be the best 7.62x39 I have seen!

Be sure to send your wants to Jason at Lipsey's for the 2016 No1 Models. I suggested a 1S in 348 Winchester with 26 inch barrel for the 50th anniversary of the No1 rifles with Circassion Walnut and a "Pachmayr Old English Reddish Brown Pad".

Of course, I haven't been able to track down the 2015 model I want yet...

I suggested a 1S in 348 Winchester with 26 inch barrel for the 50th anniversary of the No1 rifles with Circassion Walnut and a "Pachmayr Old English Reddish Brown Pad". You got an email for him? The .348 would be pretty cool, but I bet Ruger would cringe at the cost of the hammer forging dies for the barrel, spread over 250 rifles. Also tough to find pointed bullets, that really let you take advantage of the single shot. A K1B in 26 Nosler would work for me - with nice wood. Or even a .28 Nosler The #1A's in .30-30 are hard to find - I bet a bunch of people would jump on those. A 1A .25-35 would be neat. Or even a 7-30 Waters. A K1V in .22-250AI with 1 in 8" barrel would be a logical step after the K1V .223. Or even a Swift in the same barrel & twist. A #1H in .416 Rigby with a C weight barrel would likewise be really cool, and handier than the ones they've made in the past. None of these should be hugely expensive to tool up.

Not too sure about another run of 30-30s, but I'd bet some 1As in either 218 Bee or 22 Hornet (or both) would be pretty good sellers. And I still don't understand why the 1V was never made in 308 Win. (yes, I know about the single non-prefix example). A 1V in 308 with 26" stainless barrel and nice walnut would even interest ME!

I've seen a couple of .222's that had good wood. Wish I had realized earlier they had 1 in 9" twist barrels, I might have grabbed one.
