That is beautiful. The fore end, is it just the photo or
is it actually slimmer at the front than current AH wood?

The early guns had much better shaped wood and were generally more elegant in appearance. The forearm probably looks smaller die to the larger medium weight barrel.

All 257 Roberts




7MM STW

7mm Rem Mag

Looking for a 223 Rem, 300 winmag, 308 win and maybe other No 1's with fantastic wood and finish.

Lots of pretty No. 1s posted. Mine is a plainer jane....the porn is what it's posted with.... Pics have been here before, but I couldn't resist posting them again. It'll be 5 yrs. this coming August.....

The wood is a bit plain, but it's a damned cool rifle in my book.

I just got a custom project finished on a #1 action. Chambered in 7MM-08 with a 24 inch tapered octagon barrel, case colored metal. It's a tack driver with NBT 140gr and IMR 4350. I'm not computer savvy enough to post pics though:(

Also picked one up in 450-400NE

1969 4-digit in 243Win... original Douglas barrel, Canjar set trigger. Years ago, I found a Meopta 7x50 scope on closeout at a ridiculous price, so I threw that on it for now. Previous owner had messed up the recoil pad, so I'm in process of getting that straightened out. Like a lot of the early ones, this one has nice wood.

I've handloaded for it. It has a very long leade and so bullet seating depth looks absurd but it is quite accurate with the right combos. Longest made shot with it in the field is a touch over 500yds.

more pics of my #1...

My 375 H&H should be stocked for strength, and it seems to be well chosen in that regard, but it has nice color and decent figure as well.

My Ruger No.1's and No.3's are all varmint rifles shot from a bench so they tend to have heavy barrels and large scopes. I always thought this one looked the part of a serious PD slayer with its 15X 2" Unertl and 24" straight taper barrel. It was already rebarreled to .225 WW when I bought it 20 some years ago and after many years in the PD towns I had it rebarreled to .204 Wasp.

My Redfield Rev 2-7X won't fit and offset rings I don't care for.
Proly try an old M8 4x next (haven't scored a deal on one).
Most boring wood I've ever seen on a #1.
Been watching the Youtube vids of Wild Boar Fever...........can't afford a Merkel Helix and Aimpoint micro

so took the RSI and funkied it up (remember, my 2-7X doesn't fit- if I crank it past 4x I gotta be a giraffe).

Before anybody tries to burn a cross in my yard.......

this thing works, and is a hoot.
Inside of 100 yards it might be a dandy little deer rig.

A bit heavy for my kid to run though. No chance of scope eye (just a little .243 anyway).

Guys at range banging away from bench with milsurp, I popped two clays on the bank (85 yards) offhand with ease.

Short, the balance, overall weight, and no sight magnification.........it is a fun little rig!

The 45-70 isn't 'centerfold' material, but it isn't a wallflower either.

Maybe I have finally figured out this picture thing.
