Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Single Shots Heard some possible news about the 2016 No. 1 Rifles!

This info comes from a "normally" reliable source who lives in the same state as one of the Ruger facilities.... I cannot confirm this independently. Apparently the photo and text below are to be released on the first day of Q2.



New for 2016, Ruger and Lipseye’s are proud to announce
the No 1Tactical™ Rifle!

Combining all of the tactical features of the best selling black rifles in America with the timeless, classic, Farquaharson-inspired graceful lines of the Ruger No 1, the new No 1Tactical™ is sure to become the most popular rifle Ruger has ever brought to the market.

There's no way to mount a NF 5-40x65m, a laser and a Flir simultaneously. Useless...

Well at the very least we won't have to piss and moan about the quality of the wood..........

I wonder why they didn't wait til today to leak this info ?
