Ruger definitely produced a K1B, I guess that is the designation, in .243 as I have one in the safe.
There is no accounting for taste.
Experience is a great thing as long as one survives it.
Generally, there ain't a lot that separates the two however,
Barely making it is a whole lot more satisfying than barely not making it.

My Kimber Classic .308 shoots great with its Broughton replacement tube, not so good with the OEM barrel.
I once had a 4 digit Ruger #1 in .243. It was the std. sporter. I traded it, would have been a good one to have kept.

It was pretty popular. I have a #1B from 1976, and I think the 1A was also in there. Maybe one of the stainless models, too. I have a bicentennial 'B' specimen as well. I need to play with it more this summer. After "playing with it more this summer", I have come to realize that this 243 really seems to like IMR 4350 and ordinary 80 grain (Remington PSP) bullets. Sub MOA groups with a 4X scope ..... now I really need to play with it some more.

I had one, an RSI, for quite a few years. My grandkids and guest hunters used it more than I did, but I shot quite a few feral hogs and a couple of deer with it myself. Mine liked 95-grain Partitions, and 42.5 grains of RL-22 was the load that I ended up using the most. While cleaning out the reloading shelves last week, I discovered 87 rounds of loaded ammo that I overlooked when I traded it a few years ago.

Some days it takes most of the day for me to do practically nothing...

I had a B, now have an RSI.
Would like a A.
Few lbs of 4350 yet to burn.
My RSI likes boring old WW 100gr factory ammo, so that's what it'll run this November.
