I had one in .280 Rem. back in 1997. Bought it for $340 used at a gunshop. Shooting only factory 150gr. Partitions, it would group under 2" at 200yds. everyday. It never had any work done to it.
They are such nice rifles and well made. But it didn't suit my type of hunting. It was too heavy and that lever liked to stab my leg when sitting in a tree stand. I couldn't find a reason to keep it. Makes sense. I'm a bolt gun guy myself. Have always loved the looks of the Ruger #1 though. They have a good following and really retain their value.
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

![[Linked Image]]( https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/full/250587.jpeg) 300 weatherby. Paid $750 for it, I’m guessing that’s a decent deal? Very nice. Good score. Do you load for that cartridge? That is a hammer right there. I have a stainless classic in a 300 Weatherby so yes I load for it.
Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

I just traded for my third Ruger #1 in 25-06. I'll report back after I shoot it as to how it groups.
I've owned at least one Ruger 25-06 (most model 77's) everyday since my first one 52 years ago. Yep, you can say I'm a fan of that manufacturer and that cartridge.
