Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Single Shots Ruger No. 1's sure are pretty!

I got my #1V 6mm Rem out of the safe last night just 'cuz I hadn't had it out in a while. I just love the feel and the lines of the #1. Ruger really did it right when they designed the #1. I'm not nearly as fond of the looks of the #3 or other types of single shots, although I like the way my Encore shoulders with open sights.
Have you fondled your #1 today?

I fondled my 1a yesterday.

Had to dig one rifle out of the safe that was in the back. The others were simply pulled out and put back in, but the no.1 got a little extra attention.

My wife caught me fondel my #1's yesterday, I told her she had to wait until I was done with the 6 Encores.

She is so patient.

Doc

I am torn between the #1H in 405 Win and the 1871 Buffalo Classic in 45-70. No contest -- out comes the #1.

You guys are all going to go blind!

I just admire mine from a distance, unless killing game or periodic maintenance is the order of the day wth them.

Besides with 30 of them you could lose a lot time fondling them equally.

1B

surprised I am the first to post a photo...

tex n cal, that is just not right. 22-250? Lovely....

OMG... purdy... purdy... purdy!!! Almost as "purdy" as my RSI, Tex!

Hmmmmmmmm... THAT reminds me, I haven't "hugged" my RSI today... YET !!! 'Scuse me, I think my RSI is calling... kinda make ya wonder what the Ruger #1 "NON-owners" are doing for their "lovin' ", n'est pas?!?

They are good looking rifles, that also handle and shoot well. Here's my 7mm Rem mag:

yup, .22-250. Those are 3 consecutive 5 shot groups at 100 yds. Save the one called flier, it is an honest 1/2" rifle.

Here's my .300 Liberty Model

Here are three of mine:



Top to bottom, my pre-warning 1A in .270 WCF, 1V in .22-250, and 1A in 7x57mm. My 1B in .257 Roberts is currently away getting a new trigger and should be back in a month or so.

In the mean time, I scored this RSI in 7x57mm from a dealer in Kansas. (It should be here next week.):

tex n cal - nice wood on that .300 and it looks like you can really seat those bullets out long... Nice...

Wow, tex n cal, awesome wood on the buttstocks!
Nice pickup there, Bricktop! Gotta love those RSI's.

My #1V 6mm has some really nice wood, I'll try to get a picture up when I get the chance.

Here she is!
I killed my first deer with a #1V in 6mm Rem and stupidly sold it. 20 years later I found this one. You can bet that I won't be selling it!

They really are a classy rifle with a lot of character right off the bat.

Here's some more gratuitous No. 1 porn:




These are some pictures sent to me by Fred Melzer of Calgary, Alberta. http://www.angelfire.com/ma/ZERMEL/

I'm still getting all of the details, but it was rebarreled to 6.5x284 with an octagon barrel. Fred says it started life as a 1B and the forearm was reworked to an Alexander Henry configuration.

My 65 by 55.

Envy or jealousy can't decide which..... very nice Bricktop and 65BR

yup...it has a long throat. I think those were 180 Partitions loaded in those three cartridges, and my notes say it runs well with an OAL of 3.61" and a stiff charge of reloader 22. I have seen 180 grain velocities over 3200 fps out of her, those definitely were max loads.

I like the stainless steel with the real wood... Looks great!
