sidepass,

I've bought a bunch of rifles from Hendershot's. I'll call them tomorrow.

Thanks,
Steve

Friend Steve, there's a doohicky available from Brownells that helps to eliminate vertical stringing inherent to the No.1.

http://www.brownells.com/.aspx/pid=16944/Product/RUGER_reg___1_ACCURIZER

Alternative is to d&t the spring hanger and install a screw to apply pressure against the barrel which will also make the forend free floating.Did the latter to mine and BINGO !!

Saves ya 60 bucks as well.

Call me soon to ward off the snow demons.

BTW, Ruger is notorious for non cataloged and product runs on a whim it seems.

Steve,

You need to check Hendershots shop hours as they have changed before you ride up there. You may have to wait for the snow to melt.

Doc

Denny,

Thanks for the #1 tip. I've got a bunch of #1's and some shoot, and some don't. I'll get the kit from Brownell's. I'll call you today. Am planning to get snowed in again. Just hope I don't lose power again. That sucks big time.

Doc,
I'm going to call Hendershot's before I drive up there. Have gotten to know them fairly well and bought a lots of guns from them. They will hold the rifle for me. But I did check Gunsamerica yesterday, and they did not have the rifle that Hendershot's was supposed to be selling.

Thanks,
Steve

Whats snow? Its 35degrees C (95degrees F) here and humid. What a way to have a couple of days off work.
Let us know how the Brownells doohicky kit goes, a couple of pictures too if you get the chance.
Still waiting for the .300 H&H to arrive in the country.

cheers

wantok,

Called Hendershot's and they don't have the rifle.

Your weather is upside down from ours. Don't know why you do that(grins).

Steve

Kimber7man,

Thanks for the tip. The starting price for the rifle is $1229.95. The dealer I've ordered my rifle from will charge me $920. But, the dealer can't get any right now. I think I'll wait. But the auction rifle is tempting.

Steve

Just talked to my dealer who said they may have the rifles by the end of this month or in March. We'll see.

Steve

Check with Chuck Boggs in W. Va. He advertises in the Gun Digest. I just picked up a 1-S in 300 H&H from him at way less than retail.
