Chambered in .405 Winchester. If a label lacks a skull and crossed bones, the product cannot be very effective.

We weren't so digital back then in those days and I never thought to take photos of them somehow. For a number of years this was my saddle gun when I was hunting, an '82 vintage in .300 Win Mag. I installed a Moyer's trigger in it, added a Gentry barrel band and then made up a fore end the way I thought it should look and feel. It served me faithfully for many years, but as we got out of horses a couple years ago I didn't take it out much anymore. When a friend of our neighbor's offered me a fair price for it I sold it to help offset the cost of our eldest daughter's electric drum kit. Anyway, someday I might play with another No. 1 as I found a lot to like about them. Thanks for the thread and thanks to those who have posted photos already or still might. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all. Regards, Dwayne The most important stuff in life isn't "stuff"

Years ago I bought my son a set of electric drums. One of the purchases that I had mixed feelings about. It made my son happy, which I was glad about, but I didn't like wearing hearing protection in the house. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you.

Pretty poor in that department. Fortunately, they typically leave the wood proud, so the issue can be rectifed in most instances. I was fortunate enough to acquire a Shiloh Sharps a few years ago. For a production company, they do the finest wood/metal marriage this side of the Atlantic. Last edited by 1minute; 12/28/12. 1Minute

Then again, I'd let my AH go before I let this one go. It became quite sentimental this Christmas when I used it on a hunt with my older brother. We both shot a doe that evening. We hadn't seen one another in over 30 years.

The first No.1 I bought was a 375 H&H which had very plain wood. When I bought it, there was a 45/70 next to it with decent wood. I bought both, swapped butt stocks and sold the 45/70 to a buddy. After a few years with the 375, I traded it for a 450/400 with very plain wood but swapped stocks on the two as part of the trade. I also have a 300 H&H that came with plain wood so I swapped out butt stocks with a 9.3x74. The brown pad No.1 below is the 450/400 and the other is the 9.3x74 (prior to swapping wood with the 300 H&H). I've since sold the 9.3 (with ugly 300 H&H wood) and replaced it with another 9.3 with nice wood. I think I truly must be nuts, but it all made sense at the time After all of this craziness, I found an older No. 1A 7x57 that I had to have: And more recently, another 375 H&H with Boddington series wood:

They are hard to find and I had to order it sight unseen and can only hope the wood will look half a good as some wood pictured in this thread. Most of the rifles I've bought in the last few years have been for hunting and were stainless steel with composite stocks. I just couldn't order a single shot 45-70 in anything but American walnut and blued steel. It will not be scoped but, I haven't settled on what sights to get if the factory sights don't work for me. Can't wait to get it in and start working up hand loads using hard cast bullets. Start young, hunt hard, and enjoy God's bounty.

So far I have mostly shot it with the 300gr TTSX, which was designed for the .458 Socom. The last one I chrono'd, which was not maximum, was running about 2240 fps.

In any No.1 that would hurt a great deal. No 45-70 is a 458 WinMag but it is a great black powder cast bullet cartridge.

A 1B in .218 Bee. I'd pretty much call it full flame burl, on both sides "...the designer of the .270 Ingwe cartridge!..."

Freedumb1 Campfire Tracker Freedumb1 Campfire Tracker Joined: Jun 2006 Posts: 3,918 Where the Missouri & Big Sioux... Thank You Sillyak, I love the Boddington's. I had a Lion, in .375 Ruger, and the light weight and kicking caliber was painful. My Leopard in 7X57 is more my speed. The Lion kicked the snot out of me far worse than my 9.3X74R or 416 Rigby. Love that Matte finish, brighter sights, Circassian walnut, just love them!! So what do you use the Big Booming Nitro Express for?

My scale says 7.4 lbs! I only picked it up a week ago, ran through a few factory rounds and recoil was quite stout. Manageable offhand, but I would not want to shoot it off the bench. Managed to pull of a decent offhand grouping with it though. I think I'm going to get a mercury recoil reducer and wear a PAST when I shoot it. I plan to see how fast I can get a 500 grain TSX going. 2400 fps should be quite achievable.

They have a C weight barrel, not the D truck axle barrel of the .458 & .416 My .475 Turnbull has a C weight 26" and it's a hair over 9 lbs with a VX3 1.75-5 and Ruger offset rings. I've long wanted a .450, but they usually get sold before I grab them. "...the designer of the .270 Ingwe cartridge!..."

Freedumb1 Campfire Tracker Freedumb1 Campfire Tracker Joined: Jun 2006 Posts: 3,918 Where the Missouri & Big Sioux... Tex, That makes sense. The "C" weight Bbl. for a .375 H&H Mag. makes them fairly portable, and putting a larger hole down the tube should make for a lighter, handier gun. Maybe I need one of those myself!! Very Nice Boddington. (Looks like I have an excuse to keep my eyes open for a .450/.400)! If there is any proof of a man in a hunt it is not whether he killed a deer but how he hunted it.

If you want a .475T in the #1, and see one, best grab it. Turnbull told me less than 100 were made in that caliber! "...the designer of the .270 Ingwe cartridge!..."

The Circassian that Cabella's got on the .30-40 Krag's "A"'s was absolutely outstanding, far better than the average Circassian they used in the Boddington series. I like your choice of glass also. I wish .30-40 Krag was easier to find ammo/loading components. I wish they had made that rifle in 6.5 Swede or .260 Rem. Beauty.
