Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Single Shots Ruger #1

+1 on the 6.5/284. A great all around gun for most US game and as far as most of us are capable of shooting. Stores here won't even take an order for one.

Tack,
If you are referring to the new 1V in 6.5-284 for 2013, I will have a dozen of them.

Since we're not dealing with magazine length limitations, I see no advantage to a 6.5x284 instead of a .256 Newton/6.5-06/6.5x64mm.

Maybe factory ammo? Hard to believe you are a lefty.

And another point that went WAYYYYYY the f*ck over your head. Between a desire to stick a short action cartridge in a rifle with no magazine and building a rimfire No. 1, you're batting a thousand in the stupid idea department.

ENU, let's talk about it when you have one in hand.

Tack,

There is no last word with Bricktop. Unless his mother makes him go to bed.

It's not a difficult concept: If you post something stupid, you invite scorn. And I'm happy to oblige that invitation.

Let me see if I can spell this out for your dumb ass:

A 6.5x284 has a certain appeal in a bolt action rifle because it can be chambered in a short action rifle, which -- as you are apparently unaware -- will be somewhat more compact than a long action rifle.

Are you with me so far, Homer?

And if the resulting rifle is more compact than, say, a 6.5-06 bolt action rifle with an identical barrel length, you can reasonably say you've gained a slight advantage in weight and length.

Savvy?

Chambering a 6.5x284 in a single shot like the No. 1 gains you what advantage? The action is the same damned length as anything with a full-length H&H case.

But I suppose it has that sort of appeal you get from wearing a dark suit: you get to piss on yourself in public without anyone else knowing.

See.

BT - Thanks for the "Tip", I need to hurry on down and get my 22 hornet rechambered to something like a 22-375H&H or some such!

And I can see Ruger has figured out exactly what the interest is something like that, too. The .22 Hornet is the hottest seller in the No. 1. Dumbass.

You tell them lover. Daddy has your back. By Brickybaby is the toughest talking sissy on the net.

I could be persuaded to beleive that if you shortened the cartridge yet maintained the same internal ballistics you could expect a slight improvement in the external ballistics due to increased bore capacity. :-)

I do find it interesting that someone who on this forum has professed to own a 220 swift, 6.5x55, and a 250 Savage in falling block rifles would post the above. Figure that one out.

I don't own any f*cking rifles in "250 Savage," you ignorant jackass, but I do own a few in .250-3000 Savage. In fact, I don't own any single shots in .250-3000. Not a one. While you're busy trying to criticize me on some half-assed, horseshit "point," you'd do well to pull your head out of your ass before making that attempt.

There aren't any left-handed factory rifles in .220 Swift and a Ruger No. 1 is a hell of a lot easier on the pocketbook than even a simple custom left-handed rifle in that caliber. And your "point" on that was what, exactly? Again, you really need to pull your head out of your ass before attempting any criticism.

And with respect to the 6.5x55mm, I believe it's a long action caliber, is it not? (You should nod your head if you can read and understand that.) And a single shot in that caliber would allow a certain theoretical amount of flexibility with regard to not having a magazine to deal with and allowing me to seat 160-grain round nosed slugs as far out as I need to vice the maximum length a fixed magazine will allow, would it not? (It would be appropriate for you to nod at this juncture as well.)

You shouldn't waste your time or anyone else's -- especially mine -- with any of your horseshit criticisms when you can't pull together any basic facts or string together any sort of logic to shore up your "argument." You're f*cking weak and laughable. At best.

My mistake on the 250-3000, I guess your #1 .25cal is a .257 Roberts. Although you posted about your 250-3000 on a post in the single shot forum. Anyhow, none of your choices are on the 06 case.

None of what "choices?"

And the last I remembered, the .257 Roberts was stuck in the purgatory of "it's a short action/it's a long action" and a single shot pretty well removes that argument from the equation.

Even if I were right-handed, I'd still own a bunch of No. 1s just to give me an in to irritate you ladies and your hen party.

You tell em lover. My girl knows his No. 1's!

BT,

You need no "in" to be irritating. It is built into your displays of self-hate.
