Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Single Shots Ruger No.1-AH 22"bbl. .22 LR (The rifle Ruger should offer)

WooHOO!! It's here! He really does do great work. I just got it late tonight, and haven't been able to shoot it yet.

It started out as an AB in .270 Win. I don't have anything against the cartridge, but this rifle never did impress me in the accuracy department. So,when Mitch showed off his new .22, this one seemed like the perfect donor.

The stock is actually a factory piece, just refinished. The forend is cut back about 4" and slimmed way down. Then the ebony tip was added and the whole thing was re-checkered by a gentleman here in Montana.

The scope is an old steel Weaver with a post and cross hair reticle.

I can't wait to get it out and play!

I will get some better pictures when I can get out and play with it.

Very jealous

I really like how the forearm was improved!

I also like the forearm!

Frankly the standard AB forearm normally looks a little big with the "A" pencil 22" BBL. sticking out. I have never warmed up to the "B"'s because they always feel barrel heavy. That is why I have plenty of "A"'s and "RSI"'s.

Glad you like the job Steve did, I also could not be happier!!

Have you had a chance to shoot her yet?

Sadly I have not...

Hopefully this weekend. I'm up to my @ss in snow.

A donor you say ?
I have the exact S22L in .243 Win w/ Semi-BT Forend !
And yes, It is a non-prefix 4 digit #1, in nearly new cond' and a shooter to boot !
Many years ago, just after Sighting in, I evaporated a Crow into a cloud of feathers from about 250 yds.away . 80 gr Powerlokt HP .
Anyone interested PM me before I post it on the classifieds.
If someone buys it, just don't tell me yer makin' a 22 rimfire out of it .lol

Nitrosonic, PM sent.

Thx,
