But, my newer, UGLY WOOD #1 in 45-70 is a shooter and a keeper. It is more accurate than I am and if I scratch it in the field, I'm OK with it. Some of the wood in the above pictures would be hard for me to take hunting in the bush. Start young, hunt hard, and enjoy God's bounty.

This big guy has decent wood on it. Not great, mind you, but pretty decent. .475 Turnbull, less than 100 made, is what I was told by Turnbull. It shoots, too: "...the designer of the .270 Ingwe cartridge!..."

And this 2009 Medium Sporter in 9.3 X74R. If there is any proof of a man in a hunt it is not whether he killed a deer but how he hunted it.

I went over a 24 hour period in the classifieds and there was nothing. So,if you bought here "yesterday" where is the ad? Why is not in the classified,cause I looked for it? Did you really buy it or just "copy & pasted" a pic from somewhere else and claim it as your own? So,where did you get this Ruger No.1? And I really doubt you even own it,as in the past you use pics from other sites as your own. Also,how can a single shot have 14 rds "up the spout?" Also,I told what I found,one ad for a Ruger No.1 .30-06 and another for a Ruger No.1 fore-end. Last edited by elkhunternm; 02/13/15.

A real .270 Liberty #1: Both it and the .475 Turnbull I posted earlier did make an appearance at the last Quemado Gathering. I actually did show up and meet people. It shoots well, too. I took it hunting last year as a backup. I checked zero at 50 yards, and it put three into one hole. And I do mean one hole. At 50 yards with the Loopey turned up to 10x, I could see only one hole after three shots. Concerned, I moved the POA about an inch, and a 4th hole appeared an inch away. I may bring it to the Hog Hunt, just to annoy .270 haters "...the designer of the .270 Ingwe cartridge!..."

You know where I live and I would be happy to show any of you the rifles if you wish. best to you and yours, Larry I never said a fore-end is for sale,it is "WTB" ad that YOU larry started. Also get off your butt and search the classifieds for the Ruger No.1 .30-06. That's how I found it.

The .475 has pretty nice wood, and it is the most accurate big bore have ever seen. So far I have 500's up to 1975 fps out of the .475. It has about 5% less case capacity than a .458 Win, but a very long throat, so I am hoping to reach 2100 fps. At that point it's solidly in .470 Nitro class. It also weighs a hair over 9 lbs, with the scope & mounts. "...the designer of the .270 Ingwe cartridge!..."

For that kind of horsepower the Brits use a standing bench rest so you can roll with the recoil. SSK says they will make you a 600 Nitro on a No. 1 !

All were red pads except the 450/400 which was restocked with a 1976 458 stock that had been dipped in spar varnish. A big job but worth it. 300 H&H was a 30-06 1B that got changed, sights, BB and an AH fore-end. The 2 with pads were not cut and I still have the red pads for them. Just bought two more here this week from nice gentlemen.

I can see you follow the adage, "Life is to short to hunt with ugly guns." I'm thinking it is getting close for me to take a new No.1 group photo. If there is any proof of a man in a hunt it is not whether he killed a deer but how he hunted it.

It is unfortunate that a few (very few) of you cannot follow them as well. As for being a liar ..... well the No.1Bs in 270 and 7mm Rem Mag are on the way. I'll be sure to post photos of them when they arrive for your edification. May I suggest you go back and read the post describing what Bill O'Reilly said about "haters" ? best to you and yours, Larry Root

Most No. 1s have very plain fore-ends, even the ones with exhibition level buttstocks. My 2010 production .300 H&H has very nice wood. The fore-end has a straight grain and is quite typically plain. I have a Boddington in .450 NE on its way to me. Looks to have fairly plain wood. I only have the store's stock image of that one:
