Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Single Shots Who Purchased a New Ruger Number 1 in 2014

Rugers website shows only "distributor exclusives" under the Number 1 listing for 2015. Friday they displayed the 2014 offerings.

People pee and moan about the fact that these fine rifles maybe be discontinued but how many purchased a New one last year.

2013 I purchased a New .222 1A and a 7x57 RSI .

2014 I purchased a New .280 1A, and RSI in .257 and .300RCM.

If only a few are purchasing the new models, it's not surprising they may become a endangered species.

I did, but it was a NIB .303 Brit from the run a year or two back. Hopefully, they are just updating the caliber list for 2015. If you check the product page they say they'll have new caliber options for 2015:

I bought a NIB 30/30.

No, but I would be interested in your thoughts on the RSI Bob. Have always been interested in the RSI line.

Haven't shot the RSI Bob yet, previously had a 1A in 257. Have always have liked the #1 RSI for their handling, with a small scope the handle like a wand, with more class then something in synthetic and stainless.

I bought the RSI in .257, and have two primary loads so far, the 110 gr. AB at 2900, which I developed for a different gun, but shoots 1.25 MOA in the RSI, and I used it to kill an 8 point on 15 November, and the 100 gr. Hornady at about 2850 for an all round load, it shoots to the same POI at 100 as the 110 load, but shoots a bit tighter, often under an inch for three. I have a lot of deer guns, but that one hasn't seen its last hunt.

I bought a new old stock .475 Turnbull, which was an over-run of a limited run, from a few years ago.

I bought a NIB 1A in 7x57 last year. Don't know what year it was made.

Ruger had stated that their plans as of now, are to not catalog any #1's this year. They blame it on production demand for other guns, mainly the American. Surprising they only list the one distributor exclusive. Word was a month ago that they would have a few choices in that route. But then Lipseys came out with a supposed list of #1's coming out. Maybe those will all be limited runs as well. Might know more at SHOT show time, but unfortunately, it's not looking great.

I bought a 7x57 RSI but haven't shot it more.than a few times, they are one sweet handling little rifle. My daughter was so taken by it that she bought herself one in 7x57 as well. I will get serious working up some good hand loads when I get enough brass. My daughter has found my small stash of factory ammo and is quickly converting it into once fired for my convenience!

I ordered a 9.3x62 in 2014 but still waiting for delivery. Hopefully a couple of weeks should see it turn up.

My son in Anchorage, AK bought a 30-06 No. 1 last month from an individual, new in the box for $650.
