Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Single Shots Ruger 1 RSI

This ^^^^^^^. Just another head scratcher from Ruger. I like their products but sometimes you just feel like why? I'm still wondering why a 218 bee in a 1S my favorite configuration by the way but they never made it in a 30-06. I thought everything came in 30-06

No mystery why the 1S 218 Bee is your favorite. It would be hard to find a classier, more fun rifle; that's why!
I think your wish for a 30-06 has been answered for 2015, sort of. I seem to recall that they're making the 1A in 30-06, but with a 24" barrel, so maybe half-way there ;-)

I have a fairly new RSI in 7mm Mauser. It shoots just fine and I haven't checked the throat, but the longer the bullet the tighter the groups. It shoots an inch with 175's. Anything less is about 1.5 inches. Plenty good without a lot of work and fuss.

gewehrfreund, I did not phrase that too well, I like the1S and the218 bee but a Bee that hefty is a complete fubar to me. Maybe a 1A or 1AH but not a 1S . Likewise I would loved t have a 1S in a std chambering.

Between auto spell on my iPad and the constant refreshing on this site it's hard o post a legible message. I use to think Kawi was doing that on purpose.

You're not alone in those sentiments (about the 1S and 218 Bee), but it pretty much defines my definition of a perfect rifle that's not only well made and attractive, but all sorts of fun too.
Too heavy? Maybe for carrying all day up and down hills, but at the bench or sitting on the edge of a hay field, that's not an issue. And my two are all kinds if accurate (and it's fun and easy (and cheap) to reload for )

Never say Never !

I too was enamored with the style of the 1S Number 1 as soon as they were introduced.
But like the proverbial "Tits on a Boar Hog", I could see no use for the Sights on so sleek a Rifle .
I ordered mine w/out the sights in Cal' 30-06 .
This was back when there were no Prefixes on them.

1984 in .243 Winchester:







Shoots 1"-1.5" groups at 100 yards with Federal low price ammo.

I had thought I would get a No. 1 RSI in .257 Roberts if they ever came out, but when they did come out the wood was mediocre and I passed.

Delicious, Bushy!

Got mine a few weeks ago. Been wanting one for a long time. Took the Leupy off and put a Skinner peep on it. Works been so busy have t had time to sight her in yet (got a bunch of 175 RN loaded up, tho!) Ain't even going to try for 'groups'. After all, it's a single shot and I'm gonna shoot once at an animal. Who gives a rats ass if it 'walks' as the barrel heats up!

Now my only dilemma is which do I take this year? 1S in 9.3x62 or the RSI 757...
