Here is what they are:
The six new Ruger No. 1 model configurations are as follows:
1B Sporter chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor with 28” barrel, blued with walnut furniture.
1S Sporter chambered in 35 Whelen with 24” barrel, blued with walnut furniture.
1S Sporter chambered in 44 Magnum with 20” barrel, blued with walnut furniture.
1V Varmint chambered in .243 Win with 26” barrel, blued with walnut furniture and 1-in-7.7” twist.
K1RSI International chambered in .308 Win 20” barrel, stainless with walnut furniture.
1A Light Sporter chambered in .275 Rigby with 24” barrel, blued with walnut furniture and express sights.

HOT DAMN! That is one that I have been waiting on for a while. It seemed like it took forever for the 2015 models to go into production. Any ideas when we will start to see these getting made?

A few really neat entries in the whole line up. Really surprised to see two 1-S offerings. I guess that took the place of the 1-H?

Same wood as last year? Plain?

Whew, I dodged a bullet. Nothing I have to have there, although the 20" .44 will be cute...

I'll bet the .275 Rigby will be a cute little fella.

It's really hard to describe how well the 24" A weight barrels handle. Lipsey's had the 25-06 24" AH back in 2006. There were not really enough of them made for many hunters/shooters to hold/handle one. This AH did not have sights. This new 275 Rigby 1A has "Express sights", which I take to be like the sights on the Boddington African Series.
At one time, Huntington Die Specialties had 275 Rigby headstamped brass.
Agreed; this rifle should be as cute as my blue tick pup

Dang, there ain't nothin' as cute as a blue tick pup

Unless, it's our new head dawg, Sophie.

I've yet to see the point of a Creedmoor, unless you want to use a short action, but to each his own I would have rather seen a 26 Nosler in the 28" barreled 1B.

Now the .44 mag could be a real interesting deal, and a good companion to my .44 S&W's. Eventually I'll have a 7x57 of one sort or another, so one stamped .275 Rigby is fine with me.

We'll, one thing about it, a .26 Nosler will definitely clean out a Creed chamber. A little extractor work and you would be in business.

I have always wanted a number one marked 275 Rigby. Might have to get this one.

Mine is marked 275 Rigby Imp., 26" floated Lilja Bbl., Kepplinger Trigger.

I would like to see photos of the 1A 275 Rigby. I like the idea of the express sight. Wish they sold one separately.

Cheers,

Chris

Whew! Almost bought a Smith 329PD on Saturday.
Will use that $ for the #1 in .44 mag.

That 35 whelen is awefully tempting!


275 rigby ammo and brass are also available from Hornady. I have been shooting some of it in my ruger no 1 7x57 and it seems to be good stuff

I have occaisionally wanted a .275 Rigby in a number one. But I only want one and well, my 30/40 Krag is just too darn nice.

Hornady makes .275 Rigby headstamped brass.

I can see the Creedmore, but 28" is just a bit too much of a good thing, 'cept maybe for bayonet fighting.

And as a promotional offering, if you buy 5 or more boxes of .275 Rigby brass Hornady will send you a genuine pith helmet with Hornady and Ruger logos on the front.

That's cheating

So any dealers here that have these in order?

I'd like to buy the 44 and the 308....

That Rigby marked gun w 24" barrel will be neat. I have a 7x57 A but the barrel is a bit to short .

They are showing on their website now.

I really want one of these too. Been waiting for them to finally make it in this combo!

I had my local dealer put a .275 on his Lipsey's "wish list" for me. I talked to Lipsey and of course they have no idea when these will show up but they said dealers that a regular customers will get priority so I went to this new shop that they said are pretty high volume. It's not really my kind of place but we'll see what happens. I know it won't happen quickly so I might as well start ordering brass now.

Does it come with a tracker, beaters, and a Land Rover to haul everybody?

It predates the Land Rover. I suspect it comes with a camel. If you're a tiger hunting fan perhaps a nice curry?

The Creedmoors are shipping, two of them are already on GB. One has actual photos. The wood is not horrible, but plain-ish

I think they call the 275 Rigby Imp. a .270 Win.

Better still, a Red Stag stew with a bundle of heather as a centerpiece!

Don't forget the haggis!

?????????

The 44 mag would be a fun gun, the price really makes me miss the old H&R handy. That would be another topic.

I am glad to see Ruger has offered a full line up (plus one) in No1 rifles. I will wager the 7x57 aka Rigby will sell. Nice option. Classic caliber in a good hunting gun.

I have to wonder, if you build a No1 with a long enough and heavy enough barrel can you expect top notch accuracy. I mean the 6.5 is for what purpose?

.275RigImp does lack the full 'Color Spectrum' of the 270 though....

Pretty good explanation over at the "Ask the Gunwriters" forum

Good explanation from Mule Deer, as usual.

There's now a couple of 6.5 #1's on GB

I paid big bucks for my Low Wall .44 and it's worth every penny to me. Sometime you just have to grit your teeth and go for it. A year from now, that money won't be missed a bit.

FYI - I have 50 pieces of proper head stamped Hornady brass and the dealer called and said he'd likely have my .275 on Friday or Saturday. We'll see what it looks like.
