A guy traded a like new K1B into the shop yesterday and I had to have it. It's chambered in 243 -- one of my favorite cartridges.

I've always been attracted to the No. 1's, but never took the plunge. I could see me building a pile over the next few years. Besides, I need something to collect. They're unique rifles. This could get expensive.

For those of you in the know, what should I be looking for? Any time period models more desirable than others? Things I should avoid? Models I should lust after?



I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!
