Had a beautiful 1B in 25-06, but since 25s never turned my crank...other than an interest in a 250-3k, or AI version, it went down the road. Others were 1B 270, 1A 243, 1RSI 243.......and a K1A 6.5x55 Stainless with gorgeous Walnut. That shot 1.1" at 200 yds...3 shots. That 1A 243 did 3/8" out the box......for some reason felt the desire to have Pac-Nor put on a 6BR in 8 twist, 1V contour, but 26" long. It shot .498....at 330 yds....Kepplinger trigger and 4-16x40 AO 4200.
When you have an accurate Ruger No. 1 - they sure are fun. That said, I also had....had...a beautiful 243 Low Wall....sold it.....shot 1/2 MOA, first 2 in the same hole at 200 yds, 6x scope.
Single shots when built well, like many of mine were........and stocked with pretty wood, are very worthy.
That said, I would never pay any decent money, for ANY wood stocked rifle, with ugly wood. Now if they want to come out with a value priced Stainless with a lightweight quality material composite stock......but those FUGLY wood rifles.......you can keep those. Just me.
Many options out there, but a TC owner can change out barrels and have a nice wood stock.....and have a lot of fun for less money. Ask Bobby Tomek
I had a 6 TCU years back....another I should have kept, like the 22, 6.5 / 7 TCU, 41s, 44, 30-30, and 357 Max Contenders I used extensively years ago......often MOA accurate.
