Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Single Shots Ruger No. 1 potential

I have owned several and I have one now.

Accuracy is all over, depending on which one. Some were so-so and some were good with 2 being VERY good

I had 2 different 270s. One with a 26" barrel and standard forend and one with a 22" and Alex Henry forend. The 26" rifle shot about 1-3/4" at 100 yards, but the 22" shot half MOA.
I had a 22" 243 which I gave to a dear friend. That gun shot just a bit over MOA.
I has a 30-06 that would shoot some 180 grain handloads (Noslers and IMR 4064 powder) to about 1-1/4" but was finicky and didn't like 150 or 165s, At least none of the loads I tried. with many loads it shot about 2.5"
I had a 7MM Rem mag and it was the worst. It only shot 4"-5" at 100 yards and I never got anything better, so I re-barreled it to 300 H&H and with the new barrel I got Sub MOA. I sold it to a friend who still hunts with it.
My 375H&H shot about 1-1/8" to 1-1/4" at 100.
My Current 9.3X74R is one of the best. With Horandy and Nosler 286 grain bullets I get about .800" at 100 yards and with the Speer 270 grain (which I don't like to hunt with because of the fact it breaks up so easily) it shoots a ragged hole.
Between the 9.3X74R and my shorter 270 I can't say which is best, but both are VERY good.

I know a man in Rawlins Wyo that has one in 30-30 Winchester and I was very impressed at his accuracy too. He is getting ragged hole groups too with it.
