My first No 1 was a V in 7mm Rem Mag. I lived in eastern NC at the time and it was great shooting from elevated box blinds down long straight logging roads or over bean fields. When I moved and started hunting the mountains of eastern KY that heavy 26" barrel got real old real fast. I sold it for a No 1 A in 30-06 and never looked back. Both were plenty accurate and kill deer out as far as I'm willing to shoot them, but the 1 A is a joy to carry up and down the steep hills.
