I like the x39, but somehow my mind puts it in a Handi-Rifle, not a Ruger No. 1.
A .30/30, also available here and there, is far more useful and compelling,
Agree ..... The #1 is a classic rifle whereas the 7.62x39 not so much a fitting classic chambering.
OTOH, I wouldn't have an SKS re-done in 30-30.
