Originally Posted by Desertranger On page 275 of Jack O’Connor’s excellent book “Sheep and Sheep Hunting” he writes the following “A 7.5 or 8-pound scope-equipped No.1 (referring to the Ruger 1) in 7x57... would be an excellent lazy man’s sheep rifle.” Now I’m not exactly a ball of fire and most other sheep hunters I know are not either; but “Lazy Man”? Any idea what he meant by that comment? I have tried to figure that out for years but I don’t seem to be astute enough to get it. How about you? Interesting, I have the book and tried the #1 for sheep hunting and I sold it. I hunt horseback, it rides in a scabbard pretty well, you do need extra time to fumble a round into the chamber, this annoyed me a little. What really ticked me off - a small set screw holding a tiny spring fell out in my travels and with the spring gone the action wouldn't lock up. It was relegated to a jack handle or a tent pole on that hunt. Who would of thunk it? Well, I think without a rifle a hunter might be lazy and stay in camp Last edited by comerade; 06/26/21.
