tex n cal,
Thanks for the visit; I think you will be glad you put that .222 away. As I noted in the article, "Ruger No.1 Rarity Estimates", any non-prefix rifle is a rare rifle, as there were only about 7500 of them, serial #s up to 8437. Any rifle from that table with a production estimate of less than 1%( or less than 50) is very rare. Of course this information only relates to the non-prefix No.1's. There are some later prefixed rifles that were made in very small quantities. The 1B in .284 Winchester comes to mind, with only a handful made. The .264 Win. Mag. in 1B is another, with 5 or less, rifles. A 1A in 7x57 made in 1972 is another, with about 10 rifles; but, there was the non-cataloged run of about 300 in 1976. It has been in the Catalog since 1977 and is extremely popular. Just remember how many threads there have been about it on the Campfire!
