Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds Ruger #1 trade?............................ ....

I have a beautiful #1 B in 22-250. Red pad. Low round count. Excellent condition. Never hunted, only shot from bench. Rather unique wood on it that I love. It has a very nice Kepplinger trigger installed that I believe was $250. It shoots excellent. Never any problems or accuracy issues with it. I will have to pull it out to check serial # to date it.

I am considering trading it for a #1 in a different chambering. I have other .22s that get used. This one just sits in safe looking pretty. I love it, and it is a joy to shoot. I may very well regret ever getting rid of it.

So I am basically looking to trade it for a different #1 in .243 or larger chambering. I don't have anything specific in mind. I don't want anything in .257 or .277. Must be low round count, nice wood.

I like almost anything in 6mm, 6.5mm, 7mm. A Swede or 7x57 would rate high on list. I like 405 Win. To name a few, but would consider others.

If interested, please PM me and let me know what you have and we can exchange pics.

I would consider selling, but really just want another #1 in a different chambering.

Thanks......

Hi Ken, bump up for a Good Guy!

I have a 416 Remington that's been in the safe 6 years, I was told by original owner it was unfired, I have never fired it.I have become recoil averse since had neck surgery, pm me and we can swap pictures if interested.

Thanks John.

Uno, I will have to pass on the 416 but thanks very much for the offer.

Please PM offers.

Still looking....

The wood on this stock is very dense and the gun feels rock solid. More so than any other #1 than I have encountered. Length of pull is about 13.25". Fit/finish is superb. Better than recent mfg. #1s. Rings are Leupold lows, I believe. Mfg. in 1990. Low round count. Kepplinger trigger is set at about 12oz. in set mode. 1 3/4 lbs. in standard mode. Shoots great with Varget and H380. Thanks......

That is unusual, have not seen a stock like that previously. But I do have a .22-250, so no trade here - but a free bump.

I was told it was a special order gun, or that wood was hand selected or something to that effect. I cannot confirm or deny this. Not that it much matters. It is what it is.

I have had it since about 1996 and probably haven't put more than 100 rounds down it. Previous owner told me he hadn't put more than a couple boxes down it. He bought it for his daughter who never used it and wanted the money for something else.....

Well I can't find the nice groups I shot with Varget and 50 gr. BSTs. But they were 1/2"-3/4" groups. Did find this though. One shot at 200 yds., closest to eye, to see who bought the beer on the way home. Needless to say, I drank for free that night
