For those that have an interest and have followed the earlier thread on this subject. the Ruger No.1 rifle is NOT discontinued and is planned to be in the 2017 production lineup. This is from Chris Killoy, the Ruger President.

Considering how many dealers said they were told otherwise, Ruger sure has a funny way of continuing a rifle, not that it's a bad thing, I'm glad to hear it. Any other information, such as will Lipsey's still run the #1 show, or is it going back to Ruger?

God, I hope you're right and God, I pray 2017 isn't the dawn of the No. 1 Mark II American....

Is it to early to ask what the 2017 chamberings are going to be?

El_Numero_Uno: I hope you are right - something to look forward to in 2,017 and beyond.
Personally I have always wanted a Ruger #1-B in 22 L.R.!

That's great news. I'm glad some of the dealers have significantly dropped their prices on these. Man, the price on the .35 Whelen is very tempting!

There was a large number of No.1's that were recently made and not 2016 build and many of those were "highly discounted". Better get them while they are low!
The Rimfires are what I am suggesting for 2017. I know the factory knows how to make them; they have done it!!

Buds, Whittaker, and I think CDNN. Several of them were on Gunbroker too.
Personally, I don't get the appeal of a rimfire in the #1. Of course, if the wood was an absolute knockout I suppose I could see myself with a 22lr 1A.
A .17cal centerfire would appeal to me more though...in either the A or B configuration. I would love to see one last run of 1AH's in a .24 or .25 cal too.

I was told the same thing by Ruger last week. Ruger's statement contradicted the information that Lipsey's reps were telling dealers.
Interesting though, because Lipsey's dumped some current production rifles at the discount. No doubt Ruger was cleaning up old parts inventory and maybe the 2017 rifles will have the wood everybody has been waiting for?
I wouldn't be surprised if the No. 1's were on the chopping block the day before the election. Ruger was gearing up for the post election rush -- the now available stripped lowers are evidence of that. I think they now realize huge sales won't be a given in the years to come and they're going to need unique products and some innovation to keep the trucks moving. Maybe we'll finally see some other stuff we've been asking for?
I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!

Yeah, maybe they won't need to churn out quite as many AR's as they THOUGHT they would! Another reason to thank The Donald. He may have just saved the No. 1 !!

I would say that is a very astute observation. I bet you are spot on! Whatever the case, I'm happy, happy, happy that they aren't gonna die on the vine!
