Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Single Shots Ruger no1 in 450 bushmaster

There is a current run of 44 mag. so not really rare at this point.

The 450 #1 was a design failure.

The only advantage of the 460 over the 450 is the rim and ability to roll crimp. In bolt or single shots, case capacity and potential velocities are pretty much the same

All No1 are a collaboration between Lipsey and Ruger. No caps or ! needed. Look at the ruger website and all 7 models listed are shown as Lipsey exclusive. Does it matter?

The American 450 threads, quote: "Compact threaded barrel (11/16"-24 thread pattern) with Ruger® Muzzle Brake etc, etc, ..." I expect the No1 is the same. I suppose the brake could be replaced with a thread protector. Ruger could offer some kind of bayonet attach brake cover for hunting and remove for range shooting. They dont, I mean they could. That would be an interesting gunsmith project. For the ranch rifle perhaps.

The combination of features on the Ranch rifle make sense with a very light and quick rifle 16" barrel at 5.5 pounds (before scope). The No1 at 7.5 pounds (before scope) is a collector novelty with features that some one though had eye appeal.

If some one wants one, any back yard FFL, who does your $25 online transfers and can place the order for you direct from Lipsey. You pay wholesale & shipping plus his $25 fee, all up front in cash I would imagine or cc with some adjustments. I dont know what wholesale is, probably around a 1000 and change.
