Since the original thread became the hotbed of discussion regarding the use of single shot rifles for big game hunting, I am re-posting to save future topic visitors the time of reading through the discussion!!
Ruger No. 1B red pad .243 Win. Excellent 95%+ condition for both bluing and wood. 26" barrel. Serial #: 132-920XX. Scope shown in photos is NOT included but Ruger extended rings (4BO) are included. Can't tell you how it shoots as I have never shot it. Bought it to satisfy my "need" for a Ruger #1 after an unsuccessful search for a Ruger #1A in .257 only to find (and buy) a .257 1A less than a month after buying this gun. Asking $875 plus $50 shipping in a hard plastic case inside a sturdy cardboard box to CONUS. Not interested in any trades at this time. See photos below.
Ping pong balls for the win. Once you've wrestled everything else in life is easy. Dan Gable I keep my circle small, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.
