Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Single Shots TALO edition in Ruger #1

Just what is the TALO edition? I'm considering one in a Ruger #1 35 Whelen. Does this have nicer wood than a std #1?

Talo is a big distributer that has the buying power to order up "specials". Lipsey's is another. Must not take too much oomph as I see a lot of that from smaller oufits, though not No. 1s.

The wood varies. Better get real, not stock pics if it's important to you.

I have a Lipsey's #1A stainless in 6.5×55 and the wood is quite nice.

I have asked for pics of the actual gun and called the seller twice and e mailed with no reply. I bought a Lipsey's #1 in 250 Savage and the wood was quite plain. It does shoot well though.

I can understand that a busy seller might not have the time or staff to do that, but they should at least respond to say so.

In the #1's i think its more what it is chambered in. The wood seems to vary from the pics i see

Same here on seeing wood on Number 1s. I'm not too picky as long as they aren't in terrible shape. Just trying to decide what I want or if I want to load for another caliber. My stack of dies is already tall but I really want one in a classic African cartridge which I don't have any of.

I have #1"s in 375 H&H and 450-400 NE. Both are very accurate and am looking forward to deer hunting with them.
