I looked long and hard for one in 38/55 then gave up when a Winchester High Wall action became available. The Ruger action makes a great canvas for a custom rifle and I've done two the third might be in 300 Savage or 308. I really don't need another rifle but need really has nothing to do with it.

I have one in 450/400 NE and with 68 grains of h4895 and a 300 grain Hornady it's easy to shoot. I took a nice big doe with it two nights ago.

GSPfan,

We've seen that beautiful 300 H&H, could you post some pictures of your other one, maybe in a new thread?

For those who missed it his 300 H&H...

Thanks,

Jerry

I have only seen 1 6ppc and one .22 ppc.... I own them both... wink I find that rare #1's are a lot like the the elusive "Turdy-point-buck" the ony reason most people want them is for the "bragging rights"... Most folks around here didn't even know I had them. I have a lot of Ruger #1's... Some are rare, and some are quite odd chamberings. Most folks here couldn't even guess what I have...
