Anyone have one of these? Looking at one with pretty nice wood, nice figure and all with a little bit of signs of use. A few dings in the stock. Otherwise looks new. What something like this go for thee days? Not that far back they would run $750 new…then they were $2000 or more depending on caliber and wood…seems like things have come down a bit?

Nifty chambering. At the end of the day, what's it worth to you? That's all that matters.

Red or black pd ? blue or stainless ? 1A or B ?
You can buy almost any No. 1 for < $1500.
Biggest choices are from the large auction houses.
I'd rather have a 7X57 that were made in red pads with high grade wood.

Depending on wood with that scope, 1300-1600. High end wood is like this:

There has been a pretty nice looking one in the classifieds. Not sure if it already sold or not. Rick

I’m a 7-08 fan but can’t see the point of it in a Ruger No. 1. A 7x57 has all of the cool history as the great grandad of modern cartridges. The 7-08’s biggest advantage is being chambered in a short action, something that obviously does not mater in No. 1.
Granted the 7-08 is still the more practical easy button but Ruger No. 1’s IMO usually appeal to guys into guns and mostly likely reloading.

If we are wearing our caliber snob hats today, I would opt for a rimmed caliber such as 30/40 or 303. The bold might even wish for a 7x57R which I doubt Ruger ever offered. That big advantage and desirability of 7mm-08 over a 7x57 is for a person already shooting 7mm-08. And I assume many are. I am setup to reload both, so; I would rather the 7x57. Not only more classy, but even a nit pick better caliber. No idea what Ruger did for twist, but; as a rule the 7x57 favors heavier bullets, which I also prefer.
I used to think 7mm-08 also had an advantage in ammo availability. But 7mm-08 is far a few between and cost 50-60 bucks a box while I am actually seeing 7x57 PPU on the shelf for under 30. That is the world turned upside down!
