Went to my local gun shop that my buddy owns to pick up waterfowl shells and saw they had two Ruger No 1 that an older gentleman had in there on consignment. I was able to get this 243 win for $1000. I was looking to see if i did good with this purchase and any info i can get on it? Looked up the serial number on Ruger’s website and its a year 1975

If thats a varmint model then check your twist, Ruger had a habit of putting 12 twist instead of 10 in varmint models.

Very nice rifle. You did very well!!! Enjoy it, and let us know how it shoots. Thanks!!!
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style.
You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole.

The No. 1's bring crazy money around here and most will bring $1200-1400 for the red pad guns.
