Well gang, I finally did it! I got my first (it will not be my last) Ruger No. 1, in 25-06. She is a beauty, and I can't wait to shoot it. She came with an old 3x9 Redfield scope (when they were made in Denver), and Ruger rings. I got a great deal on her. Her trigger is crisp with no creep at all.

Enjoy!

She's a beauty, para. Congrats

PARA45, that's a beautiful No. 1. The wood is gorgeous. Congratulations!

Beautiful. No.1s are the Rugers that are really just inherently good looking. I argue that other Rugers are beautiful for their utilitarian appeal (SP101, Marks I-III, Mini-14).

Great gun, love to have one.

 

[Hans13]

Looks great! I just can't get myself to get one because of that darn price tag... Oh, and because some of us need more than one shot

Sweet #1 mate.
Congratulations & enjoy.

Envy,,, take care of that nice wood lad get a good bag keep it away from bumps n snags

Tell us how it shoots later and only if needed we may help thee tweak its set up, No1's can be a wee small chore to get just right but that's a lot of the charm and attraction.

Congrats! That is a beautiful gun. Hope you enjoy owning it as much as I do mine. They are great rifles. There is only one major problem with them... you can never have too many. They are a bit habit forming.

Congratulations on a really fine rifle. I had one just like that a number of years ago. It is one gun that I truly regret letting go. Some day I will own another.

 

[North country gal]

That is one fine looking rifle. Congrats.

 

[PARA45]

Thanks everyone for your comments. The military has me working like a "Rented Mule" right now, and I have not been qble to go out to shoot it. Hopefully soon, I'll be able to provide a range report. Stay tunned.

That is a Ruger No. 1B, what I like is its two bases which reduces the weight that the original base is a full bridge. Beautiful caliber.

I don't think it's a 1-B, I Belive it's a # 1-V, all 1-V's have two bases. As to the weight, it's heaver than a 1-B.

Men have all the reason is a Ruger No. 1V (Varminter) with 24 "barrel.
