Your Favourite Ruger No1 Cal?

[WhelanLad]

Hey guys, Ive been searching a bit lately for whats around in the Ruger #1 offering, various calibres here and there but I'm not sure many would want to Swap the rifle for mine.... and I'm not entirely sure I want to swap out mine!


So what would be your favourite Ruger #1 Chambering which would have to be Open sighted of some sort.... most likely not to be scope but must have opens as a minimum!

I'm interested in hearing..

I have a 375 H&H blued and walnut. I would like to add the stainless laminate 45/70 to the stable.

45/70, 375 H&H and 303BR

Any rimmed cartridge actually... I should have kept my No.1-A .30/30....

Interesting that everybody hails 25-06 as one of the most versatile chamberings yet nobody wants one in a no. 1?

30/30, 45/70 and my 9.3x74 my stainless laminate 25-06 is the most accurate rifle I have ever owned

There are 2 - #1 Rugers that I regret selling.
!. A #1 AB in 7x57. Accurate and very pretty...
2. A #1 B in 300 Win Mag. This one had wood, both fore and aft that would make you weak in the knees.
Can't figure out what I was thinking, It was also a very accurate rifle.

45-70 it's the nicest handling #1 they offered in my opinion, but probably not the most versatile chambering.

My favorite? Why, my new .44 Magnum, of course. The 20" barrel is incredibly compact in a falling block. I waited 30 years to get one and I'm quite pleased with it.

I'd like to have one like this with 25" bbl and red pad in 7x57 Rimmed. I could live w/o the tang sight.

Nice! Actually, to my eye, I think the tang sight adds to the 'Look'. I've only had two Ruger No. 1's. One in 22-250 that my Son in the B.C. interior now has, primarily for Coyotes. The other was a heavier barrelled 25-06. That one I wish I would've kept.

9.3x74, but I mostly miss when they were $1000 or just under

I agree it adds to the "Look" but would probably end up scoping it.

When I gave my Son the No. 1 in 22-250, I replaced it with a similar styled rifle, of an earlier vintage, in 219 Donaldson Wasp, with a matching era scope .
