How much interest in a Canadian limited edition Ruger No.1?

[DANCESWITHEMPTIES]

Just trying to see if their would be any interest in a Canadian limited edition Ruger No.1 rifle? I thought about it & would like to see one. Lipseys limited edition's are out and I'm not sure of the stock run required to have one produced. But if given the chance I would purchase one in an 'A' or RSI configuration in Canadian Maple of course & in say .303 British. Maybe custom serial numbers?
What do you guys figure & what would you like to see?

That sounds like a great idea, caliber choice will be the big stumbling block. FS

I love one in 303 british, or 7x57.

sounds good to me, I think a 303B would be cool but not likely going to happen. FS you think any new rifle idea is good cause you already have one of everything

I dont think Ruger is taking any more special runs (too backed up) however, I like the idea. A normal light sporter in 303 british - no wood changes or other "special" markings.

 

[DANCESWITHEMPTIES]

The caliber & wood choices were just my pipe dream. Seeing how it was going to be 'Canadian' I thought this might best reflect a limited edition here. But pick away your at your own personal choices. I'm interested to see the majority's idea of what a rifle like this should be...

I'd try to afford one if it were in .303British. I'd try harder if it also had a full length stock.

 

[woolly]

.303 British , serial number such as 1867-###X

.303 British , serial number such as 1867-###X

That is a real good idea. I was just thinking a personal number, straight up. But I like that idea a lot more...

Interested.

[mark k]

I'll take one.

 

[Silverado]

A medium sporter or RSI in 303 would be very cool.

You can keep the maple stock though, I'll take mine in walnut.

Just to add, a 77RSI in 303 would also be very appealing.

 

[DANCESWITHEMPTIES]

I like the 77 RSI as well, but would want to see it configured to fit an original Enfield magazine....

 

[popcan]

Make it in .308

 

[Calum]

Make it in .308

X2.

One of these rifles would probably cost several grand, personally I'd rather have the .308 over the .303.

 

[DANCESWITHEMPTIES]

Nah... Too common. I like the round, a lot. But nay! Same with the 30-06 & 270... If you said something like "257 Roberts" or "300 H&H" (which is out this year), I'd be with ya....

Lipseys will have the stainless walnut ones in 250 Savage soon.

 

[glock9x19]

short barreled with a pistol grip and I'm IN!

 

[graydog]

I would like one in 38-55 winchester.

Back in the late eighties, when I owned a pharmacy with a firearms license, I wanted smething to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the .303 British cartridge.
I wrote to Ruger asking if they would do a run of their No 3 rifles in .303B. They wrote back to say that they weren't interested. Well, I tried.
I later found out that, at that time, noone in the US made a .303 barrel and Ruger wasn't making its own barrels.
At this time, I have a .303 blank and No 1 rifle sitting patiently at my 'smiths waiting for the union to happen. I also have a NIB Redfield Palma sight looking for a good home.
Patience, grasshopper, patience.
