Do you already have an idea about pricing in Canada?
Thanks, Christian

Question out of the blue: do you know whether anyone has talked to Ruger about making a 40-65 / 45-70 No1 with a 30" heavy bbl?

I'm talking BPCR rifle.

We are taking orders now at 1499 and 1579 for the RSI. People that place them are 'locked in' , of course. Ruger only put up the cost $26.00 this year so , not bad, after increasing by $200.00 last year. However, margins are tight on #1's and with us now paying 1.24 for a dollar these could retail at 1600 this year.

They are beyond my budget but still it's good to see the 6.5x55mm selected for the RSI this year. It seems very appropriate.

You realize of course, that the No.1 is not legal for sanctioned BPCR matches - at least it wasn't for as long as I was shooting long range black powder stuff.
It was a real sticking point for me for years, because an original Farquarson is legal, but the Ruger is not.

No, not sure if this idea has ever been taken to Ruger/Lipseys about this or not. Jason Cloessner is the person in charge of the special runs at Lipseys.

I found an "email the CEO" link on the Ruger site. Mike Fifer got back to me and said that demand would be too limited for them to do it.

I suppose Lipseys might be able to get it done, if they thought they could sell whatever quantity they had to order.
