New chamberings in the Ruger No.1
- Thread starter 1899
- Start date
First Prophet River is getting the .275 Rigby's and now you hit with me with this....? You're evil 1899! How am I ever going to give a home to a nice new Tavor at this rate? Ugh...Life can be soooo complicated at times.....
Its not as bad as it first appears...
The .275 Rigby renders the .257 Bob and the .280 Rem pointless... So you only need one other... With the "Rig & Wag" you've got all the bases covered...
I found just the opposite.... my 257 Roberts rendered my 280s and my 7X57 pointless so I got rid of them and never looked back.
To each their own....

Love those long European cartridges. A buddy says they're like "ladyfingers" (whatever that means ... I didn't ask !)
I'd love to have No.1's in a 9.3x74 Tropical & a 6x70 in a Varmint !
I have my 257 bob on order from EPPS,told they have only ordered 3 shot show specials,RSI #1 WILL BE SWEET IN THIS CAL.I love my single shots,do most of my hunting with one.It will be my new deer gun,already stocking up on 120 gr.noslers and 110 accubonds and also my favorite 100 ttsx from Barnes.I also have had a rsi #1,in 7x57 never should of sold, and a 243,and 3006.Just love the way they handle.

After owning and shooting a bunch of No.1's and No.3's, I still prefer the Martini action over the Ruger.
A nicely built rifle on this action just looks & feels right to me and is generally more accurate, gun-for-gun
due to the stocking set-up and faster locktime of the Martini-Henry action.
Though it's best suited as a rimmed cartridge action is no worry as there are more than enough rimmed cartridges to choose from which will do the job as well as most any rimless designs.
I wish someone like Miroku or Uberti would remake these in traditional chamberings as well as some modern ones. Put me down for one in .25-35 Win. & another in .375 Win.
I shoulda grabbed a .22 Hornet No.1 or 3 back in the day...Those puppies would be fun.

Da bears? .. Hmm, well .. the last 2 that came into my yard I scared off by just making a loud noise.
And if I wanted to shoot one, I've got a few rifles in the safe that will do that job nicely .. but ..
but iffn I do shoot one, what then? ... apparently taxidermists charge $100's ($1000's ?) to make a rug outa one .. soo .. *shrugs and "bites tongue" *
