i maybe trading for one of these rifles, is it banned or going to be banned? i tried the searching for info but getting nothing but BS!
 
Not banned yet. They would have been banned under the c21 amendments but those were pulled. It sounds like they're looking to reintroduce those, but worded better so as to only ban the calibers that are capable of >10k joules.

Long story short, they're currently legal but nobody knows what the future might hold.
 
Not banned! So go ahead a get one! They are truly great classic hunting rifles! I had four of them over the years sold my last one 2 days ago!
 
AlbertaJohn - unless they have changed drastically in past 20 odd years, consider them like a very high end girl friend - they look UBER COOL and at least used to take much fussing to perform - was a lot written in 1990's and later about various ways to improve how they shot - some worked - some did not - is "special", I think, to get one that shoots like a decent bolt action rifle - and this is from having owned a 1A in 7x57 for at least 15 years - multiple dozen white tail and mule deer taken with it, but not so sure that a Ruger No. 1 would be my first choice for an all out long range "gopher getter" (Richardson Ground Squirrel).

It should not happen, but I have acquaintance that had very good results with external hammer B78 Browning or old school Winchester falling block - so some can shoot well and some can not.

I never had a Ruger single shot I could not make shoot except fir my first one in 1980, I ended up rebarreling that one ! LOL
I have had dozens since , some match. Rifle, some hunters , loved them all.
My current goto hunting rifle since 2010 is a ruger single(#3) that has taken over 30 animals. The only difference between the #1 and #3 actions is the lever. The wood is different on the #3 as well.

I guess I must have been just lucky. Bought my first Ruger No1 new in the mid 80's (.338) and it shoots <1/2" groups at 100 yards all day long (78.8 gr of IMR7828, 225 Hornadys, .010 freebore, 2888 FPS muzzle). My second one (7mm rem) I did not own long enough to work up a load and don't recall how it shot with factory ammo, sold it because my .338 does everything the 7mm does only better. My third, a heavy barrel 22-250 I would shoot 300 yard gophers all day long off a bipod. Of topic but I also have an browning high wall (1885) in .270 Gibbs that shoots deadly straight, however, the load that provides pin point accuracy also flattens the primers (a bit on the "warm" side). I would` like to work uo a new load that achieves the same accuracy with a "bit" less pressure. Not a huge sample but 100% success.
