ruger no 1 rechamber

[Johnn Peterson]

Either leave it as is or sell it and buy what you want.

I kinda think that rifle in 30-30 is cool. A bit of checkering would really finish it off nicely.

Agreed. Good call.

 

[Mount Sweetness]

Nice Bear!!
Wow!

 

[SHELL SHUCKER]

That rifle is beauty. I would definitely keep 'er in 30-30 and work up an accurate load using Barnes new 190 gr JSP bullet. At the range ye took the bear,
I have confidence the 30-30 would do the job just fine.

Awesome... great when it works out... try the LVR powder with the 150 NBT, it was a great load in my No.1-A .30-30.

I have a #1A 30-30 it loves LVR behind the 170 Hornady FP.

Rechambered to 300h&h?
That would be my pick.
Not sure what twist rate your barrel is, but if it would work, that is what I would be running, classy gun in a super classy cartridge.

^^^ That's what I would do as long as the barrel is long enough. I'd want at least 24"

Not worth it. Just sell it to me and buy what you really want

Couldn't believe it took this many replies to come up with this, the most obvious solution. Seriously, what a beauty.

Would be a crying shame to see that rifle rechambered from .30-30 in my eyes, she’s a cutie. Hunted a few grizzlies myself, in a single shot rifle you’re not going to make yourself any safer rechambering it to .308. The fact she’s a .30-30 makes her a little sweetheart and in the No.1 the gloves are off the .30-30, can stoke it properly and no need to stay with flat point or round nose bullets. You’d be rechambering for no reason is my honest opinion, if you want a different rifle, buy it.

Hey hoyt what kind of velocity are you getting with this load?It keeps coming up you can push the 30-30 in the no 1 but how much ?

30-30 ACKLEY IMPROVED ! Barnes 190 gr-ers ! RJ

You can go to a quality bulleti in the 30-30 but case capacity will still limit your FPS possibly throating it out a bit and using a 165 gr bullet would help a bit . If you could grt s 165 gr bullet at 2550-2600 FPS that would work on a grizzly

 

[struff55]

Very nice rifle some nice checking would complete the package

 

[209jones]

300 H&H would be OK, or the 30R Blaser (7.62x68R), which is about like a 30-06AI, or about like the 300H&H Rimmed.

 

[Slimbo]

Too much gun for such a slim little package. 30-40 Krag at the most

 

[medvedqc]

very classic shot with the blanket as well. keep it in 30-30 ... pretty sure in your neck of wood a few elders got sucess with that caliber and grizzly even if i will use bigger caliber for the time we can ...
