My new Ruger No.1 in .475 Linebaugh showed up on friday (Thanks
Prophet River!), and today I found a minty Weaver 2.5 K series scope
at a small local gun show for 60 bucks. I think this will be an ideal
combination for the kind of shooting I enjoy around here.
I've owned Ruger No.3's in the past, but never a No.1(Dumbass me!)
Lets see what you folks have out there in these great rifles.
Stock or custom, bring 'em on.

Ruger #1 Varminter. Beautiful rifle, including the walnut which is not so visible here, some beautiful figure. Picked it up for $600 a decade or so ago. .204 Ruger call, thought the tiny bullet would do less fur damage. Wrong. Hit broadside it blew softball sized exit holes and worse. (This big maurauding dog was shot chest-on.) I never thought a bullet smaller than a .22 could be overkill, but it very much was. Disgusting little round. But a beautiful rifle, loved that part! Pure class! View attachment 915147
