I missed that 250, by the time I found it on the exchange it was sold.
She was a beauty, but alas Africa beckoned again and promises were made to head office...
My one & only....
Just snapped some pics of this older one I picked up locally, last summer.
It came from an estate. I topped 'er with a Leupold 6-18x40mmAO:
While it's my one & only thus far, I doubt that will last long.... Especially, if I keep looking at Prophet's ads....

I have a 450/400NE in a 1H. Also have one that is heavily modified into a Schuetzen rifle. 28" RKS heavy octagon, set up with a Redfield frt aperture sight and an AJ Parker rear peep, and a Canjar set trigger, chambered in 32-30 Rem. Both shoot quite nicely. Had a 22-250 1V years ago, killed plenty of gophers with it.
Apparently I can't post pics though.

Well I thought that I would reserrect an old thread. I purchased my first Ruger #1 about two months ago and finally got out to the range. I conducted load development by firing 21 rounds. Found that the gun (300 H&H) just loves 76.5 grains of Reloder 25, 165 grain Nosler Ballistic tips, Federal 215M primers. Towards the end of the load development I started to suffer from flinchitis. Son of a gun, I have to have a decelerator pad installed because this baby kicks! It's just as punishable as my 300 Weatherby. Still going to the range to prove integrity of this load and that it wasen't just a fluke on my part.

I recently bought this No.1 Standard rifle in .223 from the good folks at Ellwood Epps. It is topped with a Nikon Buckmasters 4.5X 14 x 40 SF.I find myself fondling it every chance I get.

Nice Ruger#1 you have there track!
I've found that most of these rifles are stocked to give the shooter a proper cheek weld
using iron sights. Adding a scope forces the shooter to raise his/her head a bit off of
the stock which can lead to a more pronounced sensation of recoil.
The worst kicking Ruger I used to own was a No.3 with the carbine stock in 45-70.
OUCH! My No.3 in 30-40 Krag was a bruiser as well when fed warm loads with
180-220 gr. bullets. I'm sure you're onto a solid load with your 300 H&H, fluke
or not. That load should pop a ground hog like a grape!
I lightened up your pic to show the wood better.
Enjoy the beasty,cause it's a good 'un.

Ruger hasn't made a #1 in just about a year now.
Too busy on other lines they tell me. Only a few cal's listed this year.
We normally stock over 100 and might be hard pressed to count a dozen right now.

Sad, but true. Ruger is crankin' out Mini-14's and auto pistols as well as 10-22's
along with M77 & American rifles and the Americans are snapping them up like crazy thanks
to Obama's gun policies. Add the border slowdown and you end up with a big shortage of
products making it up our way. That goes for most American made guns and ammo as
well.

That is one fine looking gem! We don't have one in 243. Had a 6mm yrs ago. I would imagine that it would be absolutely senceless for me to ask if you'd sell it!
Picked this one up today in 300 H&H:
Not overly long for a 26" barrel. I really like it. I plan on using 200 grain Accubonds. Just a classy rifle in a classy cartridge.
I'm at a loss as to what scope to toss on it. I have a spare Nikon Buckmaster that will work for load development, but I'm thinking of saving for a Leica or S&B. I do like my Conquest though, may just go that route.
Oh and if anyone is looking for a RSI in .30-06 Prophet River has one with spectacular wood, for some reason it's not on their website or EE page though.
I'll update this post with some better pictures of my own. I've had the rifle for almost a year now, the one day I took it out last fall I didn't connect with the buck I wanted, so all it has taken is one coyote. I ended up putting on a FX 6x36mm and use 200 grain accubonds above 71 grains of H4831.
I don't find the recoil too bad, the 200 grainers are more of a heavy push than a sharp kick.
Here is one of Mine. Custom Stainless 45-70 16 twist .
Shoots cast nicely!!!
Awesome! Who did you get to do the work for you?

I deleted my original pic of my Leeper-built 303when cleaning up my photobucket, so I'll put it up here again.
