Whimper, Snivel, Must Resist......

So after a buying spree this baby shows up...... AAAAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH

I bought the Wife a damn fine car for her birthday so that justifies things right? Have to think..... 2.7K is getting up there for a No #1 but.. You'll all recognize the photos from my favourite enabler.

Somebody strike first and put me out of my misery.

What the heck, I had no idea on the actual timeline lineage of the #1.

2.7 K furr a Rewgarr?
Gift yer head ahhhhhhhhh shake.

Nostalgic about replacing the one I had as a kid but I hear you on the $$$$. Going to console myself with a Dlask build in lieu.....

I dug into it (Google!)
50 yrs for Ruger between 1949-99. 50 yrs for the number one 1967-2017.

A beautiful rifle, but a lot of dough.

Have a fine drink of your best and admire the beauty of a fine rifle

No one can judge you if that’s your passion.

Speaking of less common Ruger No. 1 rifles...

Accuracy Plus in P'boro has a used/excellent No. 1 in .450-.400 Nitro Express. $1500.

Not to derail the thread here, and I do like Rugers, but what is the attraction or use/practicality of a single shot centre fire rifle? Aside from the fact that they sure look nice...

It's just not a passion of his. We all be different.

I hunted extensively with a Ruger #1 I built in 7mm-300Wby with a 28" barrel. The whole rifle came in about the same length as a 23" barreled bolt gun. I never felt limited by hunting with a "one shooter".........."to each his own", I certainly can't talk as I own several customs and semi customs as well as a double, which makes $2700 look to be bargain basement, entry level dollars.............

It sure is a pretty li'l thang though..........

There's a Ruger No.1 in .458 in my safe at the moment. Its my neighbors, but it came to visit so I could figure what it was and attempt to value it. Gonna have to put it on the EE for him one of these days.

 

[Slamfire]

It's a beauty!

Cool rifles, I sure like the ones I have. But no mention of caliber? Or maybe that doesn't really matter because yours isn't for shooting?

 

[weasel1]

If you see it on the website, its a .308.

 

[Slamfire]

Right, the classic American chambering. Or .30-30 would have been nice being a flanged round. Not that it really matters.
