Winchester 1885 vs Ruger No. 1

Like many to reply here, I am a single shot fan. I have a few falling blocks. I’m a fan of the 78s, the Browning BPCR, 85,#1,#3 and some martinis. I don’t think you can go wrong if you have any one that shoots. I am reducing # of guns but it’s hard selling my singles. Enjoy!

I also reduced, and refocused. Put my $$ into a couple better rifles that are more focused on my “needs”.
 
I have owned both the Winchester 1885 and the Ruger #1, I have had the accuracy highs and lows of both, I would much rather hunt with a Ruger #1,the Ruger #1 is more collectable because of the wide range of different calibers and configuration of different styles.safety system on the Ruger is superior too. both types of guns are very special and are just great to own. the 1885 Winchester is more old time look some may like that,i like the racer look of the Ruger with no hammer. but to each there own both are great guns
 
I've owned both the 1885 and B78. Although the #1 is a beautiful and well made firearm, I much prefer an external hammer so that I can de-#### it rather than relying on a safety. External hammers for me. And you are correct Ellko, it's a matter of personal preference and all are nice guns. :)
