Ruger no1 chambered in 450/400 3" nitro express. This rifle is in excellent condition and has a Leupold vx- freedom 1.5-4x20 optic with duplex reticle. The original box is included with the manual. Near mint. Hardly shot, like new. Bought for upcoming safari, but going a different route since all I am hunting for is plains game this trip. Excellent buffalo rifle! Comes with 60 rounds of Factory Hornady DGS 400gr Solids. 50+ once fired Hornady brass, 50 count Factory Hornady DGS 400gr bullets AND Hornady lightly used die set with shell holder. Priced for quick sale to fund another rifle. $2,750 firm. FREE SHIPPING to lower 48 only.

Do you happen to know what weight or contour barrel is on this rifle? Most were C weight barrels, but a few were D weight.
 
Good deal on this rifle package, with ammo components and dies.

These are hard to find these days, and with this deal, no probelms.

That is a nice rifle with nice wood

I have the same gun, with the "D" weight barrel and want nothing less.
Mine weighs 9.5 pound/ w/o scope and sling about 10 .5 pounds with.

These rifles handle very well for the chambering. I have a Leupold 4x on mine.

Just aim and shoot.

Good luck with your sale.
 
Thank you. Yes sir. Recoil not an issue due to the extra weight. Love it and hate to sell but have my eye on a great deal on a double.
 
The #1s are my favorite rifles. This one is a beautiful example of what Ruger once built.
 
On the Lipseys site they list a model 11385
At the top of the page the description says it has a 24" "D" barrel , at the bottom of the page it says it is a 24" barrel ?

They also list a model 11324 , that has a 24" " C " barrel

This is a heavy D. Rifle weighs over 9.5lbs.

Not familiar on how lipseys catalogs their firearms.

Just wanted to say thanks for the excellent customer service. Ordered some 9.3x62 brass and the delivery was a little short. An email through your website Contact Us link was replied to the next day with the tracking info for the correction. Good pricing coupled with great customer service will see returning customers every time. Thanks again!

X5i scope is perfect - thanks for an easy transaction! Buy with confidence.
Made it to Augusta Georgia yesterday for a meeting, hunt bookings are looking good for 2026 and 2027, had a great time on our Alabama safari shot a rutting deer at 200 yards with 7mm PRC near Huntsville and then headed on to Butler Alabama and semi guided my first deer ever shot a very nice broken off 8 point with hunter there and spend a few days on 1100 acres hunting preserve awesome place!

I am righthanded, so not interested in the rifle, but I have a 375 RUM and 350 gr bullet loading data is very hard to come by. If you could reply with information regarding your loads I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Ray Boone, Leavenworth, WA
