I bought number 6 Ruger No1 yesterday, an almost new in box 45-70, 1993 manufacture and fired 5 rounds on one trip to the range, then stored since.
Once I've picked it up it will get a strip down and internal clean and lube and a Leupold VX3 1.75x-6x fitted. I think (Know) I have a problem!!!
Cheers,

Congrats @Kiwifire111

There has been some discussion about the possibility of a No. 1 event at WBB this year ;)

A good problem though!

It seems like RJ Renner worked on this rifle. Not sure if it’s worth the asking price. Beautiful rifle.
You would be paying full price for both the rifle and the Renner package at that price, but if that was what someone thinking to do anyway, it would save the wait to have work done.....

Yoh! That is a handsome rifle.

I'm trying hard not to contact the seller for some more pics ... as doing so would make me a pesky, time wasting tyre-kicker.

:ROFLMAO:
 
I picked my new No1 on Friday, 45-70, 1992 manufacture and fired 5 rounds only! No 6 in the No1 collection.
Better pics tomorrow!!
Well done Mal.

What's the plan for No 7?

;)
 
So we see 30 pics of a beautiful but overpriced custom No. 1 that shouldn’t exceed $2K on its best day. And yet no bids nor offers. Surprised? :rolleyes:
I would agree that its priced a bit high but only a bit. That rifle $2000 would be seriously undervalued. It is a beautiful piece of work on a classic rifle!
 
No.1s prices are out of control for production rifles.

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)

2,822fps, ES 8.2
This compares favorably to 7 Rem Mag. with less powder & recoil.
