Just to give an idea what we have here. No. 1 S is the medium rifle with 24" barrel that measures .675" at the muzzle, so a good size. All other features same as any S stock wise.
Stock on this one is fairly attractive, no figure on most late No.1's and no exception here, but the color is nice, straight with some fiddleback in the buttstock and forearm color is a good match as well.
LOP with the added Pachy Decelerator pad is 14 & 3/8ths inches. Its a good length for me, and pad was done properly.
I mounted a Nikon 3-9x40 that came off another rifle just sold, but this scope has been a good one and should work well here, had to use an extender ring in the back so it could come back far enough so I dont have to stretch my recently whiplashed neck so far! Yep, got rear ended on the 4th of July! About 95 percent normal now but was pretty sore for a few days.
Weight with scope is an even 9#.
Headspace looks good, lacking any gauges, I inked some shoulders of some factory rounds and I can see they touch it inside. Somehow over the years I have amassed a fair amount of factory fodder in this caliber, having mostly Rem, probably 8 boxes, 4 boxes of Hornady Superformance, and one box of Federal with 225 gr Trophy Bonded bullets in nickel cases, still a full box, hate to shoot them!
I know I posted one pic here earlier but here is a couple more.
