Ruger #1 Gunsmith Recommendations (in U.S.)?

[Tony Parisi]

Greetings! I'm considering having some work done on one of my Ruger #1 rifles and was wondering if anyone had a U.S. -based rifle-smith they could recommend; perhaps someone who specializes in the Ruger #1. Many Thanks!

Thanks! Anyone else? Looking mainly for accuracy work, trigger jobs, rebarreling/rechambering, restocking, etc.

By that it sounds like you don't like the Ruger No.1 very well.

Did you just purchase a action and need the rest?

Don't try and find anyone to help you on the accuracy of a #1, they are quite finicky in what they like to shoot and how you do it. I have a number of them and just a slight turn of the for-end screw will throw the accuracy off quite a bit. But once you have found the load and the screw tension you will have a fantastic shooting rifle.

Two of my #1's will shoot sub moa at 400 yards all day long. But it took me a long time to get them there.
