RE: Ruger No. 1b (weight issue)
Well Pyral, being that the 1A is chambered in 270,7x57 and 30-06 you can have it rechambered to any caliber you want . it would be a simple rechambering and extractor job . My personal favorite is the 1-S but have not run across any but if I do it's my next single shot . I own a 1b in 280 now.
