RE: Ruger No. 1
I've owned several of them over the years. The biggest thing i hated about them was how heavy they are... That may not bother you but it always did me... They always were on the expensive side too.
To fix the problem Roskoe mentioned, you have to "glass" the tang to the forearm and then free float the forearmfrom the bbl... I've done a few of them in the past that way. I can say i've had more that "didn't" need it than did...
