I have been having the strongest urge to get the rifle I have always wanted but have always found reasons to not get. I have always told myself that I need more than a single shot even though I have never needed more than one in the field. I always loved the wood with bluing and the classic looks but as I look at the guns in the cabinet, they all have synthetic stocks, and matte finishes. I always said they cost to much, but in reality they are only $150-$200 more than a quality bolt gun. Now the question, what is the truth about the Ruger No 1? I do not know anyone who has one. I have read that they are hit and miss on accuracy. I have heard that the trigger is horrible and must be adjusted by smith. I have read that bedding the forend can greatly improve accuracy if you get a gun that is not a "shooter". Who out there has one? What caliber? How does it shoot and handle? Have you had any or have you done any work to it? What are the true pros and cons to this gun? Thanks in advance for any info positive or negative.
