Default RE: Ruger #1 users....likes and dislikes?

Currently I have 4 but will likely add at least ne, maybe two more by year end. I've yet to find any negative aspects to this classic rifle. Many cry about the one shot...yaeh, how many ya need? if one can't take a single well placed shot for a humane kill, they sholdn't be in the woods hunting. No needf for the spray and pray mentality or simply hoping the first shot will hit in a spot so that a blodd trail is likely. Make the one shot count!
Two of mine, I've yet to shoot but the other 2 are both quite accurate for my purposes. The .22-250 will keep a quartser at 100yrds and the .45-70 will hit it's mark (minute of deer) at the same distance. If the .30-06 shoots well it'll stayas is, otherwise it's becomeing a .300 H&H. The 4th is a .405 Winchester. All blued/walnut. want to add a RSI in 7x57 and liekly the upcoming K1_ in .250 savage in a few months. After those, proberly one in 257 Roberts and .243.
