I have one #1 in the Tropical version in 405 Win. I too always liked the looks of the #1. Mine is the stainless/laminate. Looks sharp, shoots great but on the downside, it is a tad heavy in this version. Probably more than one would want to tote all day up and down mtn sides chasing elk. And as for the one shot, I've carried bolts, pumps and levers in the woods with extra mags/ammo and in almost 45 years, with all the deer, antelope, bear etc I've shot, I can probably count on one hand the number of times I needed a second shot. And never where I wouldn't have had the time to reload the #1. If you desire the #1 - go get it.
