Ruger 1's are great guns (if you favor single shots). Some shoot extraordinarily well out of the box...some need some tweaking. Triggers may need to be lightened up or replaced with aftermarket units (Moyer's, Kepplinger, etc) but that's your choice. Read thru some Ruger #1 specific sites such as the single shot section at 24 hr. campfire. The different configs are interesting...1-A, 1-B, 1-S, Tropical, International, 1-V. Very nitche oriented. I personally like the 1-S config. Scoping may be challenging and either long tubed, long ER scopes or extension type rings are often used. Good luck.
