The #1's are very accurate and have very stong receivers. I only own one which was a Ruger's Gold Label Dealers special deal. It's a S/S w/ a green laminated stock in 45/70.I got it used from a guy who bought it strickly to work up loads for it and the 45/70.I was there when UPS delivered it.Before trading for it I shot it a few times. @100 yards the shots were low but were just about touching.He was knocking the x ring out.With a little practice you can reload quickly. I would recommend the #1 if you want a single shot.I don't think you'll fine a better one.
