Anyone own a Ruger Number 1 in SS
Anyone own one of these. I know where one exists that is chambered in 7 STW and the price is almost too good to pass up. I am guessing it will go thru the BWWK transaction process. I figure for the price if it is shot out or a non shooter that I can rebarrel it to anything and probably even go with a 28" barrel since it will still have a reasonable overall length.

What is the benefit/appeal to a single shot rifle?
I don't need a 5 shot clip, but a few shots/bolt is nice, I mean I just like to have 1 or 2 rounds ready to go, esp if it were for dangerous game, though even for non dangerous.
Ruger #1, are a step up in wood grade etc...right? I wish they would make their other rifles with a higher grade option as well....

Their latest rifles have very average wood although the occasional specimen gets by. They used to sell their Safari rifles that had Circassian walnut. Industry wide trend.

Own for #1's but all blued/wlanut. just get no excitementabout the stainless models. Such a classic design really should have the clasic look of ncie blued steel and nice warm walnut. I can see the benefit if one was continually to use the rifle in wet/imclement weather but otherwise...
All that aid, I likely will buy the upcoming ss/walnut in .250 Savage just because of it's chambering.

That's the next one on the "buy list". I like the 1A's, and I'm hunting a .243 with extra nice wood. I just don't think the stainless versions are as purty. Good luck tho. The #1's are definately the cats meow.

When is this #1 coming out? Will it be chambered in other offerings?
