anyone shoot a ruger number 1 RSI int. ?
im trying to get my hands on a ruger number 1 international 30-06. my father has both the m77 and number 1 international models but his no.1 is a semi custom (douglas standard match barrel, bedded forearm, peep sights). how well do the factory rugers shoot? ive heard some very good accuracy reports and some not so good. i dont expect this rifle to shoot long range, maybe only 175 yards as im going to start it out with irons. but id still like a good shooter if im going to drop $1230 (canadian)

Iv'e got a number one 45-70 and another in .204 Ruger. Finally got the time and weather last weekend to really fine tune the .204 and I'm totally satisfied with the way it shoots. I'm still having some extraction problems with it, but the accuracy is very good. One ragged hole in the bull at 50 and keeping them all in the bull at 100. The 45-70 works perfectly, but i did have a local gunsmith cut an inch and a quarter off the butt and install a decellerator pad. Haven't had the chance yet to sight it in with the Burris, but it did well at 50 with the iron sights. Even though Iv'e got a new CZ in 30-06, I'm still seriously considering getting the #1 in 06 with the full length stock. I,d say go for it------John
