input on Ruger #1 B
I have a chance to buy a #1 B in o6 for a great price.Used but 100% beautiful wood 425.00
Have hunted with many bolt guns and currently my baby is a mint 336 in 35 Rem
Got an idea to use the # 1 for Montana deer/elk
Can I get some feed back regarding the gun /accuracy /pros and cons for Western hunting would be appreciated

Run, don't walk, and buy it. NOW.
Re: input on Ruger #1 B
Definitely buy at that price. If you don't like it, you should be able to easily sell it for a profit.

Great gun, don't miss it.

Re: input on Ruger #1 B
You better buy that right now!!!
Call on the phone tell them you want it NOW!!!
That is a STEAL!!! Those guns are deadly accurate/reliable as heck/
and will always be worth more than what you paid!!
Grab it now!!
I have one in 7mm mag but with the new Hornady 150gr SST@ 3100fps
basically that 06 is a 7mm as performance wise.
You can handload that gun to the very max and it will hold up.
Those droping blocks are fantastic,If you dont want it let me know and I will buy it.

Get it now! I've had three; a 1V in 7mm Remington Magnum, a 1A, and a 1RSI, both in 7mm Mauser. They are GREAT rifles.madman4570 wrote:You better buy that right now!!!

Re: input on Ruger #1 B
silverbuzzard,
Great move!! I am happy for you.
You know that #1 will toss a 190gr Matchking
out the tube at 2900fps
She might kick a little, but it should reach way out there and touch somthing if need be.
And with the Pro Hunter Bullet you can take anything in North America.
Have fun you lucky guy.

Re: input on Ruger #1 B
In the past I HAD a #1B in 22-250 , a #1V in 220 an 25-06 and a #1H in 375 H&H MAG .
Now I have another #1V in 220 Swift , a #1V in 22-250AI , a #1B in 22 Hornet , a #1B in 243 WIN , a #1B in 257 Roberts and a #1B in 280 REM/ 7mm Express Remington . And am looking hard at a #1B in 6mm REM as we speak !
So need I even say what I think

Re: input on Ruger #1 B
I understand some #1's can be finicky at times. Are there any tips that have been shown effective in accurizing them?
Thanks,
John

Re: input on Ruger #1 B
OK ! Pics today when I figure out how to post here.. What a beautiful firearm. Trigger seems about 3 or 4 pounds and breaks like glass. Has the red recoil pad so I assume it is an early one.
Looks to be Turkish walnut it is so "grained"
Thanks to all for input . I know little of these guns and valued the knowledge you guys shared.

Re: input on Ruger #1 B

Can I email the pics to someone and then you guys try to load?

Re: input on Ruger #1 B
Awesome rifle --- glad you got it at that price ---- (and how come i cant ever get any "good deals" --- i rarely get ripped off, but i hardly ever get rifles for $300 under their value like you just did )silverbuzzard wrote:ya, have heard that you can load em to max

.270 has been proven to be a fine elk rifle many times, --- but i am with ya for Grizz. However -- much as i like the #1 Ruger, i would want follow up shot capability for those big bruins. This neing a levergun site, i would wholeheartedly recommend a Marlin 1895 or equiv. Winchester in any of their calibers(.444, ,450, .45-70) , or an 1895 Winnie in .405

Re: input on Ruger #1 B
Ya, with ya on second shot too except for one thing. I hunt with my buddy of 30 years and I figure I will make that one shot count and shoot him in the butt or leg so I can slow him down enough for the bear to catch.!
Was going to use the marlin 336 in 35 Rem for the close in huntin and use the #1 in the open country out there.

Sweet score ------------ i think your single shot should be safe in the gun grabbing New World Order, but if you have a Glock or a 1911, be prepared to bury
