It’s unbelievable how light and agile these rifles are. The 22” barrel seems so short.

wondered if anyone would show that one, one of the best looking #1's I've seen.
@Burdy might be able to comment on the particulars of his rifle..
Thanks @SpeedyR
That is in fact an EGW base, although it did require some machining to fit, perhaps a difference in older #1's vs newer ones. With that being said, the base has done fine so far and I've had zero accuracy issues. These #1's aren't known to be particularly consistent, but I got extraordinarily lucky with mine and it was a hammer right out of the box. I did change out to an LPVO with a flip top turret and I love the setup. (You can click for full size image)
Great looking setup you have me looking for a blued one now !Thanks @SpeedyR

Well, that one is actually cerakoted. I had it done in the same color/hardness ratio as the suppressor.
That was one of my bucket list guns since I owned a Liberty Model and had to sell it. Finally got another.
I think they feel lighter than they are. When I finally weighed my .243 RSI after owning it for 30+ years, I was surprised at the number.

I think they just balance and point really well and it makes them feel lighter than they are. Even my tropical model in 450-400NE feels nice and not overly heavy.
Mine sure does.
But yes, it does feel easier to carry than say a bolt rifle of the same weight.

That`s Beautiful! I hope it shoots as nice as it looks Deets!
My wife just picked up a real nice highly figured walnut stocked one in 223 with the heavy barrel. Can`t wait for warmer weather to see how her`s shoots.
Started right, worked it over to center. Then last two shots went high and higher. So she’s cooling off now.
No it's not. Put the forend on a bag. You are dealing with a rifle that will always have it's stock in contact with the barrel and you need to remove any inconsistencies in barrel to forend pressure.
Not the best picture. Ruger No.1V in 220 Swift rebarreled by the late Robert Gradous and finished a few months before he passed away. Kreiger 4 groove 26" 1-12 barrel. Scoipe mounts made by D'Arcy Echols. Kepplinger set trigger and Hicks Accurizer glass bedded in forend.
You guys are killing me. I have to break out my No1. It's one of my favorite rifles that I don't shoot much. I really don't have a much use for a 300 win mag here in upstate NY. I have other rifles to hunt with. Deer aren't that hard to kill, I usually hunt with my Rem 700 MTN rifle in 7x57, I also like the handiness of my Ruger 77 RSI in 308. This year there was a new addition to the collection. I built a 6mm-250 on a Zermatt Origin action in a Bell Carlson stock. Not much around here requires (my opinion) a magnum cartridge.
I've taken it to a couple gun shows in the past to try and trade for another No1 with sights of a more usable (to me) cartridge. I was thinking of a rebarrel, but it just sits in the back of the safe ready to pounce one day.

The 357Max loaded long for a single shot is the perfect round for deer.
It's much easier to shoot than a 45-70.
My scoped 357max 10" Contender shot 4" 5-shot groups at 200m back in the Ihmsa days, last century.

With the kind of people who buy No.1's, they might be better off in .357Max.

I like that one a lot!!

I live in Illinois and have been taking deer for 30 years with my Ithaca Deerslayer 12 gauge. That being said when I heard that Illinois was allowing straight wall cartridges I decided to go the budget route. I just ordered a single shot CVA Scout in 44 magnum, my shots are 150 yards max and in. I should be receiving it this week, I researched it extensively and it seems like it should do the job.
