No.: 1

What a sweet rifle. Have one in .257 Roberts in the standard stock.

Enjoy it!

Looks like the one I used to have. One of the few sales I regret making.
It loved Sierra 85 BTHP and 4350.

The rifle in the OP likes 100 gr Federal Power Shok soft points

the groups with 80 gr. are 3 to 4 inches

How much does the rifle weigh? Love the Ruger no. 1, but they tend to be a heavier rifle.

My No.1 Varmint variant, chambered in .220 Swift, is the most accurate rifle I've ever owned-and owned more than a few . And, yes, a No.1 in this configuration is a mite heavy.
I love the looks and handling of RSI No.1 rifles and the great accuracy of Bushmaster1313's specimen is icing on the cake.

Oh my!!!

Bushmaster....that is a very sweet, svelte and classy looking rig......very nice indeed, and I am more than a bit jealous.......good for you.

The No1's with Mannlicher style forearm have a certain look that appeals to me, and yours is topped with a small bell scope, which looks very Euro and old school as well, and just right on the rifle. I wouldn't change it a bit. So too, I applaud your caliber, that will be a very mild shooting rig, and nice and tidy to tote about as well.

What load/ammo has produced that 3 shot group?????

Very nice!

I was at the range one day and there was a guy that had half a dozen Ruger 1s with him. He was working on collecting one in each caliber. I was a bit jealous.

My #1 is not nearly that accurate. I guess it is accurate enough considering it is a .416 Rigby.

 

[SaxonPig]

Nice. I really like the RSI style.

I have a thing for #1s.

The #1 isn't intended as a benchrest rifle, they are hunting rifles so pinpoint accuracy isn't a high priority. I find that mine shoot well enough.

The 243 @ 100 yards...

The 458 @ 50...
