    Who hunts with a Ruger No. 1?

    Likes? Dislikes?

    How accurate are they?

    I do and I love it. .300 WM with a Leupold VX3 3.5-10x50. Shoots sub 1/2" with Winchester large game. Didn't plan on keeping this gun when I got it, but you couldn't get it away from me now. Holds amazingly well, beautiful, and a fine shooter. Took this buck with it this last season while hunting with my dad.

      I had a .300 Win Mag, a .280 Rem., and a 25/06. Still have the 25/06, and with my handloads, it's a shooter. The .300 was too, with Hornady heavy magnum ammo. The .280 never shot really well with any factory load I tried. Never tried to load for it, and now regret selling it. A .280 Rem has always been my favorite cartridge. Great guns !

      I should add that there is an accurizing block of some kind that is installed in the forearm that's available for them.

        I have one in .450/.400. Absolutely love it. It will kill everything from pigs to Cape buffalo. Very accurate and quick to reload with a little practice.

                To your questions, love em. Plenty accurate for hunting (1-1.5") The newer models have better triggers. I also like how compact they are. Great truck/blind guns.

                  I have a switch barrel #1 Ruger in 416 Rigby and 300 Kong. It's a hammer with either barrel.

                    I sold every high end Bolt action I had because my $450 Hawkeye All-Weather works so darn good. Figure that will carry me to the casket.

                      I do and absolutely love it. Got it for my 18th Birthday 32 years ago and use it.

                            The #1 is a falling block single shot
                            Great that the bolt action Hawkeye is working for you.

                              I do. It's my favorite deer rifle for the hill country.
                              6mm No.1B
                              Cuts one ragged hole with my 80gr hand loads. Zapps deer like a bolt of lightening.
