Hornady is coming out with new manufactured .348 ammunition. That means .348 proof loads have been made(well, more than likely). Given that Hornady and Ruger have worked together before could this be an opening to the vaunted .348 No.1? Maybe???

crash87--glad to see another 348 fan! And I agree--Blued/Walnut 1S 23 inch barrel. I think I would ride the storm out with that one--and even send in payment up front to reserve one!

I opine the No. 1 is not the right rifle for a woods-stompin hunting rifle, as the 348W would likely be used for... If a $1500+ safe queen is the objective, not larger sales, then fine. It IS a fine consideration for a No. 3 re-issue! :shock: **crickets at Ruger** :cry:

Uberti made a top-quality 1885 in 348W, so they're out there in practical trim, so they are out there in hunting single shots. Ruger is at best, late to the party. No surprise.

I respectfully disagree, I think a .348 No.1 is the perfect woods stompin' rifle, and there would be no qualms whatsoever about using it (yes, they cost more than the average gun) on my part. $1500+ hardly qualifies it as a safe queen. YMMV
