My safe is already full of #1s in custom stalking rifles in 6,8 SPCII, 257 Roberts AI, 6.5x55, 7mm-08 and 280 REM AI; a 300 H&H in a 1S; 1Bs in 338-06, 338 Federal, and 9.3 x62; 41 Mag; and a .35 Whelen 1S -- none of which left the Ruger factory as they are now. With my disinterest in varmint and dinosaur calibers, it is hard to imagine any new #1 offering from Ruger that would have me reaching for my checkbook.
I have even turned to a bolt gun based on an FN Mauser action as my latest project gun due to the slim range of desirable #1 options.
The only factory #1 I lusted over and failed to find was a 6.5 Creedmore 1V in handsome wood.
And, of course, it should be clear to all that begging Ruger to make #1s to my specs has never worked.
