    Very cool 1-B story

    If those are original vertical split scope rings I've heard they are worth a small fortune. They only put them on the first year of production.

    Ruger No.1V in 6.5-284 Norma are shipping

    I saw a new .222 1A @ Dominion Outdoors the other day and the wood was great looking. The price ($1299) was the only reason I handed back to the clerk. It also had checkering on the forearm like their special edition ones for their 50'th anny and the 30-06 100'th anny. Got the impression they...

    Help with 218Bee

    I assume you're having the barrel made for a #1. The ammo made for it has to cover the lever action Winchesters so the are loaded with the blunt 46gr bullets. However, if you reload you can get a 35(Hornady)-36(Barnes Var Grenade)gr up over 3000 fps with a little H110 or Lil Gun behind them. My...

    What made you a Ruger rifle fan?

    Thanks, I'd forgotten about those "puffs" as you call them. One high speed drill, center of mass.

    What made you a Ruger rifle fan?

    Used to road hunt woodchucks, crows, and such with my father. Had an M77 in a 22-250 with the light barrel. Thing was a laser. I remember one time there was a crow at about 200yds sitting on the top of a leafless winter tree. I held on his neck expecting an inch or so drop. When I touched it off...

    Fastest rimfire in the universe!

    An assortment of Winchester, Hornady, and Remington. Not an assortment of Winchesters. The only FTF was the Winchesters. He settled on the Hornadys. They've yet to FTF.

    Fastest rimfire in the universe!

    A friend I shoot with bought an assortment of 17HMR rounds to try in his new Savage to see which it preferred. The Winchesters had an unbelievable amount of fail to fires. I'd estimate it to be at least 30% of all he tried. Disappointing to say the least. I used to use nothing but Winchester...

    Need advice on a #1 groups

    What he said. Sometimes making a rubber washer out of automotive vacuum hose and putting it between the forearm screw head and forearm helps. Sometimes not.

    #1 question A B V S ???

    Also there is no vaccine. Just treatments administered at gunshop checkout counters. Treatments last for varying amounts of time directly based on wallets and wives.

    No. 1V market/availability

    The "V" models are my favorite. I have a 220Swift, .204Ruger, 300WinMag, and 7MM Mag. Tried to find a 1V 6.5 Creedmoor last Aug but they had all dried up. Had to settle for a Ruger M77 Target in the Creedmoor. That thing's a nail driver.
