Least desirable No 1

[43north]

Least desirable: the gun you can't find a use for. My example of which:
At one time I installed a high dollar, low power scope on a #1H in .416 Rigby for a client.
Bore sighted. Took 2 shots @ 50 yds for correction, one more at 100 for further fine-tuning, two more to make the point.
Shoving it back in his hands, (he appeared a bit panicked/reluctant) along with the 15 remaining Federal cartridges, I went to the chiropractor, and she removed the PAST pad from my body.
"Anything that brutal" is on my list of undesirable.

I've always felt the #1 deserved the unusual cartridges more than just "production".
The 6mm Rem and .243 Win, or .257 Robt. and .250 Savage in a #1A are sweet combinations. Despite the high popularity of the .243 Win., as it's just that pleasant of a gun. The .220 Swift, and the .280 Remington in a #1B just seemed "right".

What I'd like to see?
Likely a #1S: .348 Win (mentioned above) the old .38-55 Ballard.
In #1s or 1B: 7x64mm.
300 Savage, 7mm-08, and... a .357Max in a #1A.

I have noticed the Ruger No.1 in 7mm Rem Mag don't seem to sell well. Great caliber IMO but not a big seller.I have 1 stainless Ruger no.1 in 25/06. When the weather bad it's what I hunt with.

Here in CA I've noticed that 7mm Rem Mag doesn't sell well in SoCal but it does in NorCal.

I like the stainless/laminated guns and the stainless/walnut ones also. I prefer the 1A's or 1S guns myself, but the "B"'s don't do much for me

How about a 1AB in 338 Ruger? Or a 1B in 22 hornet?

Okay, I am going to revise my opinion:

How about a 1S in 300winmag with a 22" barrel? :lol:

It seems like around here any Number One in a 30-06 is a tough sell. But I love 'em, so I've got a couple of them really reasonable.

Anything in a caliber over .375 H&H.

No way! The 458 Lott is monster that is still a hoot to shoot.

Of the ones I have owned the 1-KB in 243 was it. Too dang heavy for what it was. Had itbeen a 35 Whelen or a 338 win mag, no biggie, but I can do the same thing with 2 less pounds with my 700 CDL.

I have a 1AB in 30.06 that is just screaming to be made into a 338 Federal with a real butt pad. I do like that round for a late evening, DRT, maker and 1B is getting heavier every year. But I can't decide what would be the best, low power, low light, affordable scope for the 1AB?
