Low serial number Ruger #1

[twriggen]

To say it's been a long hard-fought year at work in 2025 would probably be the understatement of the decade. Between ever changing company policies, and new operating systems that don't work, to dealing with the ramifications of tariffs all I can say is I will be happy to see 2025 in the rear-view mirror. When I come home after another rough week out on the road Taryn likes to remind me that without this job I wouldn't be able to buy all of my Rugers. This week was one of those weeks that I was reminded why I put up with everything as this beauty was sitting down at the FFL waiting for me to pick it up.

Bring on 2026 as I have a bunch of Rugers still on my need list.........................

Pretty sure Taryn shoots a 300 win mag, Troy doesn't like the recoil

She actually likes the 45/70. When we were dating, I brought my Marlin 1895 over for her dad to see and she wanted to shoot it. She pulled the trigger on (3) 400 grain rounds at 1900 fps loads in a row. I was both turned on and scared.......................

That’s awesome. When my new bride grabbed my Garand, and she had never shot a long arm, and started slinging lead in a very impressive group at 100 yards, I was spooked.
None of us guys wanna be beat, but we sure as hell are overjoyed when we have a girl that can shoot.

Nice #1 also …

Ahh, the things we do for our beloved Rugers.

That dirty little 4-letter word, that ends in "k" (you know,, the kind of words momma taught us not to use) causes us joy & grief.

NICE score Troy!
