No. 1 Anniversary

[Air-cooled]

I own several Ruger guns, mostly carbines, and have even sold off a few, but I've never owned a No. 1. I see they recently released a No.1 75th Anniversary in 270 caliber. I love the looks of the No. 1, I love the engineering of the action, I love the high-end walnut stock, and I love the .270 cartridge. No. 1 rifles appear so accurate, but owners report otherwise. So I resist going after one of these at a MSRP of $7500. Could this one be engineered to a higher standard and be more accurate. Maybe some of the folks here who know their No. 1 rifles can tell me why one would pay that for a rifle that so many say is not accurate?

No, I doubt if engineered to a higher standard when Ruger doesn't say so within the specifications on their webpage.
Wondering if they put a high MSRP on it to somehow give them the false sense that people will think this model is more collectible. I don't believe that is the way to make something collectible. The people have to want it first.

Most ALL of the "Special editions, Commemorative, Anniversary, Limited, etc.",,, always seem to be over priced and underwhelming.

It sure seems, Over time one can make a heck of a buy.

I agree with chet15's thought's & comments.

That $7500 No.1 is not what you want, unless you mostly want a show piece.

My only No.1 is a 1H Tropical in .375 H&H bought new in 1998. It is reasonably accurate - strange that I've shot it only standing at 100 yards, though.

For accuracy, word on the street is that accuracy can be improved by ensuring there is no pressure on the barrel by the fore-end stock... I'm sure others here can elaborate beyond my feeble explanation.

There have been many accurate No.1's in great calibers like .270, 7x57, etc.
