Standard
Varminter
Medium Sporter
Tropical

I know very little about the No. 1. I do know that I love it, and am trying to learn as much as I can. That is why I posted this question here, the volume of knowledge is outstanding, with so much first hand expierence.
Thanks again for the info.

The .45-70 is available currently only as the 1S; in blue/walnut and stainless/laminate.
As previously noted, some .45-70 1H's exist, but you could count all of them on your fingers and one foot. They were made in 1976(about) and would be considered quite rare.
At least one .45-70 rifle with a beavertail forearm, sights and 22" medium weight was made. It sold on the Ruger Auction a few years ago. check out this Link:

If you don't have a copy of the Ruger No.1 book by J. D. Clayton, that is where you should first.

+1 what El Numero Uno says. (He is the No.1 guru!) I would also add that the No.1-S in 45-70 has a 22" barrel. The No.1-H has a 24" barrel. Both have the Alex Henry forend.

It is described and pictured in the Clayton Ruger No.1 book.
that is as close as I can get!
You do have a book, don't you??
I guess we should not forget about the Lyman Centennial configuration in .45-70. It had a 28" barrel in what I think was a "D" weight.

Dave,
There is another No.3 .45-70; generally under 1000 serial#(130-51XXX or less) they are not tapped for scope blocks.
