They might have one already, but not the kind that any of us want, especially not the No. 1 junkies. There doesn't need to be a 250 minimum batch run, particularly if you just want a production quality rifle in a unique caliber or configuration.
For example, 1-B in 375 Ruger. 26" barrel no sights. That's it, everything else can be standard.
The custom shop could make a killing on individual orders. Customers would receive a NIB rifle with the warranty, and we wouldn't have to hunt down donor rifles, parts, and then pay a gunsmith to whack it all together. It wouldn't take Ruger much to figure out what the going rate is for various services like rechambering, rebarreling, adding sights, etc. They could just charge a competitive rate for the same services, but in the end offer the customer a new factory rifle made to customer spec.
Kind of like Weatherby build your own rifle deal on their website.
Oh, and I'm serious about that 1-B in 375 Ruger. Make it stainless and laminated too!
