I'm selling this Ruger No. 1 450/400 3" Nitro Express with a Leupold VX-2 2-7X scope. $2700.00, includes shipping to your FFL If you do not want the scope I will deduct $300. In original box.

This is one of 32 that were made with the Heavy "D" contour barrel. Also included are a set of Hornady Custom reloading dies, brass and bullets. I used to compete in a Ruger No.1 postal shoot and and needed a .40 Cal. or larger for Class "D." It has had about 100 mild target loads and about 24 medium power loads through it. My shoulder would not take full power loads. It has never been hunted and only shot from a benchrest. My local FFL charges $100 to ship it to your FFL. The forearm has one minor handling mark.

I can send more pictures if you are interested. I will only accept USPS money orders or certified bank checks.

The following is a list of the reloading components that it comes with.
Hornady Custom dies with sheelholder
Brass
40 New Hornady cases
38 Once fired Hornady cases
19 Hornady Cases that were reloaded 5 times
Bullets
One box of 100 Trueshot 265 Gr. hard cast gas checked .410 dia. bullets, plus 19 that were pulled from loaded ammo. These were my target loads.
41 Hornady Interlock 300 gr. SP #41051
50 Hornady Interlock 300 Gr. FP #41050
50 Hornady DGX 400 Gr. #4104
35 Barnes TSX Triple-Shock copper 300 Gr. I had these loaded and used an inertia puller to pull them.

I pulled the one on the left. 5 shots at 100 yds. I had an 6-18X scope on it then.
