Ruger No.1V in 6.5-284 Norma are shipping

[El Numero Uno]

I received one of these today directly from Newport for a local writer for "Testing & Evaluation". It does have a 26" barrel. Hope to see more in the future.

Oh NO!!! ;-)

ENU,

That must be the only 26" 1V that Ruger has made. Is the contour straight our from the 22" point or does it taper slightly. Sounds like a fine "gong-ringer" way out there but might just be over my comfortable carry weight. I have carried my 25-06 1V a time or two to some evening ambush spots but would not like to hump it all day.

So, I'm still looking for a 1B Creedmore with nice wood.

The .220 Swift in the V has a 26" barrel also; not recalling any other V's with that length barrel.

That would be a good one!! I have a Lipsey .264 & am sure pleased with it.

"V"s with 26" barrels. 204 Ruger KV Laminated/Stainless (the only "V" available in 204) 220 Swift, 6.5 Creedmore and now 6,5 284 blued/walnut. The standard "V" is 24" long and is just over 3/4' in diameter at the muzzle the 26" barrels just carries the same taper two inches further and are about 11/16 at the muzzle. (I don't have a mike here in the house). I have a semi custom 257 Roberts with a 28" Shilen barrel on the factory profile/taper and it's just over 9/16 at the muzzle.

One of the easiest ways to see the contour difference is to install a "V" forearm on a standard "B" rifle and see where and how much the gaps appear.

The "V" barrel starts tapering at about 2 3/8" from the receiver ring and tapers in a pretty constant taper to the muzzle. The "B" or standard weight barrel is untapered for about 1 3/4 inches from the recievr ring then tapers rapidly for 3 inches or so then tapers to the muzzle where it is 9/16-5/8" at the muzzle.

I received a 264 Win Mag from the factory last August (2012) in BH walnut/blued AH forearm and REALLY like it.

 

[Nomosendero]

Yea, that's the same 264 I have.

I sure wouldn't mind getting a 6.5x284 Varmit, esp. considering how well my .264 shoots!

I saw a new .222 1A @ Dominion Outdoors the other day and the wood was great looking. The price ($1299) was the only reason I handed back to the clerk. It also had checkering on the forearm like their special edition ones for their 50'th anny and the 30-06 100'th anny. Got the impression they were putting more into these single year models. Does the 1V have additional checkering also?

 

[METLHED57]

?

 

[El Numero Uno]

If your ? was about the additional checkering on the 1V in 6.5-284; no- it had standard checkering. seems like the 1A's in .222 may have had the extra checkering on some- I had a couple that did- most were standard.

 

[METLHED57]

Thank you sir

"V"s with 26" barrels. 204 Ruger KV Laminated/Stainless (the only "V" available in 204)

Looks like this is the one I need to finish my No1 collection - or at least hit a plateau.
