ruger no1 in 22 hornet?????

[laudy]

have a chance to bid on an upcoming auction. it is listed as a ruger no1 in 22hornet. Have not had a chance to view this as yet. Did ruger actually make a no 1 in a 22 hornet or is this a modified version of a no 1? thanks in advance

I know they made the #3 in .2 Hornet and I have a #1 in 218 Bee. Not sure about the #1 in the Hornet tho.

Pretty sure they did. I seem to remember seeing a dealer at a show in San Antonio years ago, who had several on his table, new in the boxes.

No.1 hornets have been made by Ruger in the medium sporter and light sporter types.

Yes I had a #1b in 22 hornet and mine was a great shooter wish I still had it.

I saw one in a local gun shop about four years ago. It was part of a private collection of about a dozen #1's. If I remember correctly, the asking price was $900 in like new condition.

As others have indicated, they made the #3 in 22 Hornet and they made the 1B as a catalogued item as well. The uncatalogued 1A special run from the late 1980's is the rarest and most valuable. I am lucky enough to have all three.

I had a #1a in 22 hornet. Sold it way too cheap. Few made I found out later. Should have sold the Bee instead of the Hornet!!

I own a Ruger 1B in 22 Hornet and still have it with the original box. I bought it new some years ago, so I can assure you Ruger did make a #1 in 22 Hornet. I've heard several times that it is a rather rare chambering for the #1's but never tried to verify it since I'm not planning on selling mine.

Have the 22 Hornet and the 218 Bee NIB, so yes they did make them!!
