For Sale: Ruger No.1 in 45-70Govt.
This iconic rifle is in excellent condition. It has unusually well-figured wood and has been looked after.
The Ruger No.1 is a short, strong action; I found this ideal as a nimble woods rifle. The strength of the action is such that heavy loads can be used, if desired or required (Barnes list a 250gr load that even meets Scottish minimum velocity requirements.) It has had a rather easy life with me, shooting heavy, slow, cast lead boolits (which kill well, surprise surprise) and some jacketed 300gr HPs.
This rifle is a joy to own and use; there is something satisfying about it.
I am selling it with Ruger 25mm/1inch Scope rings (scope etc. in pictures not included.)
The rifle is now at Keen’s Tackle and Gun, near the M4, close to Bridgend, S Wales.
I’m asking for £575 (RFD fees extra, if transfer needed.)
Advertised for sale elsewhere.
