My other #1 is a little more "rare". They chambered a few #1V models in 7 mm Rem. Mag. and I ordered one many years ago. It's heavy, with the bull barrel, but it is a shooting machine. It is the only rifle I ever owned that will put every bullet weight from 110 gr. through about 170 gr. into the same group. All were hand loads, but it puts several different weight bullets to the same POI.

My 200th Year in 7mm Mag benefited from free floating the forend except for upward pressure at the tip. With 160 grain Speer Mag Tips and H870 it would put 4 in 1.5 inches at 200 yards. It was sensitive to load to .2 grains and to seating depth by .020.

Vall, the article you link to here is TWO YEARS OLD! I can quote a lot newer stuff too! It's just a myth, and not happening. I sometimes wonder if this stuff gets started by distributors to generate a frenzy of sales and orders. Both the VP of Ruger, (Christopher Killoy) and Lipsey's, the only distributor for the Ruger #1 have put this latest rumor to rest. They said they will be dropping some calibers that sold poorly, but also adding calibers that have been requested often. But production is NOT ending.

One of those "worst modern single shot" #10 This one a .257R 1/2 minute shooter. And a second rate #3 sidelever conversion that has killed 17 head of big game including kudu and gemsbuck both one shot kills.

Steven, A gun that does not eject the case without having to turn it upside down or have significant work done to the action to make it eject (I do believe you yourself commented on this issue in your 1999 book, page 85 and 88) I would consider "worst". Don Allen and I discussed this short coming when I tested some of his initial rifles at a SCI event here in Minnesota where he was demonstrating his rifles. I do not believe he ever fixed the issue.
This discussion I believe is about factory guns and not highly customized rifles.

My old #3 .45-70 might not have taken 400 head of deer and hogs, but it came close. Yours looks real purty, but I think I actually would prefer the underlever. SRH

Ejection on a non-break-open rifle only serves to ding the comb nose with the cases, I've only done one Hagn with an ejector and will not do another, flings the cases right into the comb. Tipping the muzzle up when activating the extractor works fine, for the most part. I agree, the sidelever does not provide as positive extraction as I would like, but it sure is cool for my .30-40 Krag. One of three. Anyone can buy an underlever, eh? My African hunt: Five animals... "400 head of deer and hogs" just sounds like boasting, who could count that high?. Did you carve a notch in the stock for each? [/IMG][/URL]

On the #1 and 3s, you can make them extract or eject; I have all mine set to extract. I agree with Steve, in that regard. I had a friend that put #1 stocks on all his #3s, and called them #13s. Actually, they looked nice. He is another one that has "passed", I'm starting to think it is dangerous to be my friend. Mike
