Officially, no. However, in the same vein as Der Ami's friend, I call this a 'No. 2': No. 3 action, No. 1 butt, forearm and 26" barrel. BTW, the chickadee is a good friend.

Is there such a thing as a Ruger #2? LOL However does beg the question.... Maybe it was discontinued before it got started

That's exactly what I am wondering. But didn't the #3 predate the #1? I'm not a ruger fan so I don't know much about them. However, I've always wondered about the #2.

1967 #1 1973 to 1986 #3
I lusted for one in 1969, but then went to Vietnam and when I return in 72 I bought my first. My thoughts soured shortly there after.

I also found it annoying that cases marked the top of the comb on ejection on the 270 I bought and sold forty to fifty years ago and only recently have I bought my second one which has come from the estate sale of a fellow shooter at the shooting club I belong to. This one has a heavy barrel with no sights and blocks for mounting the leupold 6.5x20 and is chambered for the 6 mm PPC When I first took it to the range to fire it off a bench rest it wouldn't fire and I thought to myself something wrong here but no, just a heavy trigger which I am not used to. Unlike my first No1 this one shoots ok despite the heavy trigger. Also the ejected cases do not come back and mark the comb. Just as far as the safety. Another thing I find unusual is that there are no markings on the rifle to say who the maker is. The photo on the previous post shows a fantastic looking rifle,

Dennis, I love the profile of that stock - specifically from below, of all things. I imagine it has an almost delicate feel to it.

IMHO that is about as nice a rifle as you can make out of a Ruger #1 action.
