Lucked up on a NEW Ruger #1B at a local Gander Mountain the other day !
This one is in the no longer chambered 338 WIN MAG !
Rifle is new but they have lost the box and the rings !
They also had the rifle on "Clearance Sale" at about $275 below WHOLESALE if they were still making the 338 WIN MAG !
Anyway for $275 I can get another set of rings and forget about the box !
This thing will also make a nice 2010 Xmas present for my pop since he likes #1's quite a bit !

They ARE beautiful guns,that's for sure!
The .30/06 Springfield,the ULTIMATE cartridge combat,hunting and target cartridge,a .45 single action and a good FLINTLOCK is all I need to be happy!
Sounds like a great find. Congratulations!

A #1 at $275? who cares about the rings?
Experience is the source of all knowledge.
No not at $275 !Originally Posted by Mumblypeg
The cost is $275 BELOW what dealer cost is for a new rifle !
Or about $500 !
So with the rings I ordered yesterday from our distributers I'll have about $575 in the gun with the new rings !

The caliber designation on the barrel !

The wood on this rifle is nothing to get overly excited about !
However it does have a slight amount of figure on this one side !

On a lesser note , while I was at Gander Mountain picking this one up my buddy who owns the gunsmith shop called me and told me we had a nice USED Riger #1H in 458 WIN MAG coming in that he thought I could get for about the same price as this !
So you can imagine my answer when he said "are you intrested" ?

Plus one on that ! I don't think I've ever seen an ugly one . If you are attracted to them ya oughta buy one for every day of the weekThey ARE beautiful guns,that's for sure!

looks like it has real nice wood!
That's how to start the year off right!
Old enough to know better, young enough to do it anyway!
Men who don't understand women fall into two categories: bachelors and husbands!
We have 4 or 5 others that make the wood in that one look plain !
I also have an extra set of wood that looks a bit better ! I just might switch the stocks and forends this week .

Great price on a great caliber. I fell in love with a Ruger #1 in 450-400 down at a local dealer. I can't touch it for what you lucked into on price. I haven't got a practical (sorry about the "P" word) reason to have one but have allways wanted a #1 and the 450-400 is way up on the cool scale. I could play with .41 mag pistol bullets all the way up to 400grain elephant stompers. Don't have many elephants here in Oregon but you never can be too prepared. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
I can relate !
For Xmas 2009 I gave my father a really nice #1H in 416 REM MAG ! Now he doesn't shoot them he just sorta collects . And this 416 has a piece of wood that willl literally knock your eye out in my somewhat biased opinion !
I also gave him a #1B for fathers day in 270 Weatherby with another killer piece of wood !
In a weak moment Xmas day 2009 I gave him a second rifle I had set aside to give him this upcoming fathers day . That was another #1B in 300 Weatherby and this one also has a better then usual piece of wood !
Anyway after I look over the #1H in 458 and make a decision I think next on the leist are older 1B's in 25-06 , 7mm REM MAG and 300 WIN MAG . Also wanna get a nice older 1A in 7x57 and possibly a nice 1B in 204 Ruger !
We already have a nice 1V in 22-250AI that was rebarreled with a Lilja barrel ao I have seriouse thoughts of finding a old beater 30-06 or 270 1B and making a 6.5-06 out of it !

Hope my daughter finds a nice boy like you!!
Heck, I wonder if 6pt-sika will let me adopt him?!!!
6pt-sika,
I saw that one probably a month ago. I'm surprised it lasted that long. I was very tempted, but the caliber just want't one that I want. I was a great buy. Enjoy.
They told me they had that rifle ever since the store opened a couple years ago !
And somehow they had "misplaced" the box with the rings inside

On somewhat of a side note !
I have a Ruger #1H in 458 WIN MAG coming wednesday from another dealer we do buisness with !
Also just picked up a like new set of RCBS 458 dies ! 40 pieces of new 458 brass as well as another 40 or so rounds of handloaded 458 ammo . And last but not least a bunch of Speer 400 grain bullets and half a box of Hornady 500 grain soft points !
And got that all for the measley sum of $100 !
Oh yeah the dies and brass for the 338 WIN MAG arrived friday !
Gonna load up some stuff for the 338 WIN MAG and 300 Weatherby tommorrow !
Then tuesday afternoon another friend and I are going to the range !
Gonna shoot my pops 1B in 270 Weatherby , my pops 1H in 416 REM MAG , his 1B in 300 Weatherby and this 1B in 338 WIN MAG I've not given him yet !
