Gents,
I've discovered a small number of Ruger #1 for sale here. A fellow is having to liquidate to keep the house- heard that story before???
Anyway, being the kind of "gun tinkerer" that I am, I'm certainly considering one or more of them.
There's a 375H&H mag-
There's a 30-06
There's a 243Win
Three's a 22-250 Heavy Barrel Varminter
There's one more, something like a 300WinMag, that didn't even get my attention.
Seriously considering the 243, at a VERY fair price, as the buttstock needs attention due to some serious cosmetic dings, but it's a nice piece of wood worth saving.
Also considering the 22-250 as it is also Very well priced.
Question to you guys-- the plan is to take the #1, ship it to Jesse in Oregon (JES) for reboring to either 358Win or 35Whelen.
The 243 makes a no-brainer conversion to 358Win easy. Got it- Same story with the '06 becoming a Whelen-
What do you think about using the 22-250 to make a heavy barrel 358 or 35Whelen? A bit heavy for a carry-thru-the-woods hunting rifle?
Should I be considering the 375H&H more as a cast boolit shooter?????
Help me before I buy too many of them!!!! Please!
