    I would love to see some pictures of the #3 with the #1 stock.
    Here is my Ruger #2. It's chambered in 6.8mm with a 22" Shilen med weight barrel. The factory forend was easy to find. The factory butt stock was impossible to find, so I bought a semi-fit & finished it myself. Ruger would not sell #1` stocks.

    According to his website; JES rebores start at a minimum of .338”.
    He will be swamped with work if he has started offering. 30,.31,&.32 caliber rebores.

    There was a #3 in 22 Hornet at the show in Doolittle, Mo this past weekend. The seller wanted a little less than a grand for it. Had it been a #1 I would have had a lot more interest. There was also a 77-22 in the Hornet but it was stutzen stocked. Ruger, and all the other American makers, have never learned how to make something other than war club or a fence post for a forearm on a stutzen stocked rifle. They are an abomination to my eye.

    The #3's were always a bit weird for me in fit since I am tall, feels like a toy. I do like .22 Hornet and #1's so I was able to get one of those many years ago. Full sized rifle so I like it and it shoots well with 40 gr. VMAX's.

    In the pic below you can see it with one of my .22 Hornet Anschutz's(mod 1433 on a 54 action).


    Not sure if Sharps4590 approves of that one?

    I found a #3 with a messed up Hornet barrel, guy shot a well with it and left the water splash in it. So I bought it for the action, then found a new, take off #3 Hornet barrel, then put them together to make an as new #3 Hornet.

    I still have the messed up Hornet barrel that could be redone. Might be worth considering a 357 Max or Super Mag #3. They make a nice little rifle with 180 or 200 gr cast. I have two Martini rifles in 357 SM.
