Great looking collection.
If you are going to make a hole in something. MAKE IT A BIG ONE!
While not Ruger #1s....I am a bit of a collector of things some might find obscure. The late/post Civil War era BPCRs fascinate me. I'm inspired by your post, and particularly your level of organization. I have that to work on.....so I may someday do the same for my kids/grands/etc. As passionate about them as I am.....I am equally unorganized.

I love Ruger No 1's although I only have one and it's a 218 Bee. I got it right after they announced the chambering was about to be cancelled. I'd love to have as many as you do!! They have an elegance that few rifles can match. I dream of having a 7x57 or 300 H&H especially. Your 303 British and heavy barrel 22-250 make me drool too.
I recently had an opportunity to pick up a Number 1 in 600 JDJ. Was a sweet rifle (artillery piece?) but I just couldn't think of anything I was that mad at...

Nice collection!
I just inherited a Ruger #1 chambered in 375 H&H Magnum and know nothing about it or what's stock and what's custom. I would love it if you could look over the pics and tell me the good and bad about the rifle...

I hope your collection will be appreciated in its new home. Great looking rifles.

Thank you for posting.
Paper targets aren't your friends. They won't lie for you and they don't care if your feelings get hurt.
Walking around with a bucket to drool in, wow what a beautiful sight! I will take the 45-70 and you can barrow it any time you like.
Your long lost cousin here.
I’d like the .250 Savage one please.
Thanks Cuz!

One out of control garage sale.....That is what Forrest G "Jim" Tilton said to me, when he dropped by while I was setting up my OM SA Ruger 3 table display in my garage for the first time.
Very nice group of #1s

BUT, I do have one Ruger No 1, mine is 9.3 x74r.
.286 gr cast boolit 20.0 gr of herco.
Nice bunch of No 1's for sure. A serious No 1 collector friend of mine could give you all kinds of details on them. (He's over in Central Texas.)
Idaho45Guy there are a lot of minor details where the differences in the No 1's are concerned. I have a Ruger Reference Guide,, and the No 1's still confuse me. The first & best thing you could do is contact Ruger, request a letter on your gun, and the $10 spent will be a perfect starting place for correct info on your gun. It looks really nice too! A $10 letter can enhance the value much more than you'd think.
Idaho45guy, that is a beautiful No 1. I'm no expert and all of mine are shooter grade. Your's looks a step or two above. The metal appears to be a matte finish in the pics. Is it? Mine is gloss. Your caliber markings are different from mine. Mine says 375 H&H MAG. You may have an aftermarket barrel. But Ruger is know for doing things different from time to time. A letter from ruger is probably warranted for your rifle.
The 375 H&H is one my favorite whitetail guns with a cast and pc'd 250 grain moving around 1500.
