For Sale is a very beautiful and accurate Ruger No. 1 in .22 BR. The barrel is a 26" Shilen stainless select-match in light-varmint contour. The chamber has a .246" interior neck diameter so cartridge necks must be outside turned. However, you won't have to do any neck turning for a long time because the rifle will include 395 rounds of prepared Lapua brass, of which 355 are loaded Berger 40 gr. varmint bullets and Benchmark powder. This load will produce groups of less than .5". The trigger is a Kiplinger single-set, which will break at 6.5 ounces when in the set mode. The action has a Moulds Speed Lock Hammer and spring to improve lock time. The action is blued, and the lever, scope bases, and safety are color case hardened.
The rifle includes a Unertl 15 power Ultra Varmint scope. The scope features two horizontal cross wires that are spaced six minutes apart. The bluing on the scope is about 90%. The scope was sent to Parsons Scope Service for cleaning and adjustment. The view through the scope is clear and bright.
The butt stock is factory issue, and has been refinished and the checkering recut. The forend is custom. It is 2 ¼" wide and has a wrap-around checkering pattern and an ebony tip.
Included with the rifle is a Redding full-length die and Wilson neck sizing and bullet seating dies. It also includes a bore guide for use in cleaning the barrel. The rifle was featured in an article in the July 2007 issue of Precision Shooting Magazine, a copy of which will be furnished upon request. This article includes extensive load data.
This rifle is in excellent condition. The metal has no obvious blemishes. The wood has a few very small handling marks, with one small (1/4") scratch in the forend checkering. A recent check of the bore with a borescope showed that it is in excellent shape – the throat and leade show only light wear and the rifling is sharp. This rifle promises to provide many years of accurate shooting.
Price for this rifle is $3500.00. The buyer will pay the actual cost of shipping and insurance.
