Ruger No 1 for sale

Q: Are Ruger No. 1 still made?

Ruger No. 1 production appears to be ending, with key distributors selling off the last remaining inventory. New rifles are still available while supplies last, typically retailing around $1,400–$1,500, and used examples remain widely available through secondary markets.

Q: Are Ruger No. 1 accurate?

Ruger No. 1 rifles vary considerably in accuracy. Some shoot exceptionally well out of the box; others require handload development or forend pressure adjustments to perform consistently. The single-shot falling-block action is inherently strong, but individual rifles differ enough that results are unpredictable until tested.

Q: What calibers does a Ruger No. 1 come in?

Ruger No. 1 rifles have been chambered in approximately 67 calibers since 1967. Common options include 204 Ruger, 22 Hornet, 223 Rem, 22-250 Rem, 220 Swift, 243 Win, 308 Win, 30-06, 375 H&H, and 45-70. Current availability varies by model variant.

Q: Is the Ruger No. 1 a good hunting rifle?

The Ruger No. 1 is a well-regarded hunting rifle known for accuracy and a wide caliber selection. Its single-shot design encourages careful shooting. Some rifles require tuning for best accuracy. Current retail price is approximately $1,445.

Q: What is the best rifle scope for a Ruger No 1?

Scope choice depends on your No. 1's caliber and intended use. The Leupold VX-3i 2.5-8x36mm is a popular option. Most important consideration is eye relief — the No. 1's recoil and receiver design require scopes with generous eye relief and correct ring height to prevent scope bite.

Q: What are the different versions of the Ruger No. 1?

Ruger No. 1 rifles come in four original models: the 1-A Light Sporter with 22-inch barrel and Alexander Henry forearm, the 1-B Standard with medium barrel, the 1-S Medium Sporter, and the 1-RSI International with 20-inch Mannlicher-style forearm. Limited edition and distributor exclusive variants also exist.

Q: What is the difference between Ruger No. 1 and No. 3?

The No. 3 was a budget alternative to the No. 1, sharing the same single-shot falling-block action but with a shorter 22" barrel versus the No. 1's 26", a barrel-band forearm attachment, no checkering, plain wood, basic iron sights, and less polished metalwork. No. 3 production has ended.

Q: When was the Ruger No. 1 made?

Ruger began manufacturing the No. 1 in 1967, initially offering three variations. Over its production run, the rifle was chambered in numerous calibers and became a popular single-shot hunting rifle among collectors and hunters.
