Iclimb, I was told the work was done by High Tech Customs in Colorado. Other than the cosmetics (custom stock, case hardening) it had the trigger replaced with a Moyes trigger. I still haven't been able to make it out shooting yet  ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/d0N2q60w/No1-rt.jpg)

I got this back just in time for deer season. Barrel is from McGowen, the smith reworked the action and recessed the safety. I used a classic deer chambering, the 300 Savage. I took a doe with it last week and will be out with it during our second season. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/Kzppk2R1/IMG-1200.jpg) uncommon unique girl namesNow THAT'S what I'm talkin' 'bout!

I like it! What barrel contour did you use and how does it balance? I have done some mods to the No. 1 chambered for the 6.5x57R and the 25Krag.
I have the 257R in a 1A and really like it and the performance.

There is no accounting for taste.
Experience is a great thing as long as one survives it.
Generally, there ain't a lot that separates the two however,
Barely making it is a whole lot more satisfying than barely not making it.

I honestly don't know what the barrel contour is. The balance and feel reminds me of a British light game gun if it was a shotgun. Weight is just shy of 8 lbs with the scope. It drives tacks with 150gr Accubonds. This is the third #1 project I've had done. The other two are a 7MM-08 and a 300 H&H

I bought this wood, thinking I would use it for an 1886...but this thread has me thinking it needs to go on a No 1. Probably the 1S that is currently at SSK becoming a 375 Flanged Magnum N. E. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/ubb/download/Number/214142/filename/IMG_1601.jpg)

ok i got a very nice 257 Roberts Ruger #1 for grandson last year and this January 2023 i purchased another nice 257 Roberts Ruger#1 for myself ,i will be 70 by deer season so its time to start shooting less recoil at least part of the season. if you don`t have a Ruger #1 standard or custom your missing out with all the fun . my grandson i let him decide what kind of a rifle he wanted to hunt deer with he tried a AR-15 and shot that well but seemed to complicated for him , bolt rifle seem accurate but complicated too ,then 10 yr.old grandson tried a Ruger #1 and with a big smile said he liked the Ruger #1 much more. the Ruger #1 was easy to load for him , grandson liked the safety too,plus he shot that rifle well too.

Dunno why, but for some reason my first attempt didn't work. Here is one of the most accurate Ruger#1's I have ever shot, an all out custom for F/O match shooting . Nine of these were built , ( I have ownede three )in 6mmBR, 308, and 6.5/284, a collaboration between three great Canadians, Ed Begg, Paul Reibin, and Mick PcPhee. Sadly all have since passed to quieter ranges Kepplinger triggers, CNC aluminum forends with integral 20 MOA rails bedded right to the barrels, and Paul's butt stock on them. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/SrdMkwK.jpg)
scopes are cool, but slings 'n' irons RULE!
