- Lee Newton of Classic Sporting Arms talks classic Ruger No. 1 rifles with our own Jason Cloessner. If you're a fan of the platform or simply enjoy vintage rifle stories, this one's for you.
Lee is a treasure in our community.
I was in Big Timber Montana in the late 80’s and saw a Ruger number 3 action that had been made into a Sharps style buffalo rifle . It was amazing and one of a kind .
Great content. Love hearing about the history of this rifle. More please.
So want one. Dream rifle. So nice.
Great video. I’ve always wanted a Ruger Number 1 in 280 Remington with a 24” barrel.
That's on my wish list as well! Does it exist? BTW, I'm just across the state(s) line in Eagar, AZ and stomp in NM quite a bit for elk sheds.
@@UnderSprayedWhiteSkies They do exist but are hard to find and very spendy. Best of luck on your shed hunts.
Bring the number 3 back in the small calibers
22 hornet 218 Bee 17 hornet etc
Octagon barrels and tang sights would neet
Not everybody has access to long ranges where You shoot the big sharps
Mr. Newton is THE No 1 expert. I own a .44 Magnum medium sporter and love it.
I really like the Ruger #1 rifles.
Superb video! Thanks.
I have a .35 Whelen in a Lipseys #1 and I have a #3 in .223. I like the action of the #3 more than the #1. The latch on the #1 if not careful can unlatch when you are carrying the rifle and unload the rifle. The #3 even without a latching lever will never do that. The #1 international model I had before the Lipseys had the same problem.
Carry it with a strap or carry it by the back of the foreign near it the trigger and you won't pop it open by accident Carry it over your shoulder holding the bottom of the stock and it won't pop open. I don't think that's really a problem it's just a problem the way you carry it.
I just got a No. 1 made in 77, chambered in 300 win mag.
In 260 Remington I have a Browning 1885 Low Wall. More finesse than many Ruger No.1 rifles though I have many of those as well. My first 35 years ago was a 7mm Rem Mag Ruger No. 1 with a medium weight barrel.
Bring back the #3,, it should never been discontinued,, bring em back in 22 hornet,, 25-20,, 32-20,, 38-40
Sorry, but there’s no market for such obscure calibers. Ruger needs to focus on making guns that actually sell.
I have one of your 257 weatherby magnum with a 28 inch barrel ruger no.1
How do you like it in 257 weatherby mag?
My grandpa gave his ruger number one to me I like it
Please have Ruger do a run in 6.5x54mm Mannlicher-Schoenauer
Bring back the ruger 77 and no1 chambered in 6mm Remington
Mr. Newton has had a big hand in keeping the No 1 in production. But how much longer can Ruger continue to justify its existence?
Quality and beautiful single shot rifles have been the best sporting and collectors rifles since 1873, and they still are! Thank you Ruger!
I had one in 577 NE by SSK Industries.
Wish they had one in SS wood stock in 30-06
In Germany, Hartemann & Weiss make a great falling block rifle with an exposed hammer.
Single shot rifles are all that’s needed to place the correct shot.
I wish I could find a steel quarter rib that accepted talley steel rings like that 7mm he has there.
The only one i have is a standard 30-06, but i love it. I would like one in 35 Whelen, 45-70, 38-55, 44 mag, 30-40 Krag, and an RSI (full stock) in 7x57, just for the heck of it and because it is traditional. And probably a 25-06 in stainless with a laminate stock. Ambitious i know, but maybe i will get to own 1 or 2 of them.
Check these custom No. 1 beasts out. czcams.com/video/su9ZJ1SFldQ/video.html
I bought a #1 in 30-06 just a few days ago, it's a sweet rifle. I've only put 25 rounds through it but that's all I need to know I love this rifle.
@@TheExplosiveGuy yep. Mine has a Keplinger safety and single set trigger too😊
@@troy9477 Nice! I just read about those, I'm considering installing one in mine now, though to be honest the 5 pound break on my gun as it sits is already halfway decent. What's the pull weight on that trigger?
@@TheExplosiveGuy - About 1.5 lbs i think. I don't have any docs for it. The friend i bought it from in '15 had the parts installed many years ago. It is a nice setup
I got one of 25-06
There is a list in which calibers the No. 1 was made over the years?
Yes - I think I found one on the Ruger website. It is a long list.
I have a #1 375 how to you see how old it is
What does it bring in in price not fired. Ballpark.
Who cares.....guns are tools not artwork.
A falling block is based on an artillery principle. It is made for large impact. Using it for smallish cartridge looks like kid's toys. It is impressive only when doing the work that it was designed to do: holding a chamber closed despite the blast of hell.
Does shooting a collectors No.1 50th anniversary in 45-70 diminish it's collectors value? Anyone please chime in.
@Washington Bear It won't diminish the value in the eyes of your grand children when they get it. Each mark will have its story.
No talk about MOA, because they are not sub MOA that I would demand on a big gamer.
I hear tell you can handload 45-70 to stupid levels of power and the No. 1 will handle it just fine.
Yes - when you see separate load data for “modern rifles” it’s for the TC Contender and Ruger #1.
@@chipsterb4946 Come to think of it, I have seen that in at least one manual.
the problem with the #1 is that a guy can put together an H&R ultra, or T/C encore with top shelf glass, spend less money and odds are they will dramatically out-shoot an out of the box #1
You are correct, the Encore is inherently a more accurate platform than a No 1. But you need to pay first for an MGM barrel, Bellm cross pin and a trigger job.
This is the sort of rifle that will be left when the anti gunners get their way. Of course they will get rid of them too.
No shooting. Worthless
