    I supposed that's what makes it so galling I know that No1 are great guns but some idiot has wrecked a good rifle because he couldn't be bother to clean it and now it's going to cost to get it right.
    Real calibres start with a .4

    Ahh, a rifle after my heart...

    I've had a Ruger #1 going on 25 years (wow, that long?). 30-06 with a grade 3 black walnut stock. Nice and accurate (and I cover it up in the woods). 3/4MOA with 168BT (custom reload).

    They are one of the most nimble and well balanced guns in the woods. easy to maneuuver in thick brush (second to a Winchester lever).

    But you didn't mention about the one shot. It really makes you think about each and every shot. Making that shot placement count. Sure, follow-up shots can be fast, but, that's not my point. It's the one-shot thing.

    Have the action blued, it doesn't cost that much in the UK, does it? In the US I disassemble my guns and have them hot blued for between $100 - $150.
