Thread: Ruger #1 303s of NZ

I don't have a Ruger #1
A friend has heaps of them from 22 hornet to 458 and plenty in between

I would like one because I'm a single shot guy
But the right one at the right price hasn't come home with me yet

But I read with interest lots of threads about getting the problem ones to shoot.
Clearly some just go great straight out of the box
Others get sold on our of frustration by the original owners.

As a matter of interest ( and why I posted to this thread ) there are over 50 parts in a Ruger #1
I think this is part of the problem . Lots of parts in a mass produced rifle means lots of potential points of change in isolating the cause of inaccuracy.

But good old Bill Ruger opened the eyes of the world to a quality single shot anyone could own
So I will excuse his mass produced complexity
