These are great rifles. I have one only, a 30-06 #1B. It isn't going anywhere except the desert or after Elk( doubt nowadays). Fabulous rifle.

Nice #1

I have been looking for a #1 but can't find one in a caliber I want. lots of .375 or .416 even saw a .357 but I want to find a #1V in .204 or .22 ppc might have to break down and buy something and rebarrel but seems so wasteful. Ruger having limited calibers per year is kind of annoying wish they would let you order special calibers in their custom shop.

Check Whittaker guns. They may be able to help. I had trouble loading their site. Probably me. But, they're usually pretty good.

This is the Ruger No1 guru. http://www.classicsportingarms.com/r...fles-for-sale/
He has mostly the rare calibers now but can usually find anything you want. Lipsey's is the reason the No1 is still alive. They order a special run each year in different calibers. I have 2 1V a 223 that will put 5 shots under an inch at 100 yards and a stainless K1V I just picked up in 22-250.
After selling off all my Garands I decided to get one of each model a 1A-7x57 1B-300WinMag 1H-458WinMag 1RSI-30-06 1S-7mmRemMag 1V-.223 K1V- 22-250Rem They are all early red buttpads except the 1RSI.

That is great wood for a black pad gun. The newer ones have been plagued with complaints about the 2x4 looking wood.

I'm game for a High Desert Lever Shoot.

If it's in the Fall/Winter I'll even bring a pot o' chili, with beans, of course.

Going on first trip this year to gold claim near Yosemite this weekend cant figure which marlin to bring. Good problem to have Nothing like gold mining and shooting levers

When I was in my pre-teens and teens, my uncle had a gold claim in Angeles National Forest near Iron Mountain that we accessed through Monte Christo campgrounds, via a locked gate and then a couple miles of steep road. It was not far from the Monte Christo Mine, which was a private inholding at that time. I am not sure of its status now. The forest service got very tough on the mineral claims and he lost it. He had a trailer/cabin and some other improvements. Lots of quail and cottontails, and a mountain lion that liked to sleep on the roof in the winter when the cabin was heated. We went there about once a month when the weather was good and did a lot of shooting.
