Here is a picture of my modest collection.

My ol' buddy, now gone, had quite a few of 'em I thought, but you sure have him whupped. Any really "special" versions in there- limited chamberings, for instance?
His all sported scopes because his old eyes needed that to shoot.
He never shot a jacketed bullet in any of 'em, either.

Very very nice and I have always had a close spot in my heart for the # 1's  and thank you so very much for sharing.

There are at least 6 full customs along that wall, including a 22mag built by Steve Durren.  Also, a 222, a 223, a 22 Hornet, a 7x57 and my latest, a 256 Newton.

As far as special or limited chamberings, there are a few of those as well.

I have several of the Lipsey's exclusives including 2 of the    25-06 AH's, a 30-30, a 6.5 Swede, one of the 275 Rigby's and a 300 H&H Mag, all with factory Circassian walnut.

Nice collection. I've always been enamored with the Ruger #1 and I have 4 of them, 22 Hornet, 7x57, 45/70 and 405 Winchester. I would like to get a 26" barrel Medium Sporter but the prices have gone high lately.

Nice accumulation/collection!

I won't admit how many I have . . . . Embarrassed

Smiley

If I could afford it, I'd also have a lot more of the old original single shots. As it is, I don't find much time or good weather to shoot any of my rifles.

I'm familiar with a No. 2, but have never heard of a #4. Pray, do tell!

By my count there are 15 with "Henry" fore arms.  Is that your favorite style?

Also, there are those several reshaped forearms with black ends.  Care to elaborate on those also.  I have always like the "stalking rifle" reworked forearms.

I was in a rather large gun store yesterday to purchase a scope and was pleasantly surprised at the number of #1's they had on the rack.  The down side is they all reflect the "new" higher market pricing.  Just an old guy bitching here......  LOL

Aha, just semantics then. That is what I and other Ruger No. One adherents call a #2; neither fish nor fowl.  Wink
