My Ruger No. 1

Here's my Ruger No. 1, chambered in 22 BR. It has a Shilen select match stainless barrel and a Kipplinger single set trigger. It is very accurate and will shoot .5" groups all day long with Lapua brass and 40 gr. Berger bullets leaving the barrel at over 4000 foot seconds. It is not a friend to ground squirrels.
The butt stock is Ruger and I made the wide forend. The scope is a Unertl 15 power Ultra Varmint. Love this rifle.

That's a beautiful gun! I have a 98 Mauser actioned 22-250 with a douglas barrel that I have replaced the trigger with a timmney and had jeweled the action, but have a sporterized 98 stock on it so it's not pretty, john

That rifle looks like sudden death to ground squirrels and other varmints.
Very nice!

I had never worked with a falling block rifle before I build my Ruger No. 1. I had dabbled in organized benchrest shooting so my experience was with bolt guns. My goal was to build an old-fasion falling block rifle and see how accurate I could make it. I bought the finest components I could get for the rifle and the cartridges. I spent a lot of time prepping my brass (weight sorted, neck turned, flash holes reamed, etc.) I did a lot of load development with it and wrote an article about my results in Prescision Shooting Magazine.
In preparation for the article I shot 58 groups (five shots each) with various bullets and powder combinations. My average group was .627. This is an average of all groups fired, the good and the bad. My pet load includes a 40 gr Berger bullet and Benchmark powder. This load results in velosity in the range of 4010 fps and groups in the .25 range. I'd say this Ruger No. 1 is a very accurate rifle.
