    Greetings,

    Up for sale is my Ruger No.1 chambered in 270 Win. I bought this from a Bayou Shooter member several years back and never really got around to putting it to good use. Cards on the table, this is a man's rifle. You have to be sure of your abilities to be able to field a single shot rifle like this.

    $975 cash preferably around Lafayette, but I get around. Possible trades will be listed at the bottom.

    I checked the Ruger website and the serial number indicates it was made in 1978. It shows light signs of wear- the blueing on edges and corners and wood has some minor marks when you look closely. I promise, it's nothing to make you vomit or cringe.

    If the pictures don't come up, I'll try posting them in the comments or something.

    The scope is a Leupold Vari-X III 3.5 x 10 -- 50mm

    The No. 1 along with single shot rifles in general allow for a relatively short overall length compared to the barrel length because the action does not require much of the rifle's length. The scope mounts above the chamber and bore via a proprietary Ruger system which works quite well. It's a lightweight rifle made to take out on long walks in the woods until you find the right spot for your one and only shot.

    The 270 is a solid cartridge- "suitable for big game in the 300-500 yard range". You can find it just about anywhere and there's never really a shortage of it.

    Contact me via PM or comment.

    Trade options +/- cash:
    - a good bolt action 308 with a 20" heavy barrel. I'm not fond of the SPS because the action feels rough.

    -Mossberg 500/590 with the full length magazine tube. Wooden furniture is a bonus.

    -M1 carbine. I want a shooter, not a collector.

    -Smith and Wesson revolvers:
    M19 K-comp
    M25 or 625 with a 4" barrel
    M327 with a removable rail
    M627 V-comp preferably in 38 super
    M929 because I like shooting revolvers in matches

    I've been seeing these at the last several gun shows I've been to. The dealers seem to be asking an arm and a leg for them, maybe even a kidney too. This particular one has a relatively high grade of wood on it, making better than most I see at the gun shows. Not to toot my own horn, but this is a generous price.

    Carrying on from my last post, these rifles don't go for less than a grand and that's without a scope and a less-appealing model.

    I asked about them at Dave's gun shop in Lafayette as to why they're fetching such a value, he has one for 1400. He said the action is the best in a single shot and the aesthetics are top notch.

    My wife was shooting one in 25 06 at 4 months pregnant. It was one of her Dad's. He has a few of them. One of the best
