Terry, I have a #1S that was a 7mm RM. I had it rechambered to 7mm Dakota. The rifle shoots great & I think they look better than the #1B. They area also a bit lighter (maybe 1/2#) than a #1B. I suspect the bbl. is a bit thinner. I don't think they chamber in the .30-06, just the .300WM. | |||

May I suggest that you get a 1A light sporter. The 1S is kind of heavy while the 1A balances better and is nice to carry and shoulder. I have a 30/06 1A and a 300 Win Mag in the 1S and that 1S is not a fun rifle to carry around for the small gain it has over the 30/06. I like those Alex Henry forends. It's a beautiful rifle. | ||

Thanks for the info! Perhaps I'll go with the 1A. I like the looks of the Alex Henry forearm also. I had a 1B in 30-06 for awhile and I'm now interested in a rifle like that again. I was going to experiment with the 26" barrel and 30-06 loads. Oh well. I'm always wanting something they don't make. | ||

It goes the other way too. If you are willing to carry that heavy 1S then it might as well be a cannon cartridge. My .300 Win mag is a very accurate rifle. Buy the 1A in 30/06. I have had mine since 1969. It's a keeper. | ||

I had a 1-A in 30-06. Great rifle, balance, looks, etc. It had a stunning burl walnut buttstock. | |||

There have been several small batches of uncataloged Ruger 1-S models over the years, though I have not heard of one in '06. I've owned a factory Ruger 1-S in .38-55 and another in .300 H&H that I was a fool to sell. I've also seen one in .270. The 1-S and 1-H models are the most attractive in the line IMO. | |||
