I missed out on a Ruger No 1 in 450/400 with some ammo and brass the other night and was feeling a little bummed about it. The dealer said he had another one he was going to list and I made an offer and he accepted! I am starting to look for dies, brass and bullets and need to find a low power scope to put on it. I think I am going to try some cast bullets in it also if anyone has any recommendations as to what bullet or mold? This should be a fun gun

Great caliber, used one a lot over the years..

Man I'd love one of those!

Mine proved to be accurate!

I really enjoyed owning it.

PM'd you about brass.

I had one but sold it here last year. Grear combo of rifle and caliber. I put a mercury brake in the butt so it kicked like a 243.

I have a 1x4 Leupold like new somewhere I would sell or trade, that would be a great option for the caliber..If interested make me a fair offer??

Had one, totally loved it
. Shot cast and jacketed. Foolishly sold it. Good news is a found a Boddington in 450 3 1/4 ; even more fun!
Enjoy!

Ended up buying a Bushnell 4500 1-4X 30mm scope to put on it. Debating on the rings, should I go Warnes with the QD levers or the Alaska Arms that mount the scope lower?

warene qd might work but i orefer alaska ones on my ruger.

What is wrong with the Ruger rings that came with it?

I had a rear express sight blade made and a shotgun style or DR style safety made to avoid ejecting cases rebounding back into chamber.

Some days wish I hadn’t sold it!

The scope is 30mm and they come with 1” rings plus I want QD rings

Ruger makes 30mm rings

Ruger didn’t have any in stock other than stainless and high rings. I searched several of the usual scope and gun sites to no avail other than high rings. I then started looking at other brands and the Warne QD rings looked good and I use them in my Steyr. Someone suggested the Alaska Arms rings and I sent them an email with a couple of questions. The owner called me and after talking to him for a while and what I was looking for and his rings sit lower than the medium rings of everyone else I ordered a set. They seem to realize that not every 30mm scope has a 56mm objective

i FILED THE SAFETY FLATISH AND CHECKERED IT,TOOK ABOUT AN HOUR, BUT I'm SLOW AT MY AGE..

Added the QD mounts and scope. Need to add the red pad and modify the safety

Looks good. I put Leupold vx3 1.5-5 on mine. Its become a favorite. I bought a bunch of Woodleigh bullets, to try. Been shooting 280gr lead with imr4198. Much fun. Put a pachmyer old english pad. It added length which helps me and really helps recoil. The hornady dgs load is quite a handful.
