A double rifle based on a widened No.1 action. Make it in some common calibers, and make it affordable. You could call it the 'No.2' I get the first one in 458 Lott, thank you very much (hey, it was my idea!) -Al | ||

What about a double based on the gold label or some variant of it, around 4000$ and in 470 NE. i'd buy one maybe two!! jj LostHorizonsOutfitters.com ---------------------------- "You may all go to hell, and I will go to Texas" Davy Crockett 1835 ---------------------------- | |||

They already make a good shotgun, just make a set of bbls. for it. i would certainly be interested in a $5K-$6 double in .450NE. LIFE IS NOT A SPECTATOR'S SPORT! | |||

fred, You have the better idea, a 450 NE so there are 458 bullets for it. ------------------------------- Will Stewart / Once you've been amongst them, there is no such thing as too much gun. --------------------------------------- and, God Bless John Wayne.

Keep dreaming, brother, never happen. When Bill Ruger was alive, he was contemplating a SXS DR to come along the heels of the RSM's. Now that he's gone to the great beyond, his people are letting stuff slip.

Yes. A while back several of us resolved to pester Ruger to chamber the No. 1 Tropical in .470. Got some nice lip service and that was that. Wish they'd do the No. 1 in 9.3X74R, as well, but I doubt it. There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t. – John Green, author | |||

dern!! I was just trying to work out in my head how a Ruger double falling block would need to be set up the other day. Glad I'm not the only one. DRSS | |||

I spoke with a Ruger rep at an SCI convention a while back. They had some gold labels there and I asked about their offering double rifles on them. He told me that it was very unlikely due to the expense and margins on the limited market.

Two no. 1s side by side? Sorry old buddy but you have lost it!  That would be the worlds most ugly rifle and would handle like a stump from an oak tree....A double needs to break open, and shotgun actions do not work either...A double for under $4000 is impossible unless a new method of regulation is discovered with the use of computers, and that is possible I suppose but has not yet been perfected as I understand it... In the meantime just keep dreaming, and stay away from POS doubles, they simply don't work.

My feelings exactly.  | |||

I have also been hoping for a #1 in 470. | |||

Something like this [falling block double] has been done in the past, but apparently didn't catch on!  See this dealer page, 4th gun down. Cheers, Doug | |||

Martini and Hagn made a 7x57R double on their dropping block action which was neither ugly nor heavy. A member at the Nitroexpress forums mailed me the review from Double Gun Journal and the rifle does look a work of art like all of the Martini and Hagn guns. And it weighed 6 3/4 pounds. Good hunting! Mehul Kamdar "I ask, sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people. To disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them."-- Patrick Henry | |||

I disagree. I've seen pictures of old falling block doubles. They seem neither ugly, nor unwieldly to handle. Done right, they could be the same work of art a No. 1 is, and have a far more substantial action. See the pictures referenced above. Not a bad looking rifle, IMHO. Just imagine one with updated enginering & modern materials. The No.2! -Albert | |||

Don't get your hopes up. It's been 5 years and counting on their SXS shotgun. None of us would live long enough to actually see a double rifle. There's not going to be a cheap way to buy a good double. Good shooting! Marshall Jones | |||

So I'm looking at an ad. in an Aust.mag. shows a Beretta 689 Silver Sable 11, Cal. 9.3x74R. Doesen't state a price (which is usually bad news,) & takes a scope if need be. Only thing is it's an under/over. That shouldn't be a problem should it?? John L. | |||

Some have missed the point...A falling block single shot is a wonderful rifle, but when you melt to of them together to get a double rifle and have two leavers, you have gone over the top, that does not even make since, it would be a total disaster at the market place..

I expect that Bill Ruger gave consideration to making a double rifle and decided against it. And probably for some good reasons. | |||
