. General question to the Ruger experts on here - model number 1 in .30-06 full stock, decent wood but not top, good overall condition. What sort of price would you see in the US ? I know ..... how long is a piece of string but just a ball park number is what I am looking for. Thanks for helping! Charlie . "Up the ladders and down the snakes!" | ||

A 270 was listed on GB for 1400 and did not sell. Price was dropped and it has a 1275 bid. It is in excellent condition and has nice wood. A 7x57 went for nearly 2400 in original box and like new. A 30-06 will likely not have high demand for that clambering. Really nice wood will bring a premium if gun is in excellent condition but not much more than 1300. If you don't have to ship it or pay taxes on it that helps. | |||

Charlie, In a gunshop all Ruger #1's are generally $750-1300 used discounting any upgrade for a top end scope. The $750 versions are usually pretty rough or in a less desirable caliber. I have also noticed that the one off version's generally sit at $1500-2500 and never move from dealer's shelves. Things like a 50th Anniversary, or some other commemerative. I'd like to find a new medium sporter in 30-06. I know they made them, but I never found one in stock anywhere. The most accurate Ruger #1 I have ever owned was a 375 H&H stainless was a half inch gun. The least accurate was a 45-70 red pad it was a 3-4 inch gun with every load. I have not seen one in about 10 months in the shops. | |||

My Ruger #1 experience is limited. I have a SS #1 in 45/70 that is stunningly accurate from the bench with stout handloads. I purchased a 30-06 that the accuracy was 2MOA not exactly what I expected from a 06 and tailored handloads. I had it rebarreled in 35 Whelen. I've had other non- #1 Rugers and my experience has been all had excellent metal working and fit and finish were good but some were tack drivers and others were ehhh not so good. | |||

the Hollowells for instance are ordered direct from Ruger in bulk of 250 never to be copied again by Ruger...Those guns have traditionally sold for $1600 to $1900 and double in price within a year or two...They have all been an excellent investment for me..

My experience is the older rugers didn't set any bench rest records and shot in the 2 inch plus unless tuned...Todays no. 1s that Ive bought and sold have all been tack drivers, I suspect thats the result of Rugers decision to make their own barrels and quit using those cheap barrels whos name I won't mention as the looneys always jump on that one!! telling all the cheap barrels were as good as the expensive barrels! the bullshit crowd.
