production # of Ruger No.1 Lipsey's 22 Hornet
I just bought a Lipsey's special run Ruger No.1 in .22 Hornet.

Does anyone know how many of these rifles were made?

Can't find any info on Lipsey's site or the 'net.

So far all the Lipskys specials were made in lots of 250 with a guarantee not to be offered again..as far as I know anyway, same with Hollowell..

No. This is a newer rifle made for Lipsey's on the 1-A model, with the light contour barrel (22"). I think they were made in 2017.

It has a case colored receiver, lever, and grip cap, with a jeweled falling block and lever release, plus upgraded wood.

The entire rifle weighs 7.0 lbs. and is very thin and svelte in the hands.

Again, I finally decided to just go to the source and ask Jason at Lipsey's. They made 250 of the .22 Hornets.
