No.1 Action
I have a question for all the Ruger No.1 guru's....

If I were to build a custom rifle using a Ruger No.1 action, is the action universal, or are the actions of different spec for the different calibers and variations e.g. Tropical and Varmint?? So my question is, if I get a second hand action off say a 30-06 or a 308, can it be used to build something like a 9,3x74R??


"A peculiar virtue in wildlife ethics is that the hunter ordinarily has no gallery to applaud or disapprove of his conduct. Whatever his acts, they are dictated by his own conscience, rather than by a mob of onlookers. It is difficult to exaggerate the importance of this fact."

I believe that all the #1s are similar except for the triggers (some are adjustable) and the extractor - ejector is modified to suit a particular cartridge head. Short answer yes it can. --- John303.

Have done just what you are speaking about. Examples are 22Hornet No.3 action(other than lever system, the same as No.1) to 45/70 w/ simple change of extractor plus No.1 from 22-250 to 348Win. and again change out of extractor.

They're pretty much all the same but most action parts are individual fitted.
