mdstewartRuger #1 Refinished .375 H&H
Just got this rifle back from my stock refinisher. I bought this rifle used from Cabelas with the stock a little rough but with very good figure.
It shoots incredibly tight groups using the Barnes 250 gr TTSX bullets. What I didn't know, until my stock refinisher broke it down, is that the fore-end had already been reworked for accuracy.
The pics you will see, hopefully from Biebs will show what a #1 should look like. Thanks for looking.

mdstewartBy the way, my finisher hand checkered over the factory Ruger stuff, and the checkering is fantastic.

mdstewartIf it appears there's a big scratch on the left side of the receiver it's because there is one. But since this is a hunter I just did some touch up work on it last night and it's barely visible now. No need to have it re-blued.

dpcdVery nice rifle; this is one of my favorite #1s; the only thing that might make it better is if it was in 450-400.
I know, why am I wasting time posting here when I should be working on your stock? Well, I was but I got tired.

That's ok Tom. You should get some rest, especially on those cold cold days in your part of the country.
Can't wait to get that .275 Rigby in my hands.
