but any caliber I'd find a use for it. Once I bought a custom 1-A that was originally a .243. Someone spent a boatload of money getting it re-bored to .257 cal. and chambered in .257 Weatherby Mag. Akin to taking a 7mm Rem. Mag. and necking it to .25 cal. but even beyond that a little. It was a lightweight terror, but recoil was not bad and shot flat.

The re-bore was done by a true master in the N.W. somewhere. A couple dealers at a show made me quote them a cash price and they asked to take it to their table where they had a bore microscope. The rifle never came back, it was replaced with a stack of $100 bills!

Not many folks, even now, are excited about rebarreling Ruger No.1's. Gary is an exception. They are all pretty.

Favorite all around Ruger No 1? Always wanted one. - ChrisG, 2019-08-01, 13:03
