[QUOTE="Holmes, post: 54283, member: 457"] The #1 rifles are naturals for conversion to the old British classic heavy calibres. I have one in 500 Nitro Express. 27" Shilen, no brake, finished at 10.75#. It's a hoot to shoot and is definitely my favourite short range rifle. I had a #1 in 378, 30" tube, no brake. **** thing was brutal but accurate. Sold it to a friend who braked it and loves it. The #1s do have forearm issues and this condition seems to vary from rifle to rifle. There are a couple of accurizing methods, e.g., hanger tuners, milling the rib, bedding the forearm, etc. For a trigger, my personal pick is the Kepplinger single set. The Ruger #1s will never truly challenge the bolt rifles at long range, but they can certainly be massaged to deliver consistent accurate groups in most any calibre. And they look **** good doin' it!
