[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 479151, member: 22069"] I would not consider a Ruger #1 to be a particularly suitable long range rifle. Ruger #1's inherently have design features that work against accuracy and have a reputation for being temperamental and/or finicky when it comes to getting and maintaining top accuracy. In addition, building a long range rifle frequently requires an aftermarket match grade barrel. I am not aware of any barrel maker who will install their barrel on a Ruger #1 at the factory. There are smiths who will do the job, but not many of them. Having said all of that, I don't think it would be impossible to build a long range rifle on a #1. I think that it could be done provided that one was willing to go to the expense and frustration that it would likely require to get there. If you are going to build on the #1 platform, I would start with a #1V. I would consider the current offerings in 6.5 Creedmore and 25-06 to be the most suitable available chamberings for long range use. If you decide to take on a project like this, it would most certainly make for a unique and interesting rifle. [/QUOTE]
