I had a Ruger #1 in 243 caliber back in about 1979. Used the old Lee Loader that used a variety of cups for select loads and you seated the bullet with a hammer. Contrary to what I have heard, that little rifle shot everything well, and it certainly wasn’t due to my reloading skills at that...
A few years ago I sent a 30 year old 1x4 vari X 1 that had a broken vertical adjustment knob. That particular scope had been discontinued, but Leupold replaced it free of charge with a brand new 1x4 scope. variable.
