I went today and  got what I've been wanting for some time... A Ruger#1B in 30/06. I just had to tell it! :grin:

:D Congratulations!!!!   I've always wanted a #1.  Beautiful rifles!  and my favorite caliber!  Be sure to let us know how the shooting goes, 'cause if I can't have a new rifle right now, the next best thing is having a friend with one.  I'm even gonna toss in my favorite reload!!   :)   53 gr IMR 4350 under a 165 gr nosler partition, a mild load, (between 25 and 2600 fps) can shoot it off the bench all day without discomfort and goes 5 round groups inside a 3/4", and for the last 23 years, has never failed to kill on contact  :-D
