:D  :D  :D Ican now take off a #1 internatioal off of my wanted list just purchased one from a guy in Galgary Alberta.It's in 3006 and supposed to be in new condition.Found it in the Canadian Access to firearms paper published from the Yukon.Great paper you can email them and they will send you a free copy....firearms@yukon.net  
I have sold and bought out of this paper.
Now all i have to do is wait till it arrives,my little 2x7 leupold compact will shure look good on it.
Wife says i have to sell something now to pay for it,,,,,Wife for sale,,,,or kids...ha ha ha .
Shure hope it shoots. :D  :D

I think you will really like this rifle.  I have one in 7x57 and it is the cat's meow.  Balance is great, it is compact and a pleasure to shoot.  I'm not sure how much muzzle blast the '06 will have out of the short barrel, but I do enjoy the one I have.  Let us know how it shoots!!

30-06 in #1 RSI

I too was a little concerned about this chambering in a 20" barrel. It would appear that the case volume to bore ratio is just about the same as 7x57 so would one really expect a significant difference in blast :?:  By the way all of the other RSI chamberings are even less ideal in this regard.

Ed, :D
I haven't shot an '06 in the RSI, so I may have been talking out of my left ear!!!  That does happen on occassion.  My apologies if I caused unwarranted concerns.  I have shot a friend's 20" barreled '06 custom bolt rifle and it does a rather fierce muzzle blast, much more than the 7x57.  I guess that is comparing apples and oranges though, or maybe not?  Should keep my mouth shut if I'm not comparing the same rifles, I guess. :oops:

My apologies.

The No.1 RSI is a specatular rifle and is a great pleasure to shoot and hunt with.  I'm sure those that have them will enjoy.

Muzzle blast

YJ,

I was not trying to "put you in your place" or otherwise shut you down on your concern. I too had the same concern and had to talk myself out of it and into a beautiful #1 RSI in 30-06. I'll admit I'd probably rather have it chambered in .308 but alas Ruger has never seen fit to do so and my particular specimen happened to be chambered in 30-06.

I've been shooting a 22" 30-06 my whole life so I didn't really think 2" would translate into some kind of horrific blast so I went for it and I'm sure glad I did. It is the sweetest handling rifle I own.

I have a Ruger #1 243 that ranks as one of the most accruate I have--I have a M77 RSI in 308 that is the lease accurate by far. It is a gorgeous piece, but I am sure it needs stock work. The muzzle blast is phenomenal from the short barrel. Good luck. I love my Ruger rifles.

Ed,
I didn't take it that way, just kinda kicking myself after I thought about it awhile. :D

You brought up some excellent points and I felt my previous post may cause the potential buyer to rethink buying it.  Those are really great rifles and I didn't mean to dissuade the purchase in any way.

No problems here. :wink:
