Ruger #1 RSI

[Harp98]

I bought on in perfect shape yesterday from a friend of mine in 30-06.  The price was $350.  This is a great feeling gun.  What kind of accuracy should I expect out of the shorter barrel.

Thanks

The shorter barrel shouldn't have a detrimental effect on accuracy.  If the trigger is good, you should be able to get 1 1/4 - 1 1/2 inch 3 shot groups at 100 yards or better with factory loads.  Handloads will reduce group size.

At least that has been my experience with my 7x57 No.1 RSI.  Handloads will do 3/4" or better depending on the shooter.

That accuracy will work.  I will use this gun to hunt whitetail deer.

Thanks

Were you wearing a mask and pointing a colt when you stole that rifle?  Great deal there, congrats and enjoy.  I have one in 270 and it ain't for sale.

Actually I did not have a mask but it was a great deal.  I think is was one of those situations were he needed some money and I just happened to have it.


I am usually on the other side of the equation.

It's my favorite woods rifle for deer. I've got a Burris 1-4x compact on it. It's a great rifle - enjoy!
