All but one of my #1's have had trigger work done on them.

One of those leaving my accumulation is a rebarrel in 22-250AI it has a Lilja stainless barrel and a Canjar set trigger . I shot the smallest three shot group so far in my life with that gun it was .054” over the diameter of the bullet . My father bought that rifle I never did care for it . The other I’m selling is a plain Jane like new in the box 1B in 243 , I gave my pop that one for Xmas fifteen years ago . Worked up three loads for it , killed a deer with it pulled the scope off and it’s been in the safe ever since . Over the years I’ve had 40+ different #1’s all factory except the 250AI . Always wanted one in a 257 Weatherby , had them in 270 an 300 Weatherby . Also would liked to have had 1A’s in 6.5x55 and 7x57 but never pulled the trigger to purchase either . The only ones I truely miss in the 1’s I owned were a 1B in 264 Win Mag and a 1H in 375 H&H Mag .
