When I was 11 I’d saved up money for a dirt bike . Unbeknownst to me the folks put their heads together and decided they oughtta get me thinking about centerfire rifles . They knew it would be easier to keep the rifle under control . So we started looking a bit and my pop wanted me to get a Ruger #1B in 243 at that time suggested retail was $265 if one could be found . I didn’t really want a single shot when I was 11 and Clark Brothers in Warrenton didn’t have any in stock so I ended up with a nice new 700 BDL for $120 less . Now over the last forty years I’ve owned close to fifty Ruger #1’s mostly 1B’s but a couple 1V’s and 1H’s . There’s a fairly decent collector market for #1’s . Out of the last bunch I had , I think ten of them went to a now friend in Maine at last count he had close to a hundred of them .
