Sure would be nice to reread whatever article about the rifled CHE. I don't remember whether the records on this gun were ever shared. How about that, James? Is there any documentation on the barrels? An early owner, maybe the original purchaser, was fellow Marylander Dr. Robert Snavely. When I was just a pup, Doc Snavely probably shot the rifled barrels occasionally. However, he was more a Parker collector than one who insisted on shooting his treasures at game. He ran in some pretty fast Parker company. His two closest hunting and shooting companions had a couple of Invincibles in the closet, before much of anyone else had even seen an Invincible. Doc Snavely is the only person I have met face to face whose name is actually posted in a Parker Brothers order book. I found our "home town boy" in an order book when copying the Parker Brothers records at Ilion in 1998.

Twice I have posted on this forum detailed photos of Doc Van's rifled 12ga barrel C with two sets of barrels, complete with rib markings and inscription to C A Winship of Palms, California. The last post was on 12/09/2009. The gun is a rondell engraved C.
There is no evidence that Doctor Snavely, or anyone from Maryland, has anything to do with Doc Van's rifled barrel C. Palms, CA is between Los Angeles and Santa Monica. Bruce Day, Parker beginner. |

My deer rifles(big deer mind you): Two 1887 vintage .45-90 Winchesters, an 1886 lever gun and an 1885 high wall single shot. I tried to 'fit in' better this year and bought a mint early 80's Win mod 70 xtr in .30-06 and mounted a 3-9x Leupold on it. When it refused to shoot in much better better than 10" at 100 yds after an expenditure of about $150 in bullets, powder, dies, etc, I got the High wall out... with some careful reloading and a 410gr bullet it printed in 1.3" at 100yds and 3.1" at 200 yds.... guess which gun went on the moose hunt and which may be a permanent wall hanger... Now I just need to calibrate the tang sight on the single shot out to at least 300yds. The old guns will get the job done. I put two shots into a caribous heart at 250 paced off yds with the '86 once; the holes were within 1.5" of each other.

Richard I would check the scope rings and bases to make sure they are tight. i had one ring loosen up on a Ruger 416 Taylor and didn't figure it for several rounds. Next check the guard screws in the trigger group and floorplate. If there is a screw in the forarm (I don't recall as its been a long time since I owned a post 64 70) check that as well. to tight is as much a problem as to loose. My longest shot at a Whitetail was with a post 64 M70 in 243. 447 paces across a winter wheat field to a 130 class 9 point. he resides with honor on the wall next to the gun room entrance. Those guns will shoot. I have had a scope go bad once or twice as well.

As has been mentioned the Ruger No. 1 is a wonderful and simple rifle. I bought mine in .270 in 1981 and mounted a Leuopold Vari-X III 1.5 - 5X on it. It is perfect for my purposes and I think the last time I needed to adjust the scope was eight years ago... in fact, I haven't had it to the range in as many years. Once every year I will take one shot with it at about 100 paces just to see if it still prints where I last set it. Sunday morning while in the deep woods I took a (sitting) shot at a knot on the side of a big maple trunk. I knew when I squeezed off that I had pulled a bit to the left. I walked to the tree and sure enough, the bullet hole was exactly 1.25" to the left of the center of the knot and 2 inches high (which is the elevation I set it at eight years ago). Incidentally, earlier Sunday morning it slipped off of the tree trunk I had rested it against while I was occupied at an urgent task and it clattered down on a rock wall. I thought "No big deal, it has taken abuse before." but when I looked it over I discovered that the scope tube was dented. I was then determined to take a shot to see how badly I had knocked it off but as I ststed above... it is fine. What a great little game-getter!!
