There are rumors that Ruger is going to discontinue the #1. I hope not as it's a great rifle. I have a line on one in 6.5X55 that's the international but it's stainless and I'm not so sure about that.
A gun I most regret selling was a #1 AB in 7X57. It had nice wood and was a pleasure to carry and to shoot. I sold it when I had a custom bolt gun built in the same caliber and didn't see a need for two of them. That's was 25 years ago and I have never seen another in that configuration.
William I have a #1 in 450-400 3" NE and while I can push a 300gr bullet way faster than it needs to go I enjoy shooting a reduced load of about 1800 FPS using a Hornady XTP pistol bullet. If your looking for a #1 in 405 Steve Barnett has a nice one on his web site.
